Empowering Communities, One Person at a Time.

"From the front door to the back door, I would like to thank everybody at Prairie Opportunity for helping me in my time of need. A few years ago, I had to retire due to health concerns. However, my house was in need of a lot of repairs. So much so, that in the Wintertime I would go to bed with layers of clothing on. I called Prairie Opportunity, asked for help and got in line. Ms. Sheryl Perkins talked to me and was able to assist me. Her entire Weatherization staff was professional. I have nothing to complain about. My house is old and cold. But since the job has been done, it is warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer. Thank you Prairie Opportunity!"

“I called Prairie Opportunity for assistance with repairing my central unit. The case worker put in a referral to the weatherization program to see about my central unit that would not turn on. I received an air condition unit from Prairie Opportunity and it really changed my life because my unit has been broken for about 2 years. I really appreciate you guys so much. I have also received benefits for my electric bills. It really saved me and my boys because we were able to purchase food rather than worry about how the light bill was going to get paid and how we would be able to eat. Prairie Opportunity is the greatest! Keep up the good work!”

“I was blessed in 2016, to come into (the) Prairie Opportunity, Inc. to ask for help to weatherizing my home. I had just lost my husband in January of 2016, (he) left me with very little to live on. My house was in very bad shape. My utilities bill was very high, because (the) air and heat was going outside the home, cause of the many cracks in the house. Prairie Opportunity approved me and gave me a new home. All the cracks are filled and I am so appreciative (to) the staff and workers. They did and awesome job on my home. I thank them and the Lord for the help in a time of need.”

“First and foremost, thank you for your help, time and consideration. With the helpful hand of your staff the whole process was made easy. Never once was I made to feel like I was a burden. I also appreciated the call afterward checking to see if I was doing ok and if I needed anything. If I should need help again, I will have no problem calling upon your services.”

“To whom it may concern. The Mosley Family would like to thank Prairie Opportunity for all they have done. The bill has come down a lot. The people were very professional and cared about our safety. My Uncle John Mosley has become more comfortable in his home. They’ve secured doors and windows, blocked air pressure from leaking cracks in the ceiling and roof. They’ve wrapped the hot water heater and replaced the vents in the ceiling and installation in the roofing area. The Mosley Family wants to thank you so much for all you’ve done.”

“To whom it may concern, with the help of this program I have seen a decrease in my electric bill. My home is much cooler now. Hopefully when my door is installed I will see a bigger decrease. I want to thank Miss. Evan for her assistance in helping me in this program. Again, thanks.”

“I appreciate every one being so good to me. The heater made a big difference and the air is great. Maybe now this summer won’t be so bad on me. Thank you so much.”

“Thanks to Prairie Opportunity, my home is now much cooler with my new air unit, (with) ventilation and insulation. My home is now more energy efficient and is more affordable to live in. Thank you Prairie Opportunity.”

“I am very pleased with the services I received. My new (HVAC) unit works wonderfully. The men worked in a timely manner and made sure that everything was properly done. I am definitely a satisfied customer.”
