It is a life-changing transformation for one family in Lake Worth.

"We were homeless, just like that. So...I don’t have the words," Paul Herbs, who lost his house to a fire in 2020, told WPBF 25 News.

"Battery that shorted out in the garage, and it kind of exploded and went throughout the whole house," Veronica Herbs said.

The Herbs said they moved into their home on Sun Up Lane in 1989. They were devastated when they lost their house more than two years ago, unsure of what was next.

That's when the local chapter of the Police Athletic League of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and community groups, including RX Screen, Living Water Pool Service, the Home Depot, Lansing Building Products and Avante Construction stepped in to help.

"We were able to receive a community grant and part of that grant was volunteerism, a community project for the kids," Maj. Ron Mattino of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, told WPBF 25 News.

"If it wasn’t for all their help, and everybody that volunteered and PBSO and PAL, we wouldn’t be in this house," Veronica Herbs said.

The Herbs also have a 35-year-old son, Joshua, who has cerebral palsy. The mother of his children died in 2015.

"They’re stuck with grandma and grandpa. So, here we are and they’re thrilled with the pool. They’re in it every day and it’s just unbelievable," Veronica Herbs said.
