On May 9, 2009, Mei Ling Liu and her small band of friends gathered to help the Hammetts paint their master bedroom and redo the bathrooms. Although seemingly minor tasks, these "upgrades" were never afforded to the Hammetts, who have spent the better part of the past 20 years taking care of a constant flow of medically fragile children.

Mei Ling Liu contacted Dream House in 2008, as a representative of the Korean American Coalition, in hopes of identifying a community service project.

Via the Family for Keeps® Bridging the Gap program, Dream House acted as a liaison to connect Mei and her friends with Ken and Judy Hammett.

The Meiflower Project

We are so grateful for the work put in by the volunteers. They did a good job...were a hard working group of people and easy to get along with. Thanks so much for arranging for their work at our house. - Ken Hammett

The Meiflower Team (see more photos below)

When you meet someone who has adopted, raised, and loved over forty children who would have otherwise been lost to under-staffed and under-equipped medical facilities, your perspective on life changes. Your appreciation for the fact that such a person exists, that this person embodies all the altruistic values that you grew up seeing in movies and books, stops you in your tracks. You pause out of pleasant surprise, contemplate, and engage in an experience that will adjust your path in life toward the better. At least, that was the case when the Meiflower team met the Hammetts. And all we did was paint a few rooms for them. 

We decided to volunteer because we enjoy volunteering, but few such opportunities engage and build character as much as this project. We came away with an appreciation for simply having met people like the Hammetts, having played with their children, and having bonded with friends in something few people get to experience. That's why we're looking forward to coming back.
