A Nelson family with a chronically ill teen is in disbelief over the community's generosity after tradies and volunteers joined forces to revamp their family home.
It has taken 10 days, more than 80 workers and close to $55,000 worth of materials to revamp the Perrone family's Nelson home - but the renovation has also fixed the family's spirit.
Tears of joy and disbelief rolled down the cheeks of mother Elizabeth Perrone and her family of when they walked through their newly-renovated house for the first time on Tuesday night.
The family of eight has spent the past 23 years living in the run-down property looking after their chronically ill daughter.
