Two months ago, NBC 15 told you of one family's mission to remember their son by rebuilding the lives of other young men. This week, the family of Aaron Meyer is one step closer.

In 2003, 16-year-old Aaron Meyer became addicted to marijuana. His family sent him to Mount Bachelor Academy in the state of Oregon for seventeen months of rehabilitation and recovery. Aaron was completely sober when he was killed in car accident just after his eighteenth birthday.

"He said Dad, this is what I want to do. I'm going to go to community college, take some classes, get a job and live with some of my friends from Mount Bachelor Academy, guys who I've been in recovery with who know what it's like," says Aaron's father, Tom Meyer.

Aaron never got that chance but other young men like him will. In January, the Aaron Meyer Foundation purchased a home on East Gorham that will provide a substance-free environment for four young men this fall.

"Right now we are seeing the tearing down of everything," says NARI Board Chairperson Melinda Monroe. "This week and next week and next week we'll move into mechanicals, which is the electrical, plumbing, those types of things."

Local members of NARI, as well as volunteers from Sweeney Construction and the Bruce Company are donating more than $200,000 in time and materials.

"There will be an entirely new kitchen, windows, trim, closets, flooring finish and flooring materials," says Monroe.

"Somebody else has volunteered to come in and teach healthy cooking and healthy eating in the new kitchen," says Tom Meyer.

As volunteers rebuild the space, Aaron's family finds satisfaction knowing that it will help young men pick up their own pieces.

"It is a marvelous opportunity to take these young men that are really interested in changing their lives and turning it around and putting them in an environment that they can really do that and succeed," says family friend Tim Kritter.

"There's a taking down, sort of tearing down, rebuilding and it's a good metaphor," says Tom Meyer.

The four young men who live in the house must be students, hold a job, pay for part of their rent, and continue counseling. The house should be ready August 14th, just in time for the fall semester.
