Sandra Johnson Tucker was one of seven home-owners in the West Grove to receive a big helping hand from current and former NFL players who were in town for the Super Bowl in February.  Through the Kickoff to Rebuild program, hosted by Rebuilding Together Miami-Dade, the players and other volunteers worked together to revamp the homes of low income families. The event is an annual project that takes place in the city to host the Super Bowl. Tucker said this was the first time in 47 years her house received a real makeover. Since 2006, Rebuilding Together Miami-Dade has repaired 64 homes in the West Grove.
