WATERVILLE -- Waterville Area Habitat for Humanity ran into some unexpected costs in building its third home in Waterville.

The result was nearly a $10,000 shortfall in its budget for the nearly completed house on Turner Street.

But a diverse collection of businesses, organizations and individuals has stepped forward to help with those expenses, including support from a Fallen Angel, according to Waterville Area Habitat for Humanity President Mike Grant.

Fallen Angel in this case is a rock band that will be performing at a benefit dance Saturday to help cover what remains of that shortfall.

"It is a great cause," said lead singer Tim Giguere of Fallen Angel. "We just thought it would be a great thing to do."

The dance is slated 8 to midnight at Champions -- Champions is donating the space and staff from the night club has volunteered to help at the event.

Nobody is more grateful for that support than Trisha and Jason Scott and their three daughters.

The Scotts are the family that will move into the home, possibly as soon as next month.

"If it wasn't for everybody in the community pulling together," Trisha Scott said, "this would never be possible."

The Scotts will be doing their own part in the fundraising effort.

The family of five will be with Habitat for Humanity from 9 to 3 p.m. Saturday at the annual Holiday Craft Fair at Waterville Senior High School.

Trisha Scott said her mother, Anita Johnson, has donated a quilt that will be raffled at the event.

Habitat will hold a 50/50 raffle as well.

And Trisha Scott said she plans to offer homemade fudge for sale.

Grant said Habitat volunteers plan to install Sheetrock at the Turner Street house this weekend and complete the final phases of the project over the next month or two.

Trisha Scott said her family is excited about moving in -- whenever that day comes.

"January would be nice," she said, "but if it is February it would be fine. We won't be that picky. Everybody in Habitat has been very, very good to us."
