Rose Hill ? Missionary Gracia Burnham and her children will soon move into a 1,700-square-foot home valued at more than $200,000 — and she won’t even have a mortgage to pay.

The home is a gift from more than 300 people and nearly 100 companies to Burnham, who survived a hostage ordeal last year in the Philippines that killed her husband, Martin.

Burnham and her three children are expected to begin moving in Monday. But she said she didn’t know when they would start living in the home because they were waiting for appliances and furniture.

“I thank everybody for the incredible house they built,” Burnham said Wednesday.

The home features oak floors, two fireplaces, a built-in curio cabinet and a stained-glass window.

Martin Burnham’s parents were from Rose Hill and they cared for their three grandchildren — Jeff, 15, Mindy, 13, and Zach, 12 — while the Burnhams were in the Philippines. Gracia Burnham had said that she was reluctant to take her children away from the town of 3,400.

“It’s been humbling, really, to see total strangers come and work on the house for hours and for days,” said Burnham, who is finishing a book about her ordeal. “It’s going to be neat to move into that.”

Teresa Burnham, Gracia Burnham’s sister-in-law, said the family was grateful that so many people had wanted to take care of them.

Mark McKenna, the home builder who helped lead the project, hadn’t met the Burnhams before getting involved.

He worked with people who had known the Burnhams for decades, such as Rose Hill resident Quentin Nusz, a carpenter who built the fireplaces and some of the woodwork.

“It was on their heart to help her out,” McKenna said.
