Thumbs up Flames pick Austin Carroll is building houses for the less fortunate in Mexico

Pretty cool story to see. Hope Carroll gets a cup of coffee at some point, he was killer in junior and seems to be a great guy.

Austin Carroll has a big heart.

We’ve seen him step in for teammates and take some punches.

We’ve seen him score big goals to give the Heat wins.

We’ve seen him in the Stockton community a lot, enough to be named last year’s Community Service Award Winner for his tremendous work in the Central Valley.

However, what you may not know what drives Austin to be the best human being he can be.

His father, Phil, was a successful businessman, a loving husband and father, however the thing that brought him the most joy was making the lives of others better. For 20 years, he took his family down to Mexico to build houses for those in need through the Homes of Hope program.

“My dad thought it’d be a good idea for us to see how people less fortunate have to live, and how we can help better their lives,” Austin explained. “My father would bring us down to Tijuanna or Ensenada, Mexico and help build a house.”

Since 1990, Homes of Hope has made it their mission to provide help to those who need it in 21 different nations with a network of over 100,000 volunteers who’ve built over 5,300 homes.

All the lumber and supplies needed to build the homes are delivered and a team of volunteers like the Carroll’s, along with the family receiving the home, pitch in and get to work.

Oh great, just what we need, a prospect with an enlarged heart. That's a serious medical condition and he should get it looked at.
