The backstory:

Miller Marriott Construction designed the "Charity Home."

Miller Marriott owner Kirsten Miller said she donated the land. Most of the construction costs and labor were also donated. She plans to use $400,000 in profits from the sale to make a donation to the National Alliance on Mental Illness and other local mental health organizations.

Miller's brother, who worked in construction, died by suicide last year. She hopes to end the stigma surrounding mental health.

"We started down this road, and while we were talking with NAMI, men in the trades – 45 to 65 – were four times the rate for suicide. It’s alarming to us," he said. "We thought, those same people who said, yes, I’ll help you with this cause, are the same ones struggling."
