Our winning family was very unique in that we chose a single mom of two boys with very special needs, both physically and mentally. Their heating system was very old and inefficient and she had been told her furnace was unsafe to use. Once we began to realize the extent to which she dedicated her time to her children and that she would never ask for anything from anyone, we knew that we had made a great choice. When we wanted to replace the duct system to improve the airflow to several rooms she insisted that we use that money for others in need as those rooms were “just fine”.
We were fortunate to have Dave Webster Construction join us this year by offering to do whatever was needed at the home. When we found an old chase in the roof that was never sealed which allowed hot air to escape, they came in and repaired the roof. As both boys are in wheelchairs, they also improved the access to the front door to make it easier to transport her boys in and out of her home. I can’t express to you how much love is in this home, nor how blessed we felt to be able to help a family who would never ask for help.
Thank you to all who participated in nominating friends and family. A special thank you goes out to David Webster Construction for their contribution to improve the living situation for this great family.
