Many people have found themselves in a situation where they needed the assistance of others. Sometimes we take for granted what we have when so many others may never have that same opportunity. The real rewards don't come with shiny paint or a fancy box – they come with a feeling that someone relied on you and you were there to provide that support. Personally, I have seen for myself the look of surprise and relief in the eye's of people who have been helped by us. When they tell you on the phone that they can't afford much but could really use a hand; and we extend that hand. The payment you receive can't be spent at the corner store but it can be saved in your personal vault of kindness and generosity. The look I mention is one that makes me realize that today I really made a difference to someone. Pay it forward people and the rewards are priceless.
We will provide our services free of charge to folks who cannot afford to pay. We have always done this and have only been taken advantage of several times. We take each situation on a case by case basis and do our best to recognize where we can be the most beneficial.
There are many ways people can get involved with their community. We support Habitat for Humanity as a proud contractor working in an area which we specialize. Habitat is a terrific group of people who find the time in their hearts to give to folks who could really use a break. As contractors, we work with others providing skills that the team relies on. You too can get involved – Whether you want to give money or time the donation won't go without thanks. If we all find a place to give a little something - then someone out there will have an opportunity they may have missed without your help.
The following is a partial list of organizations which we believe could benefit from your generosity. Although this is only a partial list of the thousands of organizations; it is a starting point.
Notable Quotes:
“Now my friends, I am opposed to the system of society in which we live today, not because I lack the natural equipment to do for myself but because I am not satisfied to make myself comfortable knowing that there are thousands of my fellow men who suffer for the barest necessities of life. We were taught under the old ethic that man's business on this earth was to look out for himself. That was the ethic of the jungle; the ethic of the wild beast. Take care of yourself, no matter what may become of your fellow man. Thousands of years ago the question was asked; ''Am I my brother's keeper?'' That question has never yet been answered in a way that is satisfactory to civilized society.
Yes, I am my brother's keeper. I am under a moral obligation to him that is inspired, not by any maudlin sentimentality but by the higher duty I owe myself. What would you think me if I were capable of seating myself at a table and gorging myself with food and saw about me the children of my fellow beings starving to death.”
