Accessible Home Renovation Project
A few months ago, I wrote about Bobby Assadourian, Owner of Triple R Inc., who attributes his success to his organizational skills. Bobby recently contacted me to let me know about his involvement in a very special project.
QuickContractors.com and Cambridge Insurance Brokers, with the help of Triple R. Inc. and CNS Renovations, are teaming up to provide a Barrier Free Home Renovation to the McQuinn family of Guelph, who were selected from 180 applicants. Amanda McQuinn was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of three. Doctors were able to remove over 95% of the tumor, but Amanda was left paralyzed on the left side of her body due to a stroke during surgery. She is now five years old and able to walk with the aid of her walker, but unfortunately, the doorways at the McQuinn residence do not accommodate the width of the walker, and Amanda is forced to crawl in order to access the entire house. With the expense and time consumed caring for Amanda, The McQuinn family is unable to afford the costly modifications needed to make their home accessible for Amanda, but thanks to the Accessible Home Renovation Project, they are now receiving the help they need. This project is the culmination of the commitment of community members who feel we should all assist people with physical disabilities to maximize their independence, personal empowerment, and community participation.
I’ve taken off my Organized Assistant hat to let you know about the project, and to ask you that you help out in one of the following ways:
- Make a cash donation via PayPal
- Sponsor the 2nd Annual Accessibility Awareness Golf for Charity Tournament
- Participate in the Golf Tournament on September 10, 2007
Thanks for your support, and for thinking about the people in need in your community.
