Caring Help When you Need it Most!


That is the motto of my company, Evercare. On Thursday we not only "talked the talk" but "walked the walk" and gave caring help to someone in need. A 86 year old widow was living in a dilapetated home in East Houston. She has no children or others to help her with home repairs. Our company partnered with the AARP and went out to her house to see what we could do.
We replaced rotted wood, installed a wheelchair ramp, powerwashed and painted the entire exterior, and replaced all of the window and doors. On our lunch break, Ms. Jones came outside to check things out and said, "I feel like I am Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, someone has picked up my house, moved it, and now I've woken up in a magical place where everything is perfect." It is by far still not perfect, but nothing can replace the feeling you get when you help someone. Anyway, just thought I would share.




By the way, Matt's last day with Belfor was on Thursday. On Monday, he will be starting new endeavor in Individual/Small Group Health Insurance. So, if you know of anyone without coverage, feel free to drop Matt a line!
