Recently, the Michael & Son Cares Program, USO and K95 joined forces to help a military family with home repairs and renovations. The recipients had purchased a farm in Southern Virginia with the intention of building a center for at risk inner city teens. Shane Drinkwater, the recipient of the award and active duty serviceman had longed dreamed of building a place where children could come and experience the quite of the country. “This is something my wife and I have wanted to do for a long time; it could not have been possible without the help of Michael & Son Services” said Shane Drinkwater. The project also included other home improvement companies who generously donated their expertise and materials to help with the project. The recipient’s received a new HVAC system, hot water heater, brand new windows and patio that is used as a library.
When Proud Son & Owner of Michael & Son Services, Basim Mansour, set out to create the Cares foundation, he intended it to serve two purposes; to help families in the community who are in need and also to inspire others to do the same. “Helping the Drinkwaters achieve their dream of a building a youth center is exciting for us” said Mansour. “It almost feels as if it’s an extension of what we do with the Cares Program is being left here in Southern Virginia” continued Mansour.
