Eldery population in need of better heating
They interviewed the director of a local nursing home where those less lucky spend their last days and highlighted the extreme situation that they were in, then apparently the Heating and Air Conditioning system in their facility had been failing for years and the cost of repairing it was becoming too much so they were holding a fundraiser to replace it… We live in the Northeast where Winters can be extreme and legitimately long so the last thing that people need, especially in their golden years, is to have to deal with cold cold temperatures in the locale where they live.
Local news station do the segment yesterday that absolutely got me thinking about helping out. They constantly try to highlight at least one organization that is in need of assistance each week and this one absolutely touched my heart. They interviewed the director of a local nursing home where those less lucky spend their last days and highlighted the extreme situation that they were in, then apparently the Heating and Air Conditioning system in their facility had been failing for years and the cost of repairing it was becoming too much so they were holding a fundraiser to replace it… We live in the Northeast where Winters can be extreme and legitimately long so the last thing that people need, especially in their golden years, is to have to deal with cold cold temperatures in the locale where they live. I jotted down the information about the fundraiser and the morning it was going to be taking locale however that morning when I went into work I sat down and had a talk with my boss as well! You see I work for a local Heating and Air Conditioning company and thought that my friend and I could do something more than just attend the fundraiser. I knew I couldn’t convince a couple of my other coworkers to donate their time or the installation as well even though I wanted my boss to supply the current system at cost. It took a bit of convincing however in the end he realized that this would be good for supplier because it would show that my friend and I cared about people and he agreed with my plan… Place a call to the director of the facility to let them know what was going on and what the final cost would be should they decide to go with our company for the purchase of the current Heating and Air Conditioning system. They were happy because this would make their goal of raising money a bit easier and my friend and I are looking forward to working with them.
