A MESSAGE OF THANKS
It’s been a few weeks since this special Make-A-Wish project was completed for Lucas and the Grimes family, and we continue to reflect on what an incredible experience it was for everyone involved.
In just two weeks, a community came together to help create something special for Lucas and his family. What began as a wish became a powerful reminder of what can happen when people come together with generosity, compassion, and a willingness to help others.
We are incredibly grateful to the businesses, organizations, volunteers, friends, family members, neighbors, and community members who gave their time, talents, materials, support, and encouragement to help make this project possible.

This special Make-A-Wish project brought together contractors, businesses, volunteers, friends, family members, and neighbors to create something truly special for Lucas and his family.
Over the course of two weeks, an incredible community came together to help bring this wish to life.
But this isn’t just the story of a project being built—it’s the story of a little boy who became part of the team every chance he got.
