The Ruskin / South K.C. area was hit hard, with many trees and power lines down, due to a recent storm that swept through K.C. An elderly friend of one of our employees called her crying as she was so hot and did not know what to do since their power had been off for 3 days.
With all of the medical issues her husband had, trying to move out of the house was not an option. The husband is on Hospice because of bone Cancer and the wife has her own set of health issues including diabetes. She is determined to take care of her husband in their home, even though it is a huge burden on her. She says after 64 years of marriage, she can’t quit now! Knowing if their story was shared among the Meyer Companies team, we could find some help for them.
Kasey Graham and Jacob Brown to the rescue! Kasey and Jake met Chris Foresee at the couple’s home, and within an hour, had a Commercial generator hooked up to the home and running. After 31 hours of no power, this couple was back in business. The husband has a special mattress that requires electricity, it was inflated and he had a good nights sleep! The wife was able to cool off, but was sad when the T.V. still would not work, no cable! Their power is back on today with KCPL.
We are so appreciative of the generosity demonstrated by the Meyer Companies and the people who work here!
