The Michael & Son Cares Program is back in the community and making a difference in the lives of families in need. Recently, the Cares program brought light to a home that has been dark for several years now. With a faulty electrical system and seven children in the home, the Ford family lived in constant fear of an electrical fire and losing their homeowners insurance.
Along with rescuing the family from the risk of a home fire and losing their homeowners insurance, Michael & Son has also stepped in to sponsor the Ford Family's First Annual Family Reunion.
For years the Ford family lived with a faulty electrical system in their home. Using just one power outlet for all their power needs, the homes tangled mess of extension cords was like the fuse to an electrical fire waiting to be lit. The family not only lived under the fear of a possible fire, they also were at risk of losing their homeowners insurance. With nearly all hope lost, Josline Ford made a fateful call to the Michael & Son Cares Program.
“When my Cares Team told me about the Ford Family and their electrical problems I knew we had to act. Being an electrician myself, I knew the family was facing a dire situation,” said Basim Mansour, Proud Son and owner of Michael & Son Service. We stepped in to make sure the family had a safe source of power and be more comfortable in their home.”
