10-year-old North Florida Boy Suffering From Leukemia Gets A Brand-new Bedroom Thanks To Labor Finders And Other Local Business Donations.
When the employees at the Lake City Labor Finders office learned in October about 10-year-old Andrew Holmes’s struggle with leukemia, they knew they had to help. Several months of donated materials and volunteer weekend construction later, this labor of love came to fruition on none other than Valentine’s Day, when Andrew’s room was officially dedicated.
What was once the carport of the Holmes family home is now a clean, new bedroom fully decked out in Florida Gator orange and blue and equipped with a HEPA filter. Andrew, a diehard Gator fan, now has a clean environment in which to relax while undergoing chemotherapy.
‘It has been truly heartwarming to see the outpouring of support from Labor Finders and the rest of the community,’ said Dave Holmes, Andrew’s father and a trucker and Army veteran. ‘My family is so grateful for the selflessness of everyone involved in helping my son to have his new room. It is literally a dream come true.’
Branch manager Gary Sweat had heard about Andrew in the local media, but wasn’t fully aware of his situation until he received a call from Labor Finders International, the franchisor of the local office, several months ago. More.
