Team Make A Difference

Ron Plunk and Allied Landscaping are ALWAYS willing to help us with our Hero Makeovers. Ron always comes right out when called and then says, whatever you need, we will do. He (and his crew) are just amazing people. They cleaned out all the debris from the pool area that the Joliet Fire removed. They put in grass in the old pool area, they cleaned whatever areas in the yard that needed clean up, they put in mulch where needed, cleaned up the fire pit area, and trimmed the large tree above the garage. They were gonna come back and put in new fencing that was needed until the Joliet firemen took care of it. I cannot say enough about them. Thank you Ron & crew for ALWAYS helping us make a difference. YOU ARE AWESOME!

Here are the before/after pictures from Hero Sam's bedroom. We moved Sam from his current bedroom into the larger spare/storage room. We added a ceiling lift to aid in transferring him from his bed into his wheelchair. All new electrical was installed that is Alexa voice controlled, including his blinds, track light above head of the bed, and tv mount. About a week before the makeover began, Sam was nervous about moving rooms because the paramedics wouldn't be able to make the turn into the new room, so we decided to knock out the wall in the hall and add a barn door so they could go directly into the room. It fit perfectly. He wanted to be able to see all his collectibles and memories so we added a shelf around the room with RGB lights and framed all his favorite posters. We framed his favorite sports jerseys and created a sign with his favorite quote "When all else fails, pet a duck." All his medical supplies were organized, labeled and put in bins. We had so much fun creating a space that was perfectly Sam's. We loved how it turned out! Videos will be posted later.
