FERRIS, TX --- Jackie Kimbrell’s Ferris home used to be a dilapidated, run-down house built in the early 1900’s. Its condition was so poor, the City of Ferris recommended the home be condemned and bulldozed in the summer of 2010.
After hearing of Kimbrell, a 71 year-old single grandmother, and her plight with the city through a CBS 11 news story, Duane and Cheryl Tippit, wanted to help. They offered their services and vowed to get other businesses to volunteer their aide as well.
Brennan Enterprises heard Kimbrell’s story, felt her heartache, and immediately wanted to help. In association with the newly formed non-profit, Responding In Kindness, an organization aimed at helping the elderly and underprivileged with home repairs, Brennan Enterprises donated an entire set of Brennan Executive Series vinyl replacement windows supplied by NT Window for Kimbrell’s home… all completely free of charge!
Through various generous contractors that donated their supplies, time, and labor, Jackie Kimbrell’s house underwent a dramatic transformation.
“We were happy to help Jackie improve her home,” said Kerry Brennan, owner of Brennan Enterprises. “We got to know her through the process and she is such a kind, loveable woman. Brennan was honored to assist in this project.”
“The Responding In Kindness organization is wonderful. It was great to collaborate with their organization and ours, Windows of Opportunity,” stated Ryon Ray, founder of Windows of Opportunity.
“It was our first time working with them and we had the best experience. It’s always nice to give back to the community and those who are just a little down on their luck. The way companies and contractors came from all over North Texas to assist Jackie was amazing. We hope to help Responding In Kindness with other projects in the future,” said Ray.
