AAS Continues Support of Children’s Mercy Hospital
Recently, representatives from AAS Restoration, Inc. of Kansas City, MO, presented a donation of more than $4601 to Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics.
These funds were raised at AAS Restoration’s Texas Hold‘em annual poker tournament, a charity event specifically hosted to raise funds for the hospital’s burn unit. The fundraising began in the fall of 2007.
“In an effort to serve the community in which we do business, we have chosen to support Children’s Mercy’s burn unit. It ties in with our work in the Metro area, which includes restoring homes and businesses damaged by fire. We know how devastating the property loss can be, and can only imagine how much worse the circumstances are when a child is physically affected,” stated Amy Storts.
Over the past eight years, AAS Restoration has contributed nearly $52,000 to the burn unit. In addition throughout the year, AAS collects children’s underwear and socks for the burn victims, as well as gently used books that are delivered to the Children’s Mercy’s outpatient clinic program, “Reach Out and Read”. This program promotes literacy among their patients.
AAS Contributes to Fulfilling a Dream Factory Wish
In 2013 Ethan and Nathan Baldwin, twin 18 year old brothers, had a dream fulfilled by the Dream Factory of Kansas City. Born with Bardet-Biedl, a genetic disorder which can cause several symptoms, including mental disability and renal failure, the brothers have shared a single bedroom their entire lives. Through the Dream Factory both of the young men have gotten their own room and new amenities. AAS Restoration, a Kansas City-based restoration company, is proud to have played a role in the fulfillment of that dream.
Scott Baldwin, the boys’ father, had worked for AAS for nine years. “When Scott approached me with the question of whether our business would be interested in helping to remodel a room in his home to accommodate a second bedroom as part of the his sons’ dream, my immediate response was ‘Of course!’ The Dream Factory is an amazing organization and Scott’s sons are so deserving of being recipients of its outreach,” commented Stephen Storts, President. AAS Restoration provided the labor and building materials needed for the remodeling, while one of its subcontractors, Mike Netherton Custom Cabinets, built a custom bed and a desk for the new bedroom. Crowley Furniture provided additional furniture.
Employees in Action
AAS Restoration employees, Vicki Sutcliffe and Kirk Willms, lent their time and talents to Hammers, Helpers and Hearts, a local community action program. They helped to restore a basement area to expand the living space for a family that had adopted six children that desperately needed a good home. The group also painted the house and fenced in the back yard.
Fellow employees, Scott Baldwin and John Walker, spent a day in Joplin, Missouri, sharing their time and talents helping to restore a tornado- ravaged house. They spent the day working alongside members of Scott’s church group which organized the trip.
