A chance encounter purchasing a ring light has led to the beginning of a monthly community-driven project for a Vernon business.
Todd Embley, who co-owns KT Fairglass, which specializes in window and door installation, went to purchase the ring light from a Facebook ad that a local family posted in late 2023.
91裸聊视频淲hat I came to understand was that they (the family) have a son that they were taking care of full time,91裸聊视频� Embley told The Morning Star. 91裸聊视频淭he reason they were selling these lights was to help get more care for the son.91裸聊视频�
The son is Declan Arthur, who, in 2021, was involved in an accident with an ATV that left him with brain damage, loss of motor function and a reliance on a feeding tube.
Arthur was in a coma for nearly nine months and has since been at his parents home, being taken care of by father Gord and mom Angie.

91裸聊视频淎s I am walking away, I noticed that they have a window that has a lot of condensation and is really old and clearly failed,91裸聊视频� said Embley. 91裸聊视频淚 drove away and I was thinking 91裸聊视频業91裸聊视频檓 in the window business, they are a family in need, and they91裸聊视频檝e got this one big window that is probably the most important one in their home that needs to be replaced. I could really do something about this.91裸聊视频�
Gord and Angie were looking to replace the window right when they bought the house.
91裸聊视频淭he problem was that I would have had help with Declan to install a window, but after the accident I got no help no more so I couldn91裸聊视频檛 replace it by myself,91裸聊视频� Gord said.
Costs to renovate their home to make it accessible for Declan also contributed, as their whole flooring, from carpet, had to be replaced to hardwood.
Embley then got in touch with Milgard, which is a window manufacturing company.
91裸聊视频淚t was a great idea, and we were happy to help with providing the windows,91裸聊视频� said Craig Rasmussen, an outside sales representative from Milgard. 91裸聊视频淭o have one of our dealers (KT Fairglass) say that they will do the install for free, if we could contribute a window, then it was an obvious decision.91裸聊视频�
Rasmussen added that his company 91裸聊视频済ets a lot from the community, but if we can do some small things to help out, it feels great.91裸聊视频�
The new window will do more than just improve the Arthur91裸聊视频檚 quality of life.
91裸聊视频淚t increases security because it locks better, it increases quality of life, it makes heating more efficient,91裸聊视频� Rasmussen explained. 91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 multiple aspects that makes a new window better, and that will represent a much warmer area.91裸聊视频�
After the installation of the Arthur91裸聊视频檚 window, Embley91裸聊视频檚 goal is to do one window installations every month, free of charge for a family in the community.
91裸聊视频淭his is the very first one and I want to do it monthly,91裸聊视频� Embley said. 91裸聊视频淚 want the community to nominate more families who are in need.91裸聊视频�
