“I moved from to Dallas from Florida back in March 2019 to help my dad support my brother and sister with their schooling. My dad had recently taken a new job that required him to fly out almost every other week sometimes for the entire week. After talking with my dad and seeing how hard he was working, I made the choice to move here so I could fill in for my dad during the times he couldn’t be here because of work. Now my sister will be to attending college to study criminal justice and my brother has begun the process to enlist into the United States Army after the graduate from Plano West Senior High School. I am very proud to have been here to help be a part of what’s turning out to be a great future for the them both!Avery GrayUltimate Handy Man
