Recently, Lee BIA Builders Care partnered with Cape Coral Plumbing to provide much-needed plumbing repairs for a homeowner in need.
Ms. Kalandras is an elderly and disabled widow currently fighting breast cancer. The toilet in her guest bathroom was leaking and required one to manually open the tank to flush. These needed repairs weighed heavy on Ms. Kalandras and with her limited income, the option for her to hire someone was out of the question.
After learning about Ms. Kalandras, Cape Coral Plumbing graciously stepped in to help. Thanks to their generosity, the plumbing repairs were performed at no cost and have made a life-changing difference.
