In conjunction with the Wounded Warrior Project, the Home Builders Association of Greenville is providing Mauldin, SC resident and former Marine Sgt. Michael Batton and his family with a kitchen remodel as a way of saying thank you for everything Michael and his family have sacrificed for our country.
As homebuilders, our passion is to provide people with the American Dream of homeownership. Without the service of those like Michael, attaining that dream could never happen. In September of 2006, Michael was deployed to Ramadi, Iraq where he served as a headquarters platoon sergeant. During a mortar attack in December of that year, Michael sustained a traumatic brain injury, and was medivaced to Germany. Michael was granted permanent military retirement in April of 2011 and presently lives in Mauldin with his wife, Sarah, and their two children, Jenna and Tyler.
Dillard-Jones Renovations is leading a team of HBA members and local sponsors to remodel the Batton's kitchen, with a hope of providing the family an inviting, comfortable space to gather and create lasting memories. The team includes:
Builders First Source
GBS Building Supply
Progress Lighting
Sherwin Williams
Oldcastle Surfaces
Greer Flooring Center
Gateway Supply Company
The Cook’s Station
Alan Dickerson Painting
Whole Foods
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) began when
several veterans and friends - moved by stories of the first wounded service members
returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq - took action to help others in need.
What started as a program to provide comfort items to wounded service members
has grown into a complete rehabilitative effort to assist warriors as they
recover and transition back to civilian life. The program seeks to: raise awareness and
enlist public aid for the needs of injured service members; help injured
service members aid and assist each other; and provide unique, direct programs
and services to meet the needs of injured service members. Click here for ways you can get involved.
