Charity House by Behr
A little over a year ago Steve & I stood in our kitchen, discussing a possible remodel with Mark Behr, owner of Behr Construction. Before he left we told him about John’s Charity. A few weeks later he said he wanted to run an idea by us. We sat in their conference room and Mark shared their idea about building a home and donating all the proceeds to John’s Charity. I don’t know what the look on my face was saying, but I was trying to stay composed, hold back the tears and not run around the table and hug him!
Fast forward to recently. Their idea is a reality. Behr Construction built a beautiful home in Waukee, sold it and where able to donate $8,709.38 to Johns’ Charity!
This donation will make an incredible impact on what John’s Charity can do this year. In the past, we have been able to donate 3 (on average) defibrillators to Central Iowa Schools. This year we will be able to donate 9! Which means, this year we are able to donate what would usually take us 3 years to accomplish.
With overwhelming gratitude, we say thank you to Mark & Shawnda Behr for their generous hearts, which will let us help prevent and educate families and communities around infant and young child loss, one baby step at a time.
