Jerry Kelly Heating and Air Conditioning Helps Family in Need
"They saved our daughter's life," says mom.
- St. Louis, MO-IL (1888PressRelease) March 07, 2012 - Lizzy Franklin was born with Down syndrome and has been receiving therapy since she was three months old. She has fought every day to accomplish minor tasks of everyday life. In 2009, at the age of 4, she confronted another dreadful diagnosis: acute Lymphatic Leukemia. Another burden was added last fall when the Franklin family discovered that bad air quality in their home was causing Lizzy to get constantly sick because of her weakened immune system. When the Kelly family heard about it, they did more than offer sympathy. They drew upon their expertise, and Jerry Kelly took action.
The air quality in the Franklin home was classified by Jerry Kelly experts as "medium-bad." It would cause Lizzy's father, Dale, to experience congestion and watery eyes. Lizzy, however, was fighting constant battles with respiratory infections and a case of pneumonia that put her in the hospital for two weeks. After an evaluation of the home, the Franklins learned that the entire heating and air system was contaminated and needed complete replacement. It all seemed hopeless.
The Jerry Kelly family dedicated a team of technicians, installers and staff to the Franklin family and installed brand new equipment in their home. This included an industrial REME air purification system, an Emerald 14-SEER air conditioner, a variable speed fan coil and an electric heat strip. The purification system was necessary for Lizzy's well-being because it eliminates the cause of her pneumonia: bacteria, mold and virus.
"We went out and looked at the severity of the situation and realized that it was such a terrible sequence of events that we had to do something about it," says Jill Kelly, daughter of Jerry Kelly. "We are proud to help a member of our community and thank the support of our customers who made this possible."
Since the installation of the new unit, the Franklin family says Lizzy has not had to take antibiotics or visit the hospital.
"When I learned that the cause of Lizzy's hospital stay was our own home, I was devastated," says Belinda Franklin, Lizzy's mother. "The people at Jerry Kelly did more than donate a heating and air system, they saved our daughter's life, and they will always be in our hearts."
The Franklins wrote a touching, hand-written note to Jerry Kelly, thanking the company of their generosity. "The Franklin family touched our hearts," said Jill Kelly. "How could we not help?"
