Merry Christmas!

A long-time customer of PCS’s, Alexander Metals, experienced a tragedy last month with one of their employees, Kara Maynard.  Please read the following email from a friend and co-worker and give where you can, even if the giving is in prayers and well-wishes…

Hello everyone!

During this holiday season most people are more generous and giving and I’d like to share a story with you.  Several weeks ago a friend of ours was driving home after enjoying watching a game with friends. It was late, dark and the roads were damp and she lost control of her vehicle and it flipped into a ditch several times. When she arrived at Vanderbilt it was determined that her spine was severed and she was paralyzed from the breast line down.

In the blink of an eye, her whole life changed. She is now in an aggressive rehabilitation center and is trying to regain her health. Doctors do not believe that she will walk again but there is always hope. She is 35 years old, has a beautiful ten year old daughter and currently resides with her mother.

Unfortunately her mother’s home cannot be converted for wheel chair access but many people are coming together to convert her mother’s unattached garage into a studio apartment. A wonderful kindness to be sure, but as most of you know insurance never covers everything and the cost of obtaining a vehicle to drive, all the other necessities, and physician’s bills are going to be considerable.

Her employers are collecting donations in her name this holiday season to help her and her family with the coming expenses. If you were planning on giving to any cause or organization during this time of year, the Maynard family will certainly need it. You don’t have to send much but even if you can spare five, ten, or twenty dollars, please send it to: 

Kara Maynard 
C/O Alexander Metals, Inc. 
497 Cave Road 
Nashville TN 37210

I know that any donation will be appreciated by her and her family.
