PEORIA, July 10, 2014
Through the rollercoaster ride of the construction and housing industry over the past few years, one thing remains; Todd Whittaker Drywall Inc.’s (TWD) dedication to their local community. Over the years, TWD has partnered with various charity organizations, but in 2014 they had the opportunity to work with the Building Homes for Heroes program in renovating homes to be gifted to severely wounded or disabled local soldiers in the United States Armed Forces and their families.
The first “Welcome Home” ceremony that TWD supported was on May 7, 2014 when Building Homes for Heroes®, Inc. gifted a home in Surprise, Az to Army Sgt Trevor Bishop, his wife and two children. Bishop was deployed three times to Iraq from 2005-2011. He tragically suffered various injuries resulting in a 90% disability rating, degenerative disc disease, traumatic brain injury and more.

The second veteran recipient, Army Specialist Eduardo Fuestes-Bueno was gifted a TWD remodeled mortgage-free home by Building Homes for Heroes®, Inc. experienced their “Welcome Home” ceremony on July 3, 2014 in Peoria, Az. Just in time for Independence Day, with his wife and children by his side, Fuentes received the keys to his new home. News media, surrounding neighbors, TWD and their compassionate vendors that worked on the home gathered to witness the memorable event.
