The sun is out, let's warm hearts...

I came across this wonderful article about a Plaza resident who suffered a terrible accident and how the community rallied to help her out. Although she's leaving the Plaza (and we're sorry to see her go), she goes with our best wishes!
"A motorcycle accident the day before her 26th birthday in July left Catherine “Kiki” Beggs a quadriplegic. And although she has made tremendous progress at a rehabilitation hospital in Denver, it was clear she couldn’t return to her apartment on the Country Club Plaza. And living in her mother’s home would have been difficult at best without extensive modifications."
The community kicked in to remodel her mother's home. Big props go out to: Acme Floors Co., PODS, Daltile, Crown Millwork, Kinney’s Plumbing, Wallboard Specialties, B.A. Barnes Electric, Warren Supply and "scores" of volunteers.
