Meet Chris – our third and final Christmas Floors winner.

Chris is a cub scout troop leader of one of the largest troops in Texas. He is always giving back to his community and is a positive role model to his scout troop.  In fact, when we arrived at his house to measure his two bathrooms for new tile, he was working on making plaques for his troop members.

Chris’ wife is a preschool teacher in Copperfield and also loves to “give back.”  What a deserving family!

Chris was nominated by his good friend, Jonathan, whose son is in Chris’ cubscout troop.  Jonathan wrote such a kind letter on his behalf, and we are honored to give them new floors!

Our second very deserving finalist for the Christmas Floors is Angelia.  She was nominated by Summer D. with Montgomery County United Way.  Angelia is a single mom who has adopted three of her nieces and is working very hard to provide a good life for them.  Due to a bad leak, she only has floors in half of her house and the rest is plywood.We are honored to give this gift to Angelia and her three girls.

Meet our first finalist! Melissa!

Melissa was nominated by her good friend, Ellen D., who wrote us a beautiful letter explaining why Melissa deserved some extra holiday cheer this Christmas.  Melissa is a mother of four beautiful and talented children.  She graciously and lovingly cared for her amazing husband, Dan, who was very ill for quite some time.  Dan passed away in June.

Melissa is a 12^th grade teacher at Cy-Lakes High School in Cy-Fair ISD and still devotes much time and energy to her church, Community of Faith, hosting youth group Bible studies at her home.

A few months ago, we at Flaherty’s Flooring came up with an idea.  What if we could GIVE away some new floors to a family who deserved a little extra holiday cheer this Christmas?  This idea struck a chord with us, as this is part of why we do what we do.  Through the month of October, we received numerous heartfelt letters nominating friends and loved ones and sharing a piece of their story.  As each letter came in, we knew this would be a very hard decision to make!  A selection committee was formed, and they met to read each nomination and choose our finalists.  The meeting lasted quite awhile as each nominee was so deserving!

We will be introducing the winners of our Christmas Floor giveaway right here on our blog so you can learn their stories and follow the progress of their new floors!

STAY TUNED!!
