We are incredibly grateful to CG&S Design-Build for their exceptional work on the Season for Caring project. They built a beautiful new covered porch and wheelchair-accessible ramp for the Patina-Trujillo family, transforming their home’s entrance in a space that many thought couldn’t fit a ramp. This life-changing addition provides much-needed accessibility and a place for the family to gather. Thank you, CG&S Design-Build, for your unwavering support and dedication to the Season for Caring and our Wonders & Worries community.
