Spreading holiday wishes of love, joy, peace and health is something that First Choice Tree Service (FCTS) in Las Vegas does not take for granted. And, there are occasions when we feel compelled to do a little extra when the opportunity arises. Early this month, First Choice Tree Service received a call from a Las Vegas resident who wanted the exterior of his home lit with Christmas lights. Normally, FCTS does not offer residential home and tree lighting, but this time, an exception was made.
The man on the phone described his situation involving his wife who had been battling breast cancer. She was due to come home from the hospital to rest and enjoy a peaceful Christmas with him and the family. Her stage four cancer had taken a toll, and she had been in the hospital for a few months. Her husband wanted to bring her home to a sanctuary that was both tranquil and uplifting.
"When I received the call and heard his story, I wanted to make this happen for him," says Diego Aguilera, of First Choice Tree Service. "Even though we only light commercial properties, I knew that Tony Valenti (FCTS owner) and the rest of us would want to offer to light the home for him and his wife."
First Choice Tree Service sent out a crew to light the perimeter of his house, as well as the landscaping that surrounded it. All the labor and material were donated.
"He was really please with his house," says Aguilera. "But more than that, we are so happy to have helped him during this difficult time. Hopefully the lights will provide some hope and peace this season.
