In March 2022, we are in the middle of a 75% remodel of a client’s newly purchased farm house when we get the call that their 15 year old son had been diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia MPAL (Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia) and was being admitted to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s hospital at Vanderbilt.

We want to tell our version of this story as a small part of Jake’s life and as a trusted team for “Wilson Warriors” to his family that is a part of the PWID family. We are so honored to be trusted & live out our mission to its fullest. We mean what we say when it comes to changing the way our clients live in their homes & how they live their daily lives. We hold our family close when LIFE happens. How special it is that they can reach out asking for our expertise in times when it matters the most.

Our clients asked us to focus all of our attention on creating a suite for Jake to heal & quarantine for several weeks. He had to come home in the middle of the chaotic state of construction that the rest of their house was in.

This was an “HGTV Moment” with 2 weeks to come up with a design plan, source local shops, and pull together installers to make it all happen.

We called in extra muscle!

Bryce Steyer, owner of Boulder Homes & Justin Tinker of Watson Flooring completed an on-suite bathroom remodel. We pulled together a design plan for Jake to be surrounded by his favorite things – Georgia football & Acuna Jr. with the Atlanta Braves, cards from his school friends & gifts of encouragement, rap music + his hat & shoe collection.

In May, we celebrated with Jake about news, in the “Wilson Warrior Suite” at the Nashville Sounds game, that his sister was a 100% bone marrow treatment match & helped to raise awareness for bone marrow donors.

On October 23rd, hundreds gathered at the Nashville Sounds Game to celebrate Jake’s life after he fought a hard battle with grace & determination.

We have been working the past 3 weeks helping provide our grieving client family a 2nd “HGTV moment” in conjunction with Bryce and our subs to wrap up construction for each area of their home to come back to a calm, clean space to grieve together and prep for Jake’s Celebration of life.

Again, this is our side of the story & a testament to how we truly do love what we do and the trust that was placed on our team with confidence to create a well designed space for this family was not taken lightly.
