Make-A-Wish - Isaiah Shorter Project
As special “Wish kid,” 15-year old Isaiah Shorter, from Columbia, PA had been through so much in the few years since his brain cancer diagnosis. He comes from a wonderful family of 8 and loves spending time with them and his friends, which brought him to his wish … a new “man cave.”
Isaiah wanted a place where he could get away from it all and play video games, watch tv, hangout with family and friends and just enjoy being a teenager. He wanted his man cave to be elevated on stilts, an idea he found on the show Treehouse Masters.
Ames enlisted the help of many of their sub-contractors and vendors alike to help make this wish become a reality. We were overwhelmed by their response and are so grateful for everyone’s help! We couldn’t have done this on our own.
Thank you to our partners/suppliers:
Eby Exteriors Inc., Beacon Roofing Supply- Harrisburg, Wolf Home Products, Musselman Lumber, Techno Metal Post of South Central PA LLC, MVE Group

As a property manager of more than 25 buildings, I have found the staff at Ames to be very knowledgeable, professional, detail-oriented, dependable, and well-versed in all aspects of the heating and cooling industry. I can count on them when we have emergency repair calls. I plan on using them for all our future HVAC construction and service needs.
