FORK UNION, Va. (WVIR) - Michael and Son Services was able to return running water to Barbara Hill’s house, free of charge as part of the company’s Helping Hands program.
The project, which also received help from VAMAC Plumbing, would’ve cost Hill thousands of dollars.
“When we notice we have a neighbor in need we’ll take out whatever stops we have to to get the job done,” Plumbing Service Manager Tommy Farrer said.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. - She may be 101 years old, but Mary Parker has no plans of slowing down. I got my wheelchair. I do my own cooking, my own washing and taking care of my tabby cat, she told News 3.
Parker has an upbeat and go-getter personality despite facing some pretty big life challenges. When she was in her 90s she said she suffered a leg injury. Overtime she lost circulation in her both of her legs and ultimately needed to have them amputated.
Misfortune once again knocked on her door a few weeks back when her water heater broke.
