Ideal Steel in Action
Recently, when the company saw a struggling family’s need, Ideal Steel went into action. Needing constant 24-hour care, Mr. Leo Cormier certainly has a unique understanding of life’s trials and tribulations. (Acadiana Catholic article dated June, 2008). It is very difficult for him to be placed into a vehicle, especially when it is raining. Having no carport was a large burden on the family.
Ideal Steel donated the materials to build a commercially strong carport and Butch Bergeron donated his company to provide the installation of the project. The work is in progress and Acadiana Catholic will provide our readers with photos of the project when it is completed. Both companies show us what true compassion our corporate community has — right here in Acdaiana.
The Cormier’s would like to sincerely thank both Ideal Steel and Butch Bergeron for the wonderful donation. Mr. Leo Cormier believes, “God is at work.”.
