PBYR Assists a Deployed Service Member with a Move to a new Home
PBYR Assists a Deployed Service Member with a Move to a new Home
In September, 2017 a service member from Plymouth was deployed right before the family’s scheduled move to a new home. PBYR was contacted and paid for support from a local moving company to assist the service member’s wife and 2 young children with the move. All went well and we wish them health and happiness in their new home!!
