HVAC Business Aids Premature Babies in South Africa

Pinnacle Equipment Company, a family-owned HVAC business from Indianapolis, is making a significant impact on premature babies and their families in South Africa. The company donated funds to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Psi Tau Omega Chapter, which used the money to deliver care packages to parents at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. These packages, filled with baby essentials, hygiene items, and uplifting affirmation cards, were distributed to families in the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units. The companys founders, Andre and Shelley Jones, were inspired by their recent trip to South Africa and wanted to give back to communities in need. The hospital, one of South Africas oldest public facilities, serves thousands of low-income and high-risk families every year, providing critical care for tiny, vulnerable infants. The care packages and tree planting initiative brought comfort and strength to families facing uncertainty. Checkout Solipillow.com
