鈥淢y son and I were so blessed to be one of the winners in 2017, and I cannot describe how thankful we are,鈥� recalls the Dutchak family. 鈥淭o be honest, it still hasn鈥檛 completely sunk in 鈥� it鈥檚 still surreal to see our new windows and live much more comfortably. Being a single mother and having my son delay his education to invest in this home, the blessing of having our windows done by Centra literally changes our lives. Our Hydro bills have gone down, it feels so nice in our home, there is no cold draft that we had to deal with, and it鈥檚 just awesome. You changed our lives for the better and provided a better path for my son and his future.鈥�
