Pangea Properties Surprises Family with a Home for the Holidays
Heartwarming Story Unfolds on The Steve Harvey Show
Chicago, IL, December 21, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The Delascasas family will be home for Christmas! On the Wednesday, December 17th episode of the Steve Harvey Show, Chicago-based Pangea Properties, a private Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), gifted the family of three with a new place to call home this holiday season as part of The Steve Harvey Show’s “Home for the Holidays” segment.
Viewers were introduced to Jeanie Delascasas, a Navy veteran and mom of two, who was faced with difficult times. “As a veteran and a mom I am so used to helping others I never thought I’d be the one ending up in a shelter. I’m a fighter, I’ve always been a fighter but right now I feel like a failure,” says Jeanie. “My husband was the breadwinner and when he left the finances left. I have a full-time job in a laboratory, I am working but it is hard to save for a house making minimum wage.”
Steve Harvey then provided the Delascasas family with a surprise. “I’ve reached out to my friends at Pangea Real Estate, they want to make this Christmas for Jeanie and her kids something they’ll never forget,” says Steve Harvey.
In the spirit of the season, Pangea Properties Chief Marketing Officer Justin Cohen revealed that the company will be providing the family with a fully-furnished two bedroom townhome in nearby Park Forest with free rent and utilities for an entire year. The value of the giveaway totaled at $25,000. “We heard Jeanie’s story and wanted to not only thank her for her years of service in the Navy, but also give her family one less worry this holiday season,” says Cohen. “Many Americans can identify with her situation and the hardships she has faced. All too often a good family falls on hard times and is need of a little boost to get back on their feet.”
Pangea was founded in 2009 after the real estate collapse and is one of the largest rehabbers in the Chicago, Baltimore and Indianapolis markets. Over the past five years, Pangea has invested over $250 million into renovating nearly 10,000+ distressed units with a focus on making significant investments in the buildings and surrounding neighborhoods. “We wanted to do our part and give back to the community by spreading a little cheer this holiday season,” adds Cohen.
