Couple frustrated over home renovations hope for Christmas miracle
Global News
A main floor shower install was meant for Jean-Guy Cayoutte, who is currently on oxygen and battling lung cancer, along with four brain tumours.
It’s a Christmas gift turned nightmare for Elaine and Jean-Guy Cayouette.
Elaine wanted to install a main floor shower for her husband so he wouldn’t have to go up and down the stairs.
He is currently on oxygen and battling lung cancer, along with four brain tumours.
“It hurts me to see him go up the stairs,” Elaine said.
Southern Prairies Contracting was brought in to install the shower and Cayouette said the company has been working on the project for over four months.
“And now I have my vanity, but I don’t have my sink and my faucet. We have to go to the kitchen to wash our hands. We have no sink in the bathroom. They took that down way too early,” Elaine said.
The couple said they have put in over $40,000 toward work around the house including the incomplete shower build.
“She’s very brave to do what she’s doing and everything. She’s over her head right now. There’s nobody to help us,” said Jean-Guy.
