Preservation SOS: Organization Rehabs Home For Springfield Man
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Oscar Collins, Sr. could only watch in amazement this morning.
"Yes sir. This is beautiful," he said.
He watched from the stree as his home of more than 30 years was being transformed.
"I think it's just awesome. It's just awesome," said Collins.
Collins is now in his 70s. He says over the past few years, he hasn't been able to take care of his Springfield home like he wanted to.
"Had open heart surgery and you know age catches up with you with open heart surgery," he said.
He also takes care of his 33-year-old son, Oscar Jr., who's handicapped. After a nomination, Preservation SOS stepped in.
"We decided to make it happen, if you will, by going out there and helping people who need help," said SOS President Nicole Lopez.
