Retired U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Jimmy King and his family will stay in the Houston area...
Retired U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Jimmy King and his family receive a surprise welcome home celebration at their new apartment in Cypress on Friday, Oct. 7, 2022.After a long trek from Ohio, retired U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Jimmy King settled into a new home in Cy-Fair with his family, not only giving them a fresh place to stay with brand new furniture but also giving them a stress-free in-between while they wait for their new home in North Carolina to be built.
Rooms To Go provided the furniture while Camden Cypress Creek donated the first-floor apartment itself, which was essential due to King walking with mobility aids after the loss of his leg. The Kings moved from Ohio to Texas and are staying in the donated Camden home until their new specially adapted house in North Carolina has finished construction.
Less than a year later, the family moved into the Cypress apartment as their new house is being built in North Carolina. Construction of the house was delayed by COVID-19 based supply chain issues but is projected to be complete in July 2023. King said the new home in Cypress, specifically the furniture, helped make the hectic period less stressful overall. The location was chosen as the family’s interim home because there are several other Helping A Hero families living nearby.
