MIAMI, FL, Feb. 26, 2014--The
Taylor & Mathis South Florida team (above) put their award winning property
management skills to good use last week. Fifty employees volunteered two days
of man hours and expertise at Kristi House, Inc., a private, non-profit organization in Miami, Florida dedicated to
healing and eradicating child sexual abuse.
Kristi House operates the Orlowitz-Lee
Children’s Advocacy Center responsible for
sexual abuse cases in all of Miami-Dade County, population 2.6 million. The team did everything from painting to
landscaping to repairs.

“With companies like Taylor
& Mathis teaming up with us for a service project, we are able to tackle
projects which are greatly important to the integrity of the building – yet
come at a great financial burden. Volunteers give us the opportunity to keep
more dollars for therapy – rather than deferring money for needed upkeep.” -- Mary Faraldo, Community Relations Officer Kristi House.
“We feel so blessed to lend our time to such a worthwhile
organization,” stated T&M Director of Operations Marlene Diaz. “We have
an incredible team of employees whose devotion to giving back to their
community warms my heart.”
Kristi House is located on the University of Miami/Jackson
Memorial Hospital campus at 1265 NW 12 Ave. Its south facility is
located on U.S. 1 and 152nd and its north facility is located at 18441 NW and
2nd Avenue.
Founded in 1996, Kristi
House has served more than 10,000 victims of child sexual abuse and their
families.
