A mother whose son was killed during the Northeast Philadelphia plane crash<\/a> was gifted a freshly painted home nearly a year after the tragedy.<\/p>\n

PAINT Philadelphia, a local veteran-owned residential painting contracting business, selected Amira Brown for the home paint project through its PAINT It Forward initiative.<\/p>\n

Brown was overwhelmed with emotion when she saw the completed project for the first time.<\/p>\n

“It’s beautiful,” she said. “I love it. It’s the best. I truly appreciate it.”<\/p>\n

Brown’s son,\u00a0Steven Dreuitt<\/a>, was driving with his girlfriend, Dominique Goods-Burke, and his son, Ramesses Dreuitt Vazquez, when the plane came crashing down.<\/p>\n

Dreuitt was killed, and Good-Burke died months later from her injuries<\/a>. Ramesses was also injured and is still recovering in the hospital from severe burns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PAINT Philadelphia Founder, Andrew Tomasetti, said it’s fulfilling to be able to see Brown smile after what she’s been through.<\/p>\n

“Seeing her reaction and how that made her feel, it also brings me joy to see just a little smile. It’s beyond words how we are all feeling right now,” he said.<\/p>\n

Brown couldn’t thank Tomasetti and his team enough for what they did. She says it meant the world to her.<\/p>\n

“To have meeting these wonderful people…have brought some sense to my life. Because it’s not easy,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A mother whose son was killed during the Northeast Philadelphia plane crash was gifted a freshly painted home…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":330481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,718,10324,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-330480","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-community","10":"tag-northeast-philadelphia","11":"tag-pa","12":"tag-pennsylvania","13":"tag-philadelphia","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115432289560310870","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
