Trimlight Phoenix donates Christmas Lights
to a Retired Teacher
When we think about the magic of the holiday season, it’s not just the twinkling lights or festive carols that make it special—it’s the moments of genuine kindness and connection that warm our hearts. This year, Trimlight Phoenix brought that spirit of giving to life in a way that left an unforgettable impact on a devoted member of our community.
What started as a conversation about permanently installed Christmas lights turned into an inspiring story of compassion, gratitude, and the power of giving back. Here’s how Jack at Trimlight Phoenix brought light—literally and figuratively—into the life of a retired special education teacher, Kim.

The Gift of Light for a Lifelong Giver
Kim dedicated her entire life to teaching children with special needs, guiding them toward their personal best and helping them overcome challenges, one step at a time. After years of service, she retired and moved to Phoenix with her husband to enjoy their golden years. However, life had a different plan. Her husband was diagnosed with dementia, and now Kim selflessly channels her energy into caring for him, embodying the same compassion she showed her students.
Two personal journeys colide
A few weeks ago, Kim reached out to Trimlight Phoenix to inquire about permanent holiday lights for her home. Jack, the owner, worked closely with her to design a package. But when it came down to making the purchase, Kim and her husband decided to put it on hold until the next year.
What Kim didn’t know was how deeply her story would resonate with Jack. Having a son in special education himself and knowing the hard work of teachers like Kim, Jack couldn’t shake the thought of the years Kim spent giving so much of herself—both to the students she taught and now to her husband.
“She has spent her life giving, giving, giving,” Jack reflected. “This time, I wanted to give back.”
An Unforgettable Surprise Installation
On the morning of December 4th, Jack and his team at Trimlight Phoenix showed up at Kim’s home with a surprise that would light up her holidays in more ways than one. When Kim answered the door, Jack shared the news that they would be installing her dream lighting package—for free.
Kim was stunned. Overwhelmed with emotion, she broke down into tears, endlessly thanking Jack and his team for their generosity. Her reaction deeply moved everyone involved. Later that day, Kim texted Jack saying, “You changed me today… I learned it’s okay to accept kindness from others,” adding that receiving gifts had always been a struggle for her.
The Joy of giving during the holiday season
The holiday season reminds us to look beyond ourselves and spread kindness, just as Jack and the Trimlight Phoenix team demonstrated. Acts of generosity don’t just brighten homes; they brighten lives, creating a ripple effect of gratitude and inspiration.
For Jack, this charitable giveaway wasn’t just about giving Kim the gift of light—it was about showing appreciation for everything she represents. For Kim, it was a moment to feel seen, supported, and celebrated for her lifetime of selfless dedication.
