A tireless builder and philanthropist: How Mike Holmes helps those in need

Mike Holmes’s name thunders far beyond the borders of his native Canada. This extraordinary man became a real superstar on television thanks to his passion for construction, ability to solve complex problems and uncompromising pursuit of quality. But few people know that behind his bright screen career, Mike leads another, no less impressive activity – an active charity.
Holmes firmly believes that affordable and safe housing is an inalienable right of every human being. That is why he devotes most of his income and personal time to helping low-income families and victims of natural disasters. Through his Holmes Foundation, he regularly finances the repair and reconstruction of houses for those who are unable to carry out the necessary work on their own.
At the same time, Mike always insists on the highest quality of each project. He personally oversees that everything is done conscientiously, without saving on materials or workers’ qualifications. After all, it is important for Holmes not just to provide shelter, but to create a truly comfortable, safe and durable home.
