Restoring Independence: Helping One of NJ's Last Korean War Veterans

Restoring Independence: Helping One of NJ's Last Korean War Veterans

Meet Edward, a courageous veteran from New Jersey and one of the last remaining heroes who served in the Korean War. Despite his remarkable service, Edward now faces various health challenges, including swollen legs, chronic pain, and poor circulation. Compounding his difficulties, his current small and cramped shower poses a significant risk to his safety and independence. Recognizing the urgency of supporting veterans like Edward, our organization is dedicated to restoring his independence and ensuring his well-being.

Edward's Struggle:
Edward's health challenges have made even the simplest tasks, such as showering, increasingly difficult. His current shower stall is inadequate and puts him at risk of falls, exacerbating his physical and emotional burdens. While his devoted daughter assists him, it is crucial to provide a safe and accessible bathing space that promotes his independence.
