Disabled Mother and Army Veteran Needs Accessible Bathroom
Jan 24, 2022 Francesca DiPaola
While stationed in South Korea, Patrice's battalion was poisoned and many of her fellow soldiers became critically ill or died. As a result of her time in the Army, Patrice suffers from PTSD, back and nerve damage, a rotated pelvis, cervicitis of the knees, cervicalgia and chronic migraines. "I felt honored to be able to serve in the Army until I had to admit that I was disabled. Now I am reminded everyday of the sacrifices I made for my country when I attempt to take care of my personal hygiene, drive or sleep."
Iraq Veteran, Struck By AT-Mine, Suffering from TBI, Needs Accessible Bathroom
Jan 14, 2022 Francesca DiPaola
Douglas writes, "I decided to take point behind our gun truck. I also had a bad vibe and chose not to load my truck with rockets. On our route, my truck hit an anti-tank mine (AT-Mine) that blew-up underneath my seat. It flung the door open and ejected me 30 feet in the air. I landed on [my] head-back. Not having a seatbelt on saved my life."

FREEDOM FOR CHRISTMAS! Accessible Bathroom for Vietnam War Veteran and Amputee
Jan 07, 2022 Francesca DiPaola
“Being able to have a wheelchair accessible bathroom in our home would help me and my family more than I can explain. I have two grandchildren that live with me so being able to have a bathroom [and] privacy instead of using a commode next to my hospital bed would be such a blessing. I could still be independent and would not need help to do everyday activities such as using the bathroom, showering and brushing my teeth. Having a barrier-free and wheelchair accessible home is all I can ask for”
