Team Depot Day SUCCESS!! 💪🏼 We teamed up with #TeamDepot to beautify Scott’s home. Scott is a disabled Vietnam Era veteran struggling with severe PTSD and MST. He was touched by the compassion of our volunteers for taking the time to help him and care for his home. 🪴 We’re thankful to each of you who mowed, planted, shoveled, swept and sweat for our veteran hero! 👷 Thank you to the The Home Depot Foundation for providing the gardening materials and materials for Scott's accessible bathroom.  🫡 Special thanks to Chuck Segel, Marine Veteran and Team Depot member, for facilitating this day and supporting our mission to help disabled veterans live safely in their own homes. #TeamDepotDay #CommunityImpact #MilitaryAppriciationMonth Tim | Gavin | Francesca | Dave | The Home Depot | Erin | The Home Depot

🇺🇸 Guy is a disabled veteran from NJ who served on an aircraft carrier during the Vietnam War. Since his service, he has battled Multiple Sclerosis, leaving him unable to walk and reliant on a wheelchair. ♿️ Guy's home lacks an accessible bathroom, therefore he has not had a proper, warm shower in years. 🔵 Help us give Guy the barrier-free life he deserves #HomesforVeterans #BarrierFreeLiving https://lnkd.in/edbRt--d

🎖️John grew up in a mobile home in Florida. He joined the military in 1997 and was deployed overseas. When he returned, he began working as a hazardous materials truck driver. One day, his truck malfunctioned, causing a near fatal accident. 🪖 As a result, John is now permanently paralyzed. Because John's paralysis is not combat related, he has been denied housing adaptation grants from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. ♿️ His current bathroom is extremely unsafe and he recently fell backwards trying to transfer from his shower back into his wheelchair. 🇺🇸 We believe John should NOT need to sacrifice his safety and independence any further. Together we can provide John with the barrier-free life he deserves. If you'd like to help us create a safe and barrier-free home for John, please consider making a donation. ♥️ DONATE HERE: https://lnkd.in/gAGGb7Au 🎥 Video shot by Gavin Elwes | Edited by Leslie @TheBestLittlePostHouseNYC https://lnkd.in/gHn2HjET
