Local nonprofit rebuilds two homes during Military Appreciation Month
SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – A local nonprofit is teaming up with Lockheed Martin to repair two veteran homes during Military Appreciation Month.
Local nonprofit Rebuilding Together Spartanburg has joined forces with Lockheed Martin to provide repairs and modifications for two homes on the same day.
Linda, the surviving spouse of an army veteran, had lived in her home for 25 years, and struggles to navigate the house due to a damaged hip. Her home was given a new access ramp, replaced flooring to remove tripping hazards, and repaired the washer and dryer.
Charles is an army veteran who has lived in his home along with his wife Loris for many years, and suffer from knee and leg issues that make living in their home difficult. Their home was provided an accessible ramp, walk-in shower, and the house gutters and landscaping were cleaned and updated.
The nonprofit stated that the repairs come at no cost for the home owners.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 1.2 million veterans live in poverty and are unable to afford essential home repairs or modifications.
