About this Heroes at Home Project

Rebuilding Together with funding support from Sears’ Heroes at Home program will work with the Hyde Park Community to repair and modify the home of PFC Andrew Parker. Parker, 21, who joined the Army after graduating from high school in 2007, was wounded in a road side bomb attack while serving in Afghanistan. Parker, now a quadriplegic, is paralyzed from the chest down. He can move his arms, and wiggle some of his fingers, however, lacks the strength to grab or grip things. Parker is recovering at a Veterans Affairs hospital and is unable to return home until the space has been modified to fit his needs.
The community of Hyde Park, Vermont has rallied around Andrew Parker and the needs of his family. Community volunteers had been working diligently to raise money for the “Andrew Parker Fund” for all of Andrew’s needs and will be working with Rebuilding Together Greater Burlington to complete the demolition and reconstruction of Parker’s current garage and construct a new accessible living area for him. In addition, they will help provide accessibility modifications to the existing family home, so Parker can move throughout the entire space.

Do you know someone who could be helped by Heroes at Home?
