Request for Assistance — Home Accessibility for a Navy Veteran
I am seeking community support for a 65-year-old Navy veteran living independently in Pocatello. In January 2021 he underwent a below-knee amputation of the left leg due to bone infection. In January 2023 the same condition required amputation of the right leg.
He continues to manage daily life on his own. He currently enters his home by pulling himself up the stairs and then dragging his wheelchair after him. During a case study I completed with him this past summer, it became clear that he has been living without the basic accessibility modifications that would allow him to remain safe and independent.
I am covering a portion of the cost personally. Clean Up Repair will complete demolition and cleanup. A local plumber has volunteered his labor.
We still need funding and materials for:
A walk-in / roll-in shower
A raised, comfort-height toilet
A permanent wheelchair ramp
These changes would significantly improve his safety, dignity, and ability to remain in his home. Financial contributions, materials, or additional skilled labor are all welcome and deeply appreciated.
Thank you for considering support for a veteran in our community.
