Today the Tunnel to Towers Foundation welcomes home U.S. Air Force veteran Senior Master Sgt. Israel Del Toro Jr. and his family into his new mortgage-free custom smart home in Peyton, CO.

On December 4, 2005, SMSgt. Del Toro Jr.’s Humvee hit an IED in Afghanistan. The blast left him with severe burns on more than 80% of his body. He lost all his fingers on his left hand and the fingers on his right hand were amputated at his knuckles. SMSgt. Del Toro Jr. was given a 15% chance of survival, but In spite of that he walked out of the hospital and became the first fully disabled airman to be permitted to re-enlist. He competed in the 2016 Invictus Games setting records and winning a gold medal in the shot put.

The technology in SMSgt. Del Toro Jr.’s home is life-changing. His home is completely accessible with automatic doors and wider hallways that allow him to freely move through the home. Every feature of his smart home including the lights, thermostat, and security system, can be controlled via an app on a smart device or via touch screens built into the home.
Thanks to your generosity, Tunnel to Towers is able to provide SMSgt. Israel Del Toro Jr. with a custom mortgage-free smart home built specifically to his needs.
