Veterans sacrifice so much for freedom and many of them come back badly wounded. Sometimes wounded warriors spend years in hospitals rehabilitating.
A nonprofit recognizes this problem and is providing homes to these soldiers. Friday, life for a soldier and his family got a little easier. They were handed keys to their new mortgage free home.
The Hollimon family knew when they pulled up they had the home. What they didn’t know was contractors have been working for weeks renovating it.
Staff Sgt. Dennis Hollimon, his wife and two children are blown away by their new Newnan home which was made possible by Building Homes for Heroes, a nonprofit organization that provides mortgage free homes to our wounded vets.
“It’s guys like you that help us come home and be able to relax from the everyday issues that are a part of this world, so I just want to say thank you,” the Purple Heart recipient said.
The past few years haven’t been easy on the family. When the children were just four and six their father, who was fighting the war in Afghanistan, was badly injured when his unit was ambushed. Staff Sgt. Hollimon took a direct hit. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and lost an arm.
