Campaign Details:

Title: Building a House with Love Campaign/ The Pam Kelly Project

Mission: Build a SMART home for a severely injured veteran in The Villages, Fl.

Reason:  In 2002, while training for deployment to Iraq,SGT Pam Kelly was injured when a sling load operation went very, very wrong and the load dropped and crushed her. She sustained injuries to the head, spine and both shoulders. She lives with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and numerous other medical issues. This brave veteran is now a quadriplegic with only limited use of her left arm. Pam has been declared 100% disabled by the Veteran's Administration. She receives disability pay, but does not receive military retirement benefits. Pam's current house and location is neither quadriplegic nor wheel chair friendly. She is a perfect fit for a SMART home in Florida's Friendliest Hometown where she can gain independence inside her living quarters and navigate her all terrain chair without assistance on the cart and multimodal pathways!
