Opportunity to help remodel/adapt a Wounded Warrior’s home in Holbrook, NY 11741

I attached the Newsday article that reported on 25 year old US Army Cpl. Christopher Levi return to his Holbrook, NY home after sustaining severe, permanent, life changing injuries in Iraq.  The Holbrook Fire Department, family/friends have an address for people to send cards, assistance/or offer services to help adapt US Army Cpl. Christopher Levi’s parent’s home to facilitate his comfort, range of movement, increasing independence….

Here is the address:  Donate: Christopher Levi, c/o Holbrook Fire Department, 390 Terry Blvd., Holbrook, NY 11741
