HFOT Finishes Build for Army Vet
Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) recently began constructing a specially adapted home for Army SPC Chad Pfeifer. The community kickoff event, hosted at Deer Flat Church in Caldwell, ID, signaled the start of the build process. SPC Pfeifer, injured while serving in Iraq, faced challenges in his daily life due to his existing home's layout. The specially adapted home, incorporating over 40 major modifications for wheelchair accessibility and safety, aimed to offer him a more comfortable living environment. HFOT, a national nonprofit, relies on donations and community support for such initiatives. hfotusa.org
