Since its inception, the Gary Sinise Foundation has been responsible for donating 79 residences that have been properly adapted for severely injured heroes.

Recently, a number of people, including retired Army Sgt. Christopher Kurtz, benefited from the assistance provided by Gary Sinise’s organization.

Two years ago, Kurtz put in an application for a house that had four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Kurtz and his family were gifted a brand new smart house in March of the previous year, and it completely revolutionized their lives.

The house was created specifically to meet all of Kurtz’s specifications.

After joining in the Army in 2009, Kurtz was deployed to the Arghandab River valley in Afghanistan in the month of June of the year that followed.

In December of that year, as he was out on foot patrol, an IED that had been detonated remotely went off right next to him. That launched him upwards of about 60 feet with its impact.

As a result of the explosion, he lost two fingers on one hand, sustained several injuries to his pelvis, and had to have both legs amputated above the knees. In addition, he was blinded for the rest of his life.

In 2013, he was forced to retire from the Army due to health reasons.

After returning home as a wounded warrior, he was met with a number of hurdles, one of which being the fact that he now had physical problems.

He also faced a number of other challenges. And they were most noticeable at the home he shared with his family, where he had spent the majority of his life.

It was because of the Gary Sinise Foundation that he was able to get a smart house, which brought about a dramatic improvement in his quality of life.

Kurtz received the keys to the apartment on the same day that he and his wife were celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary.

As if that wasn’t enough of a reason to have a party, Kurtz also got the keys on the day that he was celebrating his birthday.

“I am extremely grateful to the Gary Sinise Foundation, not only for what they do for the military community, but also for changing my life with this new home that will help restore my independence and make life easier for our family,” he said.

“I am extremely grateful to the Gary Sinise Foundation for changing my life with this new home that will help restore my independence and make life easier for our family.”

Kurtz, who utilizes a wheelchair, no longer needs to be concerned that he will be unable to reach high shelves or figure out how to efficiently navigate in a washroom that is confined in area. Both of these concerns have been eliminated.

The new house the Kurtzes are moving into was built with careful consideration given to every detail.

Mike Thirtle, the chief executive officer of the Gary Sinise Foundation, has stated that the organization assists veterans in their road to recovery.

When Gary asked us to donate these houses to veterans, he instructed us to customize them to meet the requirements of both the veterans and their families.

Gary Sinise and the work of his foundation have been of great assistance to a great many of the brave men and women who serve our country.

We would want to take this opportunity to thank the Gary Sinise Foundation for granting this Army veteran and his family the gift of a house that they can comfortably live in and refer to as their “home.”
