As promised, RTS will be posting short profiles of those veterans who RTS will be helping this spring, and first up is Robert.
Robert is a 67 year-old Vietnam War veteran. Robert served as a General Supply Specialist in Vietnam from August 19, 1964 to January 18, 1970. He lives with his wife, Fredda (64) in Kirkland, WA. Robert is a quadriplegic and dependent on his ventilator to live at home. Fredda provides 24-hour support for Robert, as their family is unable to afford full-time care.
RTS plans to create a safe and accessible home for Robert by installing rubberized flooring, constructing a wheelchair ramp, and building a deck in the back yard. This project will be completed on Saturday, April 24th, 2010 (Spring Rebuilding Day!) by members of the Veterans Conservation Corps.
