Nonprofit Provides Adaptive Home for Blind Veteran, Enhancing Independence
Army veteran Aaron Cornelius, who lost his sight due to an IED explosion during his service in Iraq, has been gifted an adaptive home by the nonprofit organization Homes for Our Troops. Cornelius, who has faced significant challenges since becoming blind, including the loss of his wife and raising five daughters alone, will now benefit from a home designed to accommodate his disability. The new home, located in Lithia, Florida, features a voice-activated security system and other modifications to enhance safety and independence. Homes for Our Troops, founded in 2004, has built 429 homes for severely disabled veterans and continues to expand its efforts to support post-9/11 veterans.
