Levi Groundbreaking on Long Island |
On Saturday August 23, 2008, approximately 100 volunteers, many from the fire department of Holbrook, Long Island, participated in a groundbreaking ceremony and then put on their gloves and helmets, took out their hammers and crowbars, and proceeded to gut the home of injured Army Corporal Christopher Levi. This event marked the beginning of a renovation that will make Levi’s home handicap accessible upon his return.
The Holbrook Fire Department, Suffolk County Court Officers Association, U.S. Army’s 69th Infantry Regiment, Suffolk County Police Department and many other members of the community volunteered to begin renovating the home. Andy Pujol and Andrew McClure of Building Homes for Heroes, which donated $50,000 to assist Corporal Levi, were both on hand at the ceremony. The project, which will cost approximately $100,000, is expected to be completed before Christmas.

Help assist Long Island’s Christopher Levi |
|
On March 17, 2008, US Army Ranger Christopher Levi, a Holbrook, Long Island
resident, was severely injured when his Hume was hit by an improvised exploding device in Iraq. Christopher suffered critical injuries, including the loss of both
of his legs. He is also in danger of losing his right arm. Christopher will be hospitalized
for at least 18 months. Levi's family and friends are now seeking assistance
to help defray the costs of renovating Levi's home - an estimated $100,000
job - so that it is handicap accessible upon his return. The goal is to raise enough
funds to cover the costs of all of the building materials and to receive donations
in the form of labor so that upon Christopher's return, he can be both physically
and emotionally comfortable having the full support of both family and friends. |
