In 2010, Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors (JAH4WW) was able to raise enough money to remodel its first home, that of Army Sergeant Wes Cureton, who was critically injured while defending our country in Afghanistan.
The home where he lived with his wife and two small children was no longer suitable for his needs due to his injuries. JAH4WW assessed and completed the necessary home modifications, making it 100% accessible. This remodel included an indoor/outdoor patio room for SGT Cureton to enjoy the outdoors, a safe driveway and entryway free of curbs and steps, and an exterior fence for his property.
Please take a moment to honor SGT Cureton’s service and sacrifice by signing his guest book and leaving a message of support below. Consider donating today to help JAH4WW continue its mission of supporting combat-wounded Veterans. Your generosity makes a difference.
