THE STORY:
Carpet One Staff wrote -
The mission of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation is to honor the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. We also honor our military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country.
What is the Building for America’s Bravest program?
Through Building for America’s Bravest program Carpet One helps support the Foundation as it builds mortgage-free smart homes for our most catastrophically injured service members. Each home is custom designed to address the unique needs of each individual. Smart homes host a myriad of features such as automated doors and lighting, wider halls and doorways, counters and stove tops that can be raised and lowered, special showers to accommodate wheelchairs cabinets, back-up generators, and central heating and air conditioning systems that can be controlled by tablets. These homes enable our most severely injured heroes live better, more independent lives. You make a difference!
To date, 48 smart homes have been finished with 25 more underway. By supporting the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation you help provide independence to those who fought for ours.
