Woodbridge, Va. –– An anonymous donor wants to help a Woodbridge family add an addition to their home that will benefit thier wounded warrior.
Joshua Himan, a Marine who was paralyzed from the chest down when the vehicle he was riding in hit an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2009, needs a place to stay when he is released from Walter Reed Army Medical Center. A more accessible bathroom, wider hallways and doorways and a master suite for Himan would make it easier for his mother, Patricia, who quit her job to care for her son -once he’s home.
The anonymous donor has offered to match all donations up to $15,000 through January 31.
“This generous offer comes as we are trying to secure the last $40,000 to complete the Himan family project,’ said Jacob Koch, President of the NoVA Fuller Center. “Fifteen thousand will turn into $30,000 on the spot, which is the bulk of what we need.” Read More
