The community and local contractors volunteered with Art Edmonds, co-host of the TV show “Military Makeover” and about 24 people from the Lifetime home renovation show to make it more handicap-accessible for retired U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Daniel Burgess.
The show will air during a series of episodes Feb. 12 to March 26.
Burgess, his wife Genette, and their daughters Gracie and Kaylee run the charity One Leg Quilting. The couple make quilts and donates them to veterans and veterans groups.
Daniel Burgess lost his right leg during an IED explosion in Afghanistan. The blast also damaged his other leg, burned his skin, collapsed his lungs and gave him a traumatic brain injury.
