WIMBERLEY, Texas — A wounded warrior and his family received a life-changing gift in Wimberley on Tuesday.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation presented Army Cpl. Dustin Weber with a specially designed smart home.
After losing his leg due to injuries in Afghanistan, Weber, his wife Monica and their eight daughters have been struggling in a home in Illinois that wasn't built for his needs. Now, that all changed.
The mortgage-free smart home includes wide doorways, automated features and technology that can be controlled from a smartphone.
It's one of many homes the foundation has built for injured veterans across the country.
"The way the house is built and the way that everything works, I'll be able to do everything like normal, and that's life-changing. It really is life-changing," said Weber.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation was created after 9/11 and has been providing specially adapted homes to injured veterans and first responders ever since.
