Wounded Hero U.S. Army Sergeant First Class (Ret.) Ian Prescott Home Dedication

We were honored to welcome wounded hero U.S. Army Sergeant First Class (Ret.) Ian Prescott and his wife, Carrie, into their forever home. Not only does this home help restore Ian’s independence, but it also empowers him in all the great things that lie ahead. His home is mortgage-free, contains specially adapted technology, and is custom-made to fit his needs.

Our eyes were filled with tears, and our hearts were full of love watching Ian and Carrie speak about what this home means to them as they received the call from Gary Sinise to tell them the news.

"It was a little kind of star shock," Ian said. "We were sitting here talking to Gary Sinise, and he was talking about how awesome it was to be giving us this home. It was a lot going on, and I know I kept my composure. My wife, I don't think she made it with dry eyes, but it was an exciting day."

This marks the 86th home we’ve had the privilege to provide to our nation’s most severely wounded heroes and proudly represents the love of our donors, supporters, and grateful Americans like Gary Sinise.

We’d like to give special thanks to our amazing partners, Owens Corning, Microsoft Military Affairs, Matthew A. Pucino Memorial Foundation & DAV, for their continued support of our mission to serve our nation's heroes.
