Terry has always been good with his hands. In the 1980s and 90s, Terry traveled the world with the U.S. Air Force and National Guard working as an aircraft engine mechanic. He loves to reminisce about his time spent in Iceland, Turkey and Germany, making F15 planes “loud and fast.” Terry has enough medals and awards to fill a room. These days, he still puts his knack for fixing things to good use, working as a repair technician for Dell.

After his amputation earlier this year, Terry had difficulty getting in and out of his house. When his deep freezer motor caught fire and burned the exterior of his house, he reached out to Paraquad for help. Teaming up with The Home Depot and our other corporate partners, Paraquad built a ramp to Terry’s door and replaced the siding damaged in the fire.

In Terry’s words, the renovations are “awesome.” Now, he has a safe home to live in. He also recently received a prosthetic leg, increasing his mobility. Once he has been trained to use the prosthetic, he plans to start exercising in Paraquad’s Health and Wellness Center to build his strength and independence.
