In addition to supporting JD’s highly specialized rehab treatments, an equally important focus is to create an independent living environment for JD. He needs a home that will accommodate his electric wheelchair and give him and Caitriona Daly, his devoted companion of seven years, a sense of normalcy and comfort as they navigate this new way of life.

JD’s story has inspired the support of family friend and general contractor Jim O’Neil. Jim has graciously offered up his team to renovate a one-story home in Danvers, MA, that Caitriona’s parents have purchased and offered to rent to the couple. Jim hopes to coordinate in-kind donations such as services, time and materials from sub-contractors and suppliers in the area as well.

Work planned includes a complete bathroom, kitchen and laundry room remodel. The team hopes to raise money for cabinets, flooring, appliances, lighting, HVAC, countertops, plumbing fixtures as well as a new patio and fire pit in the backyard. Any funds raised above and beyond the renovation goal will support JD’s rehabilitation.

We urgently need your help to cover the considerable costs of renovating JD’s new home!

FUNDRAISING GOAL: $100,000

To make an in-kind donation of products or services, please contact Jim O’Neil at [email protected] or 978-768-0029.
