Making a difference, one life at a time
The past few months have been busy for the H4H team, as we have taken on and completed several projects throughout our service area. Here are just a few of the highlights:
-
Just this week, we took care of the purchase and installation of a wheelchair ramp for a Navy veteran in Hingham, allo
wing him self-sufficient access to the outdoors.
- This spring, we had the great pleasure of assisting a WWII Navy veteran from Weymouth with repairs to his deteriorated front stairs. It was a privilege to hear his stories of the action he saw in Iwo Jima and the Asia Pacific, and we were delighted to provide him with a beautiful set of newly-built replacement stairs.
- In early May, we completed our full home remodel project for a Wareham veteran and are grateful to the many subcontractors and vendors from throughout the community who gave their time and talent to this lengthy project!

Essay Contest for Action TrackChair
June 4 - June 22, 2015 
Our team at Heidrea for Heroes is offering a deserving veteran the chance to win a free Action TrackChair, valued at over $10,000, through an essay contest.
The Action TrackChair is an all-terrain wheelchair, ideal for the veteran who likes to get to places which might otherwise be difficult to access - such as for hunting, fishing, going out to the beach, or just enjoying time in the forest.
We aim to award this valuable resource to a wheelchair-dependent veteran living on the South Shore, South Coast, Cape Cod, or Metrowest area who is an outdoor recreation enthusiast and can benefit tremendously from an Action TrackChair.
