My Wife Has to Carry Me Upstairs: Nonprofits Team Up to Transform Veteran’s Home

Earth Saving Solutions | Denver, CO – This powerful local news feature tells the story of Tyler Wilson, an Army veteran paralyzed after being shot four times in Afghanistan, and his firefighter wife Crystal, who literally carries him on her back whenever he needs to access their home’s second floor. After purchasing what they hoped would be their “forever home” in Arvada, the family faced significant accessibility challenges that made daily life difficult and unsustainable.

Watch as Jason Grenauer from Denver 7 reveals how the VA, Homes for Veterans, and local veterans’ organizations have come together to fund a complete home renovation, including a roll-under kitchen sink, accessible bathroom with roll-in shower, raised living room, and most importantly—an elevator that will finally give Tyler independence and relieve Crystal of the physical burden of carrying him upstairs.

This moving story highlights the sacrifices of military families and the life-changing impact that thoughtful home modifications can have for wounded veterans.
