Home to be built for Army SPC Brendan Marrocco

Building Homes for Heroes and the Stephen Siller Foundation have announced a partnership to build a new home for 24-year old Army Specialist Brendan Marrocco of Staten Island, NY. Marrocco lost all four limbs on Easter Sunday 2009 when the vehicle he was driving in Bayji Iraq was hit by a roadside bomb. The blast tore off both of Marrocco's arms and his left leg.  His right leg was mangled beyond saving.  His carotid artery was severed, his body badly burned, and vision in his left eye was severely damaged.  At the press conference held at the Staten Island 9/11 Memorial, the partnership put forth the plan to raise a minimum of $500,000 to provide Specialist Marrocco with a home suitable to his many needs. Building Homes for Heroes and the Siller Foundation hopes to have the home completed by Christmas Day 2010. Click here for more info...
