Allow me to introduce a Wake County

school here in Wake County. He , his wife,
and mentally handicapped son live in a home
built in 1946 and it’s desperately in need of
some repairs.

Rain turns this into a deep puddle
and muddy. The path to my van is
difficult and very painful to my
back.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Roof is brittle and leaks to
the point of internal water
damage and possible
electrical dangers.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Rear door unsafe because walking
presents the risk of falling, on
stairs and the concrete patio,
which is cracked and uneven. My
chair will not acess the patio but
at speed which is very painful and
bad for the chair.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
I spend most of my time in
my shop and it has no
protection for my chair and
cannot be entered with my
wheelchair.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
The power cables are ratty
and the service is only 60
amp. Outlets are mostly 2
prong and several have
burned out. Repairs are
touchy due to brittle
insulation inside metal
shielding.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Leaks have damaged the ceilings
in both the Pantry and Living
Room.In the Pantry rain water
has fallen on the water heater
and filled these light bulbs.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Ceiling is falling
and I do not know
what the leak has
done to the wiring
in the wall.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Ceiling tile damage
is over full width of
house and some
tiles are coming
loose.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
House is settling and
walls are cracking and
rear door no longer fits
in frame. The damage is
through the hardwood
floors and runs across
the whole house.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
This the only HVAC,
heat is accomplished by
use of space heaters
which cooks the internal
wiring even though it is
not grounded.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
The front room is as
far as my chair can
go within the house.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
House settling has all but made
the rear door unable to be closed
is also splitting the door.
Front door is
falling apart
and so narrow
that the chair
has caused
damage.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
There are several
incidents of exposed
wiring as well as
fixtures of unknown
intent. The turn to use
this bathroom is
impossible for my
wheelchair.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
The main bathroom
remains risky and difficult
to use and unfinished after
another group came and
repaired the floor.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
This shower cannot be used because
the tile leaks through to the crawl
space yet the water still flows in
when the washing machine empties.
All the houses drains constantly slow
and while the pressure is very low,
the pipes are constantly developing
leaks both on the high pressure lines
and drains.
One hot water leak
ran for a month
before discovery and
created a mold
problem still
unresolved.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Kitchen is completely
inaccessible, too small and
narrow, for my chair. Door
is too narrow and the floor
is uneven.
Carolina Veterans Support Group, Inc.
Fan fixture is loose and
unsafe in dressing room
which cannot be accessed
by wheelchair.
