Confirmed mission: The Tunnel to Towers Foundation will donate a mortgage-free Smart Home to catastrophically injured US Army veteran SPC Maggie Mae Bilyeu. The PGR has been invited to participate.
In early 2016, only a couple of months into her deployment to Afghanistan, Maggie was struck by a suicide bomber, leaving her critically injured, and killing two American soldiers and two American contractors. Maggie is an amputee and sustained multiple shrapnel wounds to her chest and torso, a broken leg, and numerous internal injuries as a result of the blast.
