Iraq veteran SGT Tu’ufuli can move freely and comfortably throughout his custom one-level home, thanks to Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors with the help of Andersen.
SGT Tu’ufuli was catastrophically injured while on active duty in Iraq in 2005 when his unit was hit with an IED. He underwent several surgeries, including the amputation of his left leg. Since returning from Iraq, SGT Tu’ufuli and his family have lived in a two-story home not designed for someone with SGT Tu’ufuli’s injuries, making daily life a challenge. Now, SGT Tu’ufuli can move freely and comfortably throughout his custom one-level home, bringing newfound peace and comfort to him and his family.
Founded in 2009 by retired Minnesota Vikings football defensive end Jared Allen, JAH4WW builds injury-specific, accessible, and mortgage-free homes for critically injured veterans who have returned home from Iraq and Afghanistan. Andersen is proud to support JAH4WW through product donation, donating windows and doors for nearly all of the homes built by JAH4WW.
SGT Tu’ufuli’s home features Andersen® 100 Series windows and a large MultiGlide™ door, with a flush sill. This design enables easy transitions from indoor to outdoor living. Zero threshold clearances offer freedom to move between spaces with minimal hinderance making entrances that are designed to open doors for everyone.*
