The Smile4Riley Committee along with Wish Upon a Hero has undertaken the task to have Riley's house repaired for him.
Riley’s House – Riley and his family live in a small approximately 700 square foot home. This home is not conducive to Riley’s now let alone pose post transplant. Riley receives his therapy in his very small living room but eventually will need more space as he grows and he will also need a space to learn because in reality Riley will most likely never be able to attend regular school because of the germ factor. Riley’s Mommy & Daddy will never be able to do the modifications needed to Riley’s house due to the financial strain of having such an ill child. Riley’s Mommy is his fulltime caretaker so she no longer works her fulltime job. Riley’s Daddy works usually 7 days a week to keep the family afloat there is no extra money for home modifications and they can not risk the financial insecurity of attempting to purchase a bigger home. Riley’s new house will be more energy efficient for Mommy & Daddy, it will have a therapy/class room for Riley, and it will have a bedroom that Riley can call his very own. It will have the square footage necessary to enable Riley and his family to live a somewhat normal life with a child that will spend most of his days in his home.
Wish Upon a Hero is one of the biggest assets to Team Smile4Riley, they have assisted us in setting up a Charity Builder site. The Smile4Riley House Charity Builder site can take tax deductible donations via credit. In addition, we are now able to offer tax deductions for none monetary donations thanks to our friends at Wish Upon a Hero. “Everyone has a wish, anyone can be a Hero” Dave Girgenti and Ryan Rendfrey are most definitely Riley Hero’s.
We are always looking for more members of Team Smile4Riley to help us to raise funds and get Riley's house built.
If you want to help us raise funds we want to hear from you, if you just want to donate go to our donation page.
In the spring we will need volunteers to help us actually rebuild the house, contractors, plumbers, HVAC, windows/door hangers, roofers, floor installers, installation installers, landscapers if you are an expert we are looking for you. If you are not expert but can swing a hammer etc we can find a job for you as well.
Be sure to go to the contact us page and send Aunt Chris an email letting her know you want to join Team Smile4Riley.
