Dozens of volunteer contractors renovated the home of a Las Vegas family whose 16-year-old daughter is suffering from a rare form of epilepsy that is increasingly forcing her to be wheelchair bound.
The renovation project, organized by AGC Charities, Inc., was the group's second annual Operation Opening Doors effort. Click here to learn more about the Rotta family. View additional photos of the renovation on AGC's Facebook page.
AGC member Jaynes Corportation’s Steve Brooke and Gary Congdon of Lee & Sakahara Architects very generously donated their time to help oversee the project and drafted plans to install new wheelchair accessible ramps and bathroom fixtures. Other Las Vegas contractors volunteered to complete the construction work, while dozens of construction firms from around the country donated more than $10,000 to help purchase key construction supplies, including a new accessible shower, concrete, stucco, wood and drywall.
