Goal
Darren Appleman is a mature and responsible forty-six year old man who was dealt an astonishingly difficult hand in life. At the age of five, he was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a disease characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness.
Rather than being discouraged by this, he chose to overcome many obstacles, and in 1988 he was the 1st person ever to graduate from Pickerington High School in a wheelchair. Darren's apartment is very limiting with regards to his wheelchair. He is unable to move around in the kitchen, and cannot enter the bathroom at all. He has a private porch behind the apartment, but isn’t able to use that exit. So he spends most of his time confined to two rooms.
Habitat for Humanity of Fairfield County, Ohio is helping Darren realize his dream of home ownership - But we need YOUR help! Please consider making a generous, tax deductible donation to help fund the construction of an ADA-friendly home for Darren.
