    Sgt. Petrone Project in Conn.

    Police Sergeant, Roger Petrone has been battling ALS  (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) since 2007.  With the degenerative effects of ALS, Roger requires assistance when transferring from the bed or a chair and depends on others for most or all personal hygiene tasks.  Using the cramped bathroom in his old house became extremely dangerous for both Roger and his support caregivers.  Volunteer Architect, Andrew Robinson, AIA designed a new bathroom that is both safe and accessible.               Many volunteers and the generous donations of materials made this project possible, including  the combined support from Greenwich Police Dept. colleagues, local Greenwich businesses and contractors, and Compassionate Care ALS. 

    Our Designs Change Lives

    Does your house have barriers like hazardous steps at the front entry, narrow doors, tight hallways and small dangerous bathrooms?

    Do you need to install a ramp or remodel your bathroom or kitchen to make your home accessible and safe?

    If you answered yes to these questions, HomeFreeHome may be able to help. We are a group of volunteer architects who design barrier-free home renovations that allow people to live with greater safety, dignity and freedom.  We connect people with disabilities to local volunteer architects to create designs for small scale construction projects such as: ramps, accessible bathrooms and kitchens.
    HomeFreeHome is an all-volunteer organization. To receive help, fill out the application form  or call us
