Bend,
Ore. -- Ron joined the Bend Area Habitat
for Humanity, Deschutes County’s Juvenile Community
Justice Department and
community members in presenting Robert Redegal with
keys to his new home, built by Habitat for Humanity.
Robert helped
earn his new home by putting in a substantial amount
of hours or “sweat equity.”
“Because
you can’t stop smiling Robert, we can’t
stop smiling.”
-- Senator Ron Wyden |
Robert's home is built to accommodate
his special needs. Following an accident in 1986, doctors
told Robert that he would never walk again. Astonishingly,
he proved them all wrong and is now able to get around
and live independently.
