Eddie Lopez has used a wheelchair since he was 10 months old. He was the only survivor of a car crash caused by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel.
“I couldn't do anything really. I mean, if there was a fire or some type of disaster going on, I definitely would not have been able to get myself out of here safely. I literally would have to throw myself, basically,” Lopez said. “It's scary at times. I fear every day like,"What if I fall and nobody's here?"”
Volunteers of America Colorado is a nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to helping those in need. The Handyman Program focuses on safety through assessment, education and repairs.
