SSgt. Forrest Perez served in the Army since he graduated the Menominee Indian High School in 2003. He had been a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, serving a year in Iraq, a year in Korea, while also aiding in the clean-up effort after Hurricane Katrina.
On September 25, 2010 Forrest was seriously hurt in a hit/run accident in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He was crossing the street on his way home when he was hit by a vehicle. The driver left Forrest for dead on the road. Another soldier provided first aid until medical help arrived. Forrest was flown out to the UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill on the Life Flight Helicopter. He sustained severe injuries including multiple bone fractures, collapsed lungs, a broken jaw, collar bone, and pelvic bone. Forrest also had severe road rash, a spinal injury and significant brain trauma. He has had multiple surgeries and was discharged from the Hospital on January 12, 2011, to his parents’ home in Keshena, WI. Forrest has to spend much of his time in his hospital bed and in his specially designed wheel chair.
Through the generosity of Heroes at Home and Rebuilding Together, we are going to build Forrest a new home! This house will be made especially for his needs as he gets on with life. We are looking for ALL skill levels to include carpenters, drywallers, masons, cement finishers, roofers, painters, general helping, and anything that involves building a house! We are also looking for sponsors for materials and home furnishings as well. Our project will start the last week of April, looking to be complete by Memorial Day.
