'I finally sleep through the night': Paralysed man wins back dignity thanks to volunteer builders
Briefly

Paul Kitterman, a man paralysed from the waist down due to a spinal abscess, had been sleeping in his dining room for three years. The charity Band of Builders organized over 25 volunteers to construct a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, giving Paul much-needed accessibility and privacy. Following his hospital stay, Paul returned to a home incompatible with his new needs. With donations from several construction suppliers, the project was completed within three weeks, allowing Paul to reclaim a sense of normalcy and comfort in his life again.
"Thanks to more than 25 volunteer tradespeople from the charity Band of Builders, Paul now has a custom-built ground-floor bedroom and bathroom - and says he finally feels like himself again."
"After being left with no accessible facilities at home, Paul had been sleeping in his dining room behind a curtain, without any access to toilet or shower, until now."
