HOME BUILDERS FOUNDATION OF METRO DENVER INSTALLS A LIFT FOR A 12-YEAR-OLD BOULDER RESIDENT

BOULDER, COLO. – August 24^th,  2015 – A two-part accessible home modification project was completed by the Home Builders Foundation (HBF) today for 12-year-old Boulder Resident, Kyla Bursiek. The retail value of this project was over $17,500, but thanks to all involved, all work was done at no cost to Kyla or her family. And, the project wrapped up on Kyla's 12th birthday.

The Bursieks initially contacted the

 HBF for assistance to modify their bathroom so Kyla, who has cerebral palsy and uses a walker to get around, could bathe and brush her teeth independently. The HBF completed the barrier-free bathroom modifications at no cost to the family, approximately a $7,500 value at the end of 2014. However, the family was still in need of a vertical platform lift to enable Kyla to enter and exit her home independently.

Due to the high cost of a vertical platform lift, the HBF spearheaded a fundraising drive to cover the costs of this portion of the project.  Over the course of 10 days in April, the (HBF) raised over $10,000 from generous individuals to purchase and install a vertical platform lift Kyla.

“Granting her these liberties (to enter and exit the home and use the bathroom independently) are a dream come true.” Paul Bursiek, Kyla’s father.
