Congrats Edward Andrews, our 2024 Shower for a Soldier Recipient!
New York Sash is proud to announce the recipient of the 2024 Shower for a Soldier Bath Makeover Giveaway. United States Army Veteran Edward Andrews from Hubbardsville was selected as this year’s recipient and received a bathroom makeover, free of charge from New York Sash.
Let’s meet Edward and take a look at the completed bath transformation.
Edward Andrews Military Service:
Army Veteran Edward Andrews served in the United States Army for 21 years. 15 of those years were active duty where Edward served on the front lines in Iraq, Bosnia and Kosovo.
During his years of service, Edward suffered multiple injuries from IED’s & gunfire, resulting in lasting physical and mental injuries such as PTSD, traumatic brain injury, knee, back and neck injuries.
These injuries have caused Edward to have difficulty stepping over the tub wall when getting in and out of the shower. It was for this reason that his wife, Faith nominated him for the Shower for a Soldier Bath Makeover Giveaway from New York Sash.
Started in 2020, the goal of Shower for a Soldier is to improve the life of a local Veteran experiencing hardships that hinder everyday tasks such as bathing. We are proud to announce Edward as our 2024 Shower for a Soldier recipient.
“He needs a bath makeover because we have a high sided tub that is quite frankly falling apart. He’d like a walk in shower instead as it would be easier on his knees and back. He wants to fix it himself but he always does too much and winds up hurting worse. I think he deserves something to make his life at least a little easier.”
The Bathroom Transformation:
Edward had an older, high sided tub that had become difficult for him to step over when needing to use the shower. A new walk in shower would eliminate those barriers and safety concerns and that is what Edward selected to have installed in his home! Alongside our partners at Bath Planet, we were able to make Edward’s wish come true! We installed a white shower base with an acrylic wall surround in the pattern linen complete with a subway tile pattern. To complete the project we installed a bench seat for added accessibility, grab bars, shower caddies and complementing brushed nickel fixtures.
At New York Sash, it is our goal to serve our community and give back when we can. Our Shower for a Soldier Bath Makeover Giveaway is our way of enhancing the life of a local Veteran, someone who has already given so much for our country. We are proud to be able to offer this year’s award to Edward & his family and look forward to continuing this program again next year!
