Andrew Sconga was on deployment in Africa in 2004 when he sustained life-threatening internal injuries and had to wait days to be medically evacuated. Due to the amount of time that had lapsed before he was able to be seen by a doctor and the atrophy that occurred at that time, he was not able to have surgery. After a grueling 10 years of living with intense pain and physical therapy, which he had to drive an hour to and from almost daily. He has endured several surgeries but still lives with severe chronic pain.

The Foundation installed an in-ground therapy pool at Andrew’s home so that he can continue his therapeutic regimen without having to drive to the VA Hospital daily.
