Any family with a wheelchair needs to understand the value of a home that makes mobility easier.
The Dumlaos are now in a position where they can experience the difference.
Jeffrey Dumlao, his wife Suzanne, and their five children were one of two families handed keys to a wheelchair-accessible duplex through Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta in Redstone earlier in November.
Redstone is a master-planned community by Qualico Communities in northeast Calgary.
A chromosome disorder left their 12-year-old daughter Autumn in need of a wheelchair.
The family has been living in a three-bedroom Radisson Heights townhome, where Jeffrey and Suzanne have needed to carry Autumn up and down stairs.
The duplex they’re moving to has a bedroom and wheelchair-accessible bathroom on a completely barrier-free main level.
