Young boy with rare skin condition gets accessible new home

John Hudson Dilgen needed a home where he could be comfortable and escape the pain of his condition. We were there for the emotional reveal.Since he was born, John Hudson Dilgen struggled with the rare disease on a daily basis and turned to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to help install a tub in his kitchen. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation did a lot more than a kitchen! John Hudson now has a new home that is completely accessible and will change his life.

He struggles with the rare disease on a daily basis and turned to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to help install a tub in his kitchen.
