A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis leads to the need for wheelchair accessible features for a Madison area cooking fanatic. "Hammer with a Heart" comes through with the help from Bella Domicile and others.

Project Home started "Hammer with a Heart" 11 years ago and was able to help 8 families this year with home repairs. Bella Domicile was happy to donate the kitchen cabinetry for the home owned by Zanne Gray.

Zanne, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, is only able to move about with a wheelchair. Her home was not wheelchair accessible, which made even cooking a hard task. Because cooking was such a big part of Zanne's life before the diagnosis, we wanted to get her into a kitchen she could use. We worked with one of our manufacturers, Cardell Cabinetry, to donate handicap access cabinets for the whole kitchen. This included a custom cabinet and raised dishwasher for easier access.

For individual who find themselves facing difficult health crisis or a tough financial situation, their home is often the last thing they can think about. "Hammer with a Heart" by Project Home fills this void for area families. Bella Domicile is honored to be a part of it.

We hope to post before and after photos soon.
