Bones Helping Wounded Air Force Vet

0

United States Air Force Captain Nathan Nelson, who was paralyzed from the chest down during his third tour in Afghanistan, is in need of a home to accommodate his needs.  Enter Bobby Bones. Bones and his on-air crew announced they would donate proceeds from the sale of camouflage #PimpinJoy T-shirts on TheShopForward.com. In just a few days, listeners of The Bobby Bones Show purchased enough T-shirts to raise $100,000, doubling the original goal of $50,000. Building Homes for Heroes will build a new ADA-certified custom home for Captain Nelson, his wife Jennifer, and three-year-old daughter Eva, in Miramar Beach, Fla. With the extra money raised, The Bobby Bones Show will also send Captain Nelson and his family on an all-expense-paid trip to Disney World.

“Our listeners have shown us again just how big their hearts are,” said Bones. “It’s always amazing to see them in action when we put a great cause in front of them, and it’s our honor to help a true American hero. We had a goal of $50,000. Thanks to our listeners we doubled that and are able to do even more for this family than we could’ve imagined.”

We salute you, Bobby Bones.
