DIY SOS arrives in East Barnet - an update
I shared a post a few weeks ago about this - here's the story behind it:
Do you know anyone who has a building trade that could assist the BBC’s DIY SOS in Barnet? Here's why...
On 22nd March 2017, 35 year old Kris Aves attended a London Police Commendation Ceremony and was awarded for his exceptional work as a Police Liaison Officer in the Metropolitan Police. What should have been a happy day shortly turned to horror as Kris became a victim of the terrorist attack on Westminster Bridge.
The horrific attack left 5 people dead, including Police Officer Keith Palmer and another dozen with very serious injuries including PC Kris. Kris was returning from the ceremony when he was suddenly mowed down by the terrorist in a speeding car. Kris took the brunt of the collision. It left him with two broken legs, numerous head injuries, a lacerated elbow, a damaged left shoulder, sternum, and tragically a damaged spinal cord which has left him wheel chair bound.
Kris now resides in Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Aylesbury, undergoing daily routines to assist with his rehabilitation. His partner Marissa cares for son (6) and daughter (4) in their home in East Barnet which is now inaccessible to Kris and unsuitable for his rehabilitation. The home needs considerable adaption throughout, and a through floor lift before Kris can return to his loving family.
DIY SOS invites trades and to volunteer and companies to support this build for Police Officer Kris Aves and his family. The build will take place between 10th and 19th October.
To join the build you need to attend a Trades Day being held on 21st September. Please email diysosbarnet@bbc.co.uk as soon as possible with your trade details, availability and telephone contact details.
