The Augustus Family Picture 

 

 

 

Community Bands Together to Help a Local Family in Need 

 

In fall of 2008, Paul Augustus' life was drastically changed when, during routine home maintenance, he fell from a ladder and was paralyzed from the waist down. Since this time, Paul, his wife, and their two young children have struggled to adjust to the changes that this tragic accident has brought to their lives. Fortunately, Paul's faith, supportive family and friends, and positive outlook have helped him through this difficult period.

 

An enormous challenge that faces them is whether or not they can remain in their home that rests within the community that has helped them through this extremely difficult time. In order for the Augustus family to stay in their home, they will need to adapt countertops, cabinets, and washrooms so that they are wheelchair accessible. They will also need to install an elevator that runs from the basement to the bedrooms upstairs for Paul to have full access to his home. As you can imagine, these changes will be expensive.

 

Paul is determined to continue to participate fully in his children's lives whether it is playing with them during the day or tucking them into bed at night. These are the small joys that we all take for granted.

 

Physical limitations can be overcome with creativity and the help of the community. Paul's incredible outlook on life inspires us, Paul's community, to join together to make the seemingly impossible, possible. As such, Paul's family, friends, and community members are confident that with time and commitment we can raise the funds needed to help the Augustus family overcome their first major obstacle-making home, homey once again.

 

To help alleviate the financial burden that they are facing, the community has formed The Paul Augustus Support Fund, A Community Working Together  and will be hosting a golf outing at Copper Hill Country Club in Flemington on Monday, July 20, 2009.  There are several ways in which you can show your support for Paul:

 

 

Please join us on July 20th with the Augustus Family for a Hunterdon County Family Fun Day. All proceeds will go to the renovation of the Augustus family home.
