West Shore Home Gifts New Shower to Indianapolis Veteran Couple with 40+ Years Combined Service
Mechanicsburg, Pa. – West Shore Home®, one of the fastest growing home remodeling companies in the nation, is proud to honor Staff Sergeant Michael Gelfand and his wife, Major Lilibeth Goldshine, with a new safety-enhanced shower as part of its West Shore for Warriors™ initiative.
SSgt. Gelfand is a Vietnam veteran who served in the U.S. Army from 1965-1987. He earned the Purple Heart and a Vietnam Gallantry Cross with a Palm for his war service. He was also awarded the Soldier’s Medal for heroism after saving a woman and child from a burning car in Germany. It is the highest honor a soldier can receive for an act of valor in a non-combat situation.
Maj. Goldshine served in the Army from 1976-1997. Throughout her decorated career, she was stationed in Berlin, where she earned a National Defense Service Medal with a Bronze Service Star. She continues to lead, teaching JROTC at Indianapolis Public Schools for nearly 25 years.
Through its West Shore for Warriors™ initiative, West Shore Home is removing their old tub/shower unit and replacing it with a new, safety enhanced walk-in shower. Features include a teak seat, grab bars and a magnetic shower wand.
SSgt. Gelfand battles daily challenges with the injuries he sustained from his service. The new shower will be life-changing for his daily routine.
“I am 100% disabled and I have trouble lifting my legs over the tub and then standing. Being able to walk right in would mean less pain and being able to shower better,” said Gelfand. “It means a lot that a company like West Shore Home is serious about their appreciation of the military service of Veterans like me!”
The mission of West Shore for Warriors is to serve U.S. veterans, active military members, and their families. With its national footprint, West Shore Home is uniquely positioned to assist veterans in need.
“Staff Sergeant Gelfand and Major Goldshine have dedicated their lives to serving our country,” said B.J. Werzyn President and CEO of West Shore Home. “SSgt. Gelfand volunteered at his local VA Medical Center for 17 years after the military and Maj. Goldshine is leading a new generation through JROTC. We are honored to recognize them both through our West Shore for Warriors Program.”
West Shore Home specializes in window, door, and bath remodeling and replacement, with most projects completed in just one day. Its vision is to become America’s Most Admired Home Remodeling Brand®.
