Lucinda Mullins became a quadruple amputee last year after losing all four limbs due to sepsis following a severe infection after a routine operation to remove kidney stones.
Now she has finally gottten some good news: a total stranger who heard her story made it his mission to build her a new home with the access she needs, and get it done in ten days.
An 'army' of kindhearted volunteers gave up their time and money to build it.
A $320,000 cash donation combined with a further $550,000 worth of donated goods was used to help build the property. The 7,000 square foot, accessible smart home was constructed in just ten days using 98 percent donated labor. The new house sits on 20 acres of land and features top of the line appliances and finishes.
There's a heartwarming video that shows the moment the mom-of-two was carried over the threshold by her husband DJ.
'This is more than I ever could have dreamed,' a tearful Mullins told the crowd of 600 people who gathered to watch the unveiling of the property. "There are not enough words to say thank you to every body. One big thank you from the bottom of my heart. Our prayers have been answered.'
Her husband meanwhile was too overcome with emotion to speak. She has also recently been retrofitted with robotic arms that move when she shrugs her shoulders.
The movements mark huge milestones for Mullins, a nurse herself. She and her husband have previously described how she became dizzy and collapsed after she pulled her stent out, and her blood pressure dropped to dangerously low levels.
Mullins was immediately rushed to a local hospital, where doctors discovered that an unremoved kidney stone had become infected. She was told that she had gone into septic shock, with her organs beginning to shut down. Doctors stabilized her and placed on a ventilator before she was transported to a larger hospital in Lexington Kentucky.
For a week, Mullins 'wasn't moving, wasn't talking, wasn't responding,' DJ said.
'They said she was on the edge of a cliff and it was about to get worse.' Over the next several days, while her organ function began to improve, blisters broke out across her limbs. Once conscious again, doctors told Mullins that she would survive the infection - at the cost of her hands and legs.
