Paralyzed and Living Alone - Watch Johnathan's Story

Check out this amazing video of Johnathan and see how he is moving in a positive direction after his accident. We want to give The Charles Lea Center in Spartanburg, SC a big thank you for putting this video together and for sharing it with us. We are so proud to be a small part of Johnathan's independence.

Johnathan is a strong-willed person who longs for his independence. Paralyzed not long after graduating from high school, Johnathan promised the doctors and nurses he would accomplish two goals: He would walk again one day, and he would have his own apartment and live on his own. With the help of SimplyHome technology and the Charles Lea Center, Johnathan is able to stay alone at nights and on weekends in his own apartment. SimplyHome worked to install technology into Johnathan's apartment that allows him to open and close his front door, control his thermostat, lights, fans, and television through an app installed on an iPad.
