Army veteran Jorge Egraite isn't forgetting the day his life changed forever.

"I have been amputated since July 18th,” said the 74-year-old Egraite.

Two months ago, Egraite lost his leg to diabetes and has been at the VA hospital since. He took a break on Thursday to visit his home in Wesley Chapel.

His house is being renovated to better fit his wheelchair needs, until he gets his prosthetic leg.

With all the medical expenses facing him and his wife, it’s a change he never saw coming.

“I couldn’t believe it,” he said.

With the help of Steve Chamberland, founder of 50 Legs, a nonprofit that helps amputees, Egraite will easily get through the door with his wheelchair.

“We are just going to replace this window here with a door right here,” Chamberland said.

But that’s not all. Egraite’s entire home will also be modified to make it accessible for him.

“To change somebody’s life in 10 hours...how can you not do it, you know?” Chamberland said.

It's a touching effort that brought tears to Egraite's eyes.

“I never thought this could happen," he said. "And when they told me, I couldn’t believe it, and I said to my wife, 'Wait till they come and see if they can do just the door,' but they are doing so much."

These renovations couldn’t have been possible without 15-year-old Nathan Dodds. Two years ago, Chamberland helped raise money for him after he was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Nathan wanted to pay it forward and reached out to Chamberland, asking him to help his now disabled neighbor.

“I know a lot of people have done stuff for me to touch my heart when I was first diagnosed so..” Nathan said.

And in case you’re wondering if this has touched Egraite and his wife, it’s an act of kindness that keeps on passing along.

"You have my word," Egraite said. "Whenever I have my leg, I’m going to help you. I’m a builder too."
