(POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – PR LOG – October 22, 2015) Military Makeover is about to surprise an army veteran, his wife and two daughters with their new home, which was donated by a marine widow. Tune in to the Finale and Big Reveal of Military Makeover, presented by SunTrust Bank, Friday, October 23, 2015 at 7:00 a.m. (ET/PT) on Lifetime® TV to see their reactions to the renovations that transformed the Florida house into an inviting and safe home.

Tommy Travis was deployed to Baghdad, Iraq where he suffered a brain injury after a grenade hit his Humvee. He has PSTD and traumatic brain injury. Wilma “Tinky” Stuart is the generous widow from a military family who wanted to pay it forward by donating her Eustis, Florida home to a deserving vet. Tune in to hear how the two connected.

Previously living in a 900 square foot space, the Travis’s will soon be settled into their 3/2 home with pool, thanks to Tinky, and the generous donations of valued partners who teamed up with Military Makeover:

Technology Fit for a Hero – with iRULU® Technologies, Inc.

When iRULU heard of Tommy’s story they wanted to help make the family’s digital life easier, more productive, and fun so they stepped in to become the series’ exclusive technology partner for a chance to give back and make a difference.
