Volunteers plan to help remodel the Knightdale house of a woman paralyzed in a freak accident when one of her bridesmaids shoved her in a pool.
The Remodelers Council of the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County is helping make Rachelle Friedman's home more handicapped accessible.
Friedman was paralyzed from the chest down just a month before her June wedding when she hit her head on the bottom of a pool while enjoying a night out with her bridesmaids.
Friedman decided to postpone her wedding because if she married her fiance, she would stop receiving the Medicaid checks she needs to pay for her constant care and rehabilitation.
NBC's "Today" will feature the remodeling, which is part of another NBC show, "George to the Rescue."
