WE NEED YOU — Come be a part of a TV home makeover that gives back to a deserving Military Veteran and his family!
Come lend your skills, time and heart for the latest season of “Military Makeover with Montel®” in partnership with Purple Heart Homes.
ABOUT THE DAWSON FAMILY:
During his time in the Army, Matthew Dawson rose to the rank of Sergeant, with deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, before being medically boarded and honorably discharged. His time spent overseas changed him irrevocably, as Matthew faced a shrinking unit due to the toll of combat and survived a grenade blast. For his service, Matthew has received numerous awards, including the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, Iraq Campaign Medal with two Campaign Stars, Purple Heart, and multiple ribbons recognizing his dedication.
Now a foreman at a custom welding and fabrication shop, Matthew continues to push forward while managing ongoing injuries that include PTSD, back and hip pain, hearing loss, and nerve damage caused by the shrapnel still present in his body. Always at his side for support is his partner of 12 years, Christina. Childhood friends who reconnected as young adults, Matthew and Christina are navigating post-military life while they raise two children.
