PC Kris was a victim of the terrorist attack on Westminster Bridge in London, and his north London home is now inaccessible. DIY SOS helps this injured officer get home.
On 22 March 2017, 35-year-old PC Kris was returning from a ceremony to honour officers who deal with public order issues where he was awarded for his exceptional work as a police liaison officer in the Metropolitan Police. What should have been a happy day shortly turned to horror as Kris became a victim of the terrorist attack on Westminster Bridge in London.
The horrific attack left five people dead, including police officer Keith Palmer, and many more with very serious injuries, including Kris. Kris was with two colleagues crossing the bridge when he was suddenly mowed down by the terrorist in his speeding car. Kris took the brunt of the collision. It left him with two broken legs, numerous head injuries, a lacerated elbow, a damaged left shoulder, sternum and tragically a damaged spinal cord which has left him wheelchair-bound.
Months after the attack, Kris resides in Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Aylesbury, undergoing daily routines to help with his rehabilitation, unable to return to his north London home as it is now inaccessible to him and unsuitable for his rehabilitation.
The front step just to get in is a massive obstacle, all the doorways are too narrow, the kitchen is unsuitable, there is no toilet on the ground floor, there is no way he can get upstairs to put the kids to bed and the garden is totally out of bounds. Without big changes, Kris can't get home, so that is where DIY SOS step in, with hundreds of generous volunteers, to help this injured police officer get home to his loving family.
