SURVIVOR
Survivor of the attack on the Pentagon, Louise Kurtz received burns on 70 percent of her body, causing her to lose her fingers. Five years later, Kurtz has managed to accomplish daily tasks without the use of prosthetics. She designed her new Spotsylvania, Virginia home with user friendly details like this light switch in the bathroom that can turn on and off with ease.
