It’s called “Braden’s House,” a three-month labour project dedicated to raising funds for Braden Pettinger.
Pettinger was playing for the Portage Terriers when he crashed head-on into the boards during a game on Nov.12. He crushed his C5 verterbrae in his neck and was paralyzed from the chest down. He remains in hospital undergoing occupational therapy.
For the past three months his cousin and extended family have been building a home they are now selling, which is located in Elgin, Man. The house is listed for $107,500.
