Steps 2 Hope hosted an official launch party last week to kick-off its next major project: Jason’s New Journey.

The event, which was open to the public, was held at the Colonnade Center in Ringgold on Thursday. US101’s Ken and Daniel hosted the launch, which gave the North Georgia and Chattanooga communities a chance to learn more about Steps 2 Hope and their plans to build Sgt. Jason Smith a new home.

Sgt. Smith, a 2004 Ringgold High School graduate, lost both legs while serving in Afghanistan in 2012.

Steps 2 Hope has announced plans to build the wounded veteran a home, and will rely on the community’s support to secure the materials, donations, and volunteers needed to complete the project in 2015.

Steps 2 Hope is a non-profit agency founded by Chattanooga families committed to serving young adults who are faced with life changing loss of mobility from traumatic events.
