With her whole life ahead of her, a tragic skiing accident left Rebecca with a devastating spinal cord injury and learning to live life as a quadriplegic. Rebecca’s family home in Plainview, NY requires a renovation that would make it accessible - that's where George Oliphant and George to the Rescue stepped in!

A truly lovely story. I hope she reconsiders that ambition to attend med school; he has the grit and persistence to make a fine physician. (so says a retired biochemist who started grad school in a wheelchair in the 1980's.)
I have always admired the work George has done, especially since I am a retired occupational therapist. This time, I cried tears of joy to see what George and his team of angels did for Rebecca and family in my previous hometown of Plainview!
❤️❤️❤️ exactly ! 😥
I have a Son that is paralyzed from the waist down. So I understand what Rebecca is going through. I only wish that my Son had his own place . He lost his previous home due to a Divorce. Hopefully he will be in his own place soon and have access to all that being a paraplegic requires .If I had the finances I would buy him a house with everything he needs to be comfortable.
I hope that she will continue her reach for a medical education. There is so much she can do still and with all the fields of medicine, research etc, she can still have her professional dreams because she has her brain and so much assistive technology to aid her in achieving independence. I know quite a few people with her level of disability and they went to Uni and are successful. Friends of mine have trachs and they are professionally employed: lawyer with his own law firm, owner and president of an IT company...it can be done.
This young lady has a very special smile really. George is right, you can just feel the energy.
That was such a sweet little metaphor (or whatever you would call it) when he hung the happiness painting and left the other two on the shelf 🥹
Beautiful, independent home! Good driving Rebecca, I use a power wheelchair myself--and welcome to the club. Sorry you had such a hard way here but we have a lot of fun too, and you're quite welcome. I'm smitten with your wonderful smile and symbolic art, and look forward to see how you grow into your new life. All the love from MN.
A HUGE shoutout to all these companies and sponsors that gave countless thousands of dollars and the employees that worked so hard to make this happen. You all are heroes! You literally changed this family's life for the better on a momentous scale!
With this renovation George again changed the life of a beautiful family. There were besides George a lot of heroes in this episode!
Rebecca is beautiful, sweet and positive and will go on and do great things in the world. Nothing stops her! Way to inspire, Rebecca!
This guy is awesome doing all of this for Rebecca for free. It takes so much off her and her parents back and allows her to live back in her house.Shoutout to everyone would donated there services and time to this young lady and her family.
Wow. Just WOW!! As a special education teacher, this is a dream renovation to supply excellent access to a someone who truly needs it AND appreciates it. Rebecca, you go girl!! Your life has changed but never put your dreams away. GTTR, my hat's off to all of the team!! Excellent job!!
The mental toughness that is required to deal with such an injury, she is remarkable!!
What a beautiful gift.
Watching George tear up after receiving the painting had me crying also! Thank you to George and ALL his Angels! 🙏❤
Praise the LORD❤️
What a beautiful family, and Rebecca is such a sweet and charming young lady. You guys nailed this renovation!
Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely amazing all of these renovations he does for people that need them and have not 1 cent to try to do it themselves. I just wish we could see this being done to families who can't afford it. Families who are poor and have children or ect that need help.
It's just always huge houses and I just want to see the smile on a child's face that truly needs it financially wise.
I hope this makes sense. No ill intent. Beautiful what he does. It's just always those who have good money.
The problem is that poor people, especially in high cost of living areas, don't tend to own their homes. They tend to live in cramped apartments with other family members and their children. George and his team can't buy them a house and renovate it for them and pay for all of their bills, you know?
These people are considered Middle Class here in the US. But we don't have Universal Healthcare and if she didn't have health insurance, they're liable for ALL medical and rehab expenses, which are astronomical and for a lifetime. Even with insurance, we've had instances of people losing their homes to pay for these bills. Or not having enough leftover to pay for anything else, including rehabbing their homes. They then are literally Lower-Middle Class who own property, but don't qualify for any government assistance. Whereas people without property, low income, etc., do qualify for government assistance including Healthcare insurance. I am not posting this to be divisive, or to pit people against each other, or as a rebuke for your statement. You have valid feelings for people who are hurting and in need. I feel for everyone in hurtful, dire circumstances. It would be great if everyone helped everyone in need. Our world would be a much better place. We need good people wherever we can find them who help others however they can. I'm grateful for the help provided me, and I'm grateful that people like George and his colleagues exist. They help brighten some people's lives, one family at a time. We all need to find our niche to help somehow, even in much smaller ways perhaps. Wishing blessings, good fortune for you and all of us.

Everyone needs a “George”!
George of George to the Rescue, all of you did a beautiful job! Sometimes Alexis just doesn’t understand. A good example is when the toddler who asks Alexis to play “Baby Shark” and Alexis names something else.
First time watching the show as I sat here feeling sorry for myself. That all changed when I saw Rebecca's story, the strength of this young woman puts my issues to shame. Thank you George for working with this family and Rebecca just for being you.
George & his squad did it again😇👍💕!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!
loved this renovation - Rebecca and her family deserve all of this show of love and support
What an amazing gift you've given this you lady, the gift of freedom within her home, her safe place. You and your sponsors are to be commended George.
This lady is lucky in a manner of speaking. Due to technological advancements over the years,who thought that a wheelchair cod be controlled by puffs of air.
I was hit by a car but have mental health issues which can be very debilitating.
Thank God she survived and embodies life.
Sending tears of love and joy to Rebecca and your wonderful and special Family. You are an example of making life beautiful despite the hurdles, Rebecca. May God Bless you, your family and the GTTR Team and keep you all safe now and forever and always. Thanks for sharing an inspirational and uplifting video of hope. Best wishes from Janice. Johannesburg, South Africa.xx.
Yes, like Rebecca's her own place. Great job, George and friends
George, this is possibly one of your best!
What a deserving person you found!
Unbelievably amazing. Brought tears to my eyes.
Simply amazing what George and his team can do! Rebecca, I hope you truly enjoy the independence this renovation has given you.
What a beautiful Family. Such love, strength and courage. A sensational renovation for a lovely, spirited young lady! ❤️😊
The Koltons are a wonderful family! George you are a mensch!
May the Lord continue to bless you all.🙏❤
George, all his team, all the companies that donated their products and time and expertise…truly wonderful people out there. May wonderful karma come back to each & every one of them. I sent this to several families & challenged them to watch without crying tears of joy to see a young woman overcoming such an awful tragedy & inspiring so many people worldwide! My family across the USA is rooting for you❣️
This is simply incredible! "Hope lives here!" As an occupational therapist, we teach the importance of living your life to the fullest and being as independent as possible. Rebecca, your resilience is an inspiration to us all, you will do good things, I know it having met you, I have seen first hand your inner toughness and grit. George, keep up your good work - thank you for the gift you gave to Rebecca and her amazing family!
George ! You guys are the best. Accolades for what you do and what you’ve been doing for all these years.
What an amazing woman and supportive family and community! Love the renovation and all that it’ll do for her and her family.
What a beautiful soul……two counting George
she’s great i like how she articulates the things she says
Never miss a video! Much love to Rebecca and her family! George you rock!
and again, thank you George2Rescue
always gratefull to see another happiness in every single episode
Anything is possible indeed with George’s team. You guys are amazing! Thank you for helping Rebecca and her family. 😊
Giving your painting to George and his reaction Rebecca was wonderful. Good on you Mum and Dad.
I love you Rebecca + Koltun family!! ❣
beautiful girl beautiful attitude!
Joni Erickson Tada has taught me so much about life. Joni had a swimming accident at a young age. Now Rebecca is showing us all how to have joy & hope and living a brilliant admirable life. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️🙏
Rebecca you are amazing a true ⭐️! George your team knocked it out of the park so cool 😎 I love how your community friends and family have supported you throughout
Absolutely amazing! Great Job George and Team! I wish Rebecca and her family all the best.
I came from Rebecca’s tiktok and this is just amazing. My god, you’ve given her and her family so much! I can only imagine the cost without your support. Literally amazing
✝️GOD Bless you George and Team. Woohoo Rebecca🥰🥰🤗
This will give you so much more independence and freedom! So happy for her and her family! Brings tears to my eyes! Having the colors we like is so important. I have told my kids to make sure I have pastels and windows that bring in light if I can’t speak for myself! God will continue to strengthen you like He has Joni Erickson Tada. He has used Joni to help people like you meet the challenges you face. I believe in miracles, so I am praying God will continue to heal you COMPLETELY! Everyone in my family has had a miraculous healing and God is no respecter of persons.
Amazing work! The future is bright for Rebecca and her family ❤❤
George, you need a cape! Super hero status!
George and Rebecca, you are both amazing. This was my first time seeing this show and I’m so glad it was this one. Rebecca you are truly an inspiration. I will be having my 14 year old daughter watch this with me to see that fighting spirit. You can tell this family is loving, not only with each other but towards their community. FYI MC Hammer lives, he cannot look down on you. 😂
I was staying strong, just some tears here and there, but when the dad started crying I was a goner.
I've watched tons of George to the rescue videos. But this one made me sob uncontrollably..don't know why..
Amazing job! I kept tearing up 🥺
I’m so happy for Rebecca & her family ❤️
Absolutely amazing the way that George truly pays attention to details. I pray that Rebecca meets Joni Eareckson Tada someday. She too is an artist and an inspiration to many women around the world. Best wishes to this young woman for the future. 🙏✝️🤗❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🙏
What wonderful people you and your team are!
So glad you're back! Every episode is so special ❤
A very heart warming renovation.
Just beautiful. You brought their daughter home...
God bless all of you. ❤️🙏🏼

Incredible .
I just love good people doing good things for other!
Blessings Rebecca🙏🏻
Wow! George and his team are awesome! They never disappoint!
Beautiful soul x so brave . Wish you health and happiness. Jo
I really wish more people were interested in universal design and that more living spaces included those ideas. Like it or not, we all age and most of us will eventually have mobility concerns. Why not have homes already designed to allow people to age in place and provide a maximum of independence? It’s not hard; we know how to do it.
This is a fabulous story, and I’m very glad Rebecca got the living space she needs. I just wish that every severely disabled person stuck in a nursing home or in an inaccessible environment would have these same opportunities. It’s very hard to find adapted homes at any price point, and it’s even harder to find affordable apartments anywhere.
Awesome job George and the rescue team.❤❤
That was amazing ❤️ I pray Rebecca has a happy life 😊
Beautiful ❤
What courage and love! Thanks to George and all involved.
Praise the LOrD❤️❤️❤️
This is so beautiful, thank you for helping people ❤️
She’s from my town!!
i missed you George, been pretty occupied and now back at it. Love from Kashmir.
I always love this show and how they help so many people but this one hit me pretty hard and made me cry like 3 times
Great Video George Thanks for sharing your time with us
Get well soon.
Prayers to you all so much
Loved the video
George this story is great.
There is a similar story like this about Joni Eareckson... in the 60s at 17 she became quadriplegic in a diving accident at a lake... she went on to paint using a paintbrush held by her mouth.
Finallyyyy❤🎉
Thank you
Love this 🙏♥️
Amazing job!
Give us a 6 month update !!!
Life is so fragile, the only hope to overcome all physical and mental pain is our Lord Jesus Christ
GOD is There
