HUMBLE, Texas — A paraplegic’s “dream home” burned to the ground in Humble Tuesday morning.
The huge fire was reported shortly before 6 a.m. at the three-story home on Serene Avenue at Lee Road, not far from Bush Airport.
The homeowner, Vernon Lacey Jr. has been staying with relatives and wasn’t home when the fire broke out. “It’s just by the grace of God nobody was injured, nobody was there at the time,” said Denise Whytes, a relative. Family members said Lacey has been confined to a wheelchair since an accident left him paralyzed. He used his savings and money from a settlement to build the million dollar home.
