ORLANDO --
A wounded soldier has a new place to call home in Central Florida thanks to some local volunteers.

Staff Sergeant William Castillo received a purple heart for his service in Iraq-- it was the home this soldier and his family had been hoping for.

A renovated, 5 bedroom south Orlando home, built by the hands of volunteers who thought Staff Sergeant William Castillo deserved a gift for his work in Iraq.

Castillo was hit with 5 bullets after an IED exploded under his Humvee in Iraq.
