A dad from Cincinnati, Ohio, is winning hearts online for building a wheelchair-accessible igloo for his daughter. According to Independent.ie, Gregg Eichhorn decided to build a giant snow fort for his 19-year-old, differently-abled daughter Zahara. The igloo features a door that is tall and wide enough to accommodate her wheelchair.
Pictures of his creation went viral after they were shared on Reddit by his friend, Daniel Thoms. While one picture shows a smiling Zahara in her fort, the other features the tall igloo in all its snow-white glory.
