Quadruple amputee soldier Travis Mills will open his transformed Maine estate this weekend which will allow 56 veteran families to have free holidays this summer.

Mills, who was a Staff Sergeant in the 82nd Airborne was critically wounded by an improvised explosive device while on patrol on his third tour of Afghanistan on April 10, 2012.

The 16-bedroom mansion in Readfield, Maine will be officially opened by the retired veteran this Sunday.

Mills raised $2.75 million to transform the property while online retailer Wayfair provided almost 800 pieces of furniture and interior decor to complete the newly renovated mansion

Mills spent 19 months in rehab, but has managed to rebuild his life despite the injuries

The 30-year-old father of one underwent a 19-month rehabilitation programme after he was blown up in Afghanistan.

He is one of only five soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq who survived losing parts of all four limbs.

In 2014, he created the Travis Mills foundation to help fellow veterans and the project was made possible by an incredible fundraising drive.

He told People magazine he managed to raise the $2.75 million to restore the historic 11,000 square-foot house.

He said: 'The majority of our donations come from everyday proud Americans. We get letters from grandmas that are 87 that say, "I don’t have much. Hope this helps with something".'

Mills and his wife Kelsey are even expecting their second child later this year

According to Mills, the property will open this Sunday following its extensive makeover

Mills runs the foundation along with his wife Kelsey, 28, who is expecting their second child.

He added: 'We understand what these families have been through. These vets don’t have to live life on the sidelines and watch their families do things.'

As well as donations, businesses such as online retailer Wayfair completely kitted out the 800 pieces of furniture in the house and helped assemble it.

According to his Facebook page, Mills wrote: 'It is with great joy that we announce the Grand Opening of the Travis Mills Foundation Veterans Retreat.

'We are thrilled to welcome members of the community to join us to open the doors of our national veterans retreat from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Sunday, June 25.

'Please join us for our opening as we welcome 56 veteran families to Maine at no cost to them this summer.'
