- In this episode of NBC's 'George to the Rescue': A heartwarming love story featuring an adventurous couple with disabilities who met during a competitive hand-cycling event and have been inseparable ever since, participating in numerous marathons together. And a jaw-dropping reveal of a time-sensitive primary bathroom upgrade that will help make life more comfortable for them as they take on some current health challenges one day at a time. 💙
Witness the triumph of the human spirit through Maria Bournias and her husband Peter Gagliardo - two inspiring soulmates, who together have weathered some of life’s toughest storms hand in hand - and an accessible bathroom makeover + soothing home sauna space by interior designer Vanessa DeLeon, contractor Albert Dichiara, and more talented contributors! Maria was born spina bifida and has had to endure many daunting surgeries throughout her life. She is currently battling a rare form of cancer but with her supportive husband Peter - who himself has overcome many obstacles after a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed at age 21 - by her side, she continues to trek forward with a courageous and loving spirit.
Many thanks to the following generous teams for making this dream project of a safe, functional bathroom remodel a wonderful reality for Maria and Peter:

Kudos to you for your help with this beautiful couple!! ❤
I love this show. Nothing makes me happier than watching the joy people experience when their lives are made better and easier.
I would love to know how Maria is doing medically, and how Pete is holding up. Mad Love for what you do, George!
According to her Facebook it looks like they are both doing well
The makeover is gorgeous and is going to a very deserving couple! I'm praying that Maria kicks this cancer. ❤❤
Thank you so much, George for recycling good reusable items! Vince Gill would be proud that you are supporting Habitat for Humanity! In my hometown we have a street that honors Vince Gill and his wife that is named in their honor for their effort and support of this great cause. I could tell you the story but you probably don't have time to read it.
G crew, you have no idea how happy I am that you are back. Thank you for demonstrating love in a tangible way. Many blessings from this ol coger.
Yes…I missed him and the show beyond what anyone could imagine…in these times of such negativity George and the crew bring such much needed brilliant light to everyone this show touches…like me and you…not just the wonderful recipients of this show…so thank you to all…LOTS OF LOVE and BIG HUGS…❤
The bathroom looks stunning! Wishing Maria to beat her cancer and not let it define who she is . This couple is beautiful
Aww, George, you are the absolute best. The people that you rescue are humble and beautiful. Now, with the recycling and giving them a hockey night.
Definitely necessary and worth all the effort to achieve the goal.
Carry on
It makes me so angry when good people are saddled with so many absurdly difficult challenges. It just makes it so clear that these things come down to pure luck.
Sobbing while hearing their story…. Finally they find each other, she has her wished wedding, they are happy and then life throws at them a bucket full of iced water.. I don’t understand. I hope they are doing well 🥹❤️ THANK YOU GEORGE AND CREW for everything you do to bring people happiness✨❤️🫂
Prayers coming to you from Colombia, never give up guys, G. Crew you did it again.
Maria and Peter, I hold you in my heart. Thank you for your courage, your smiles and even your tears. You are so loved, by so many. When you were all zooting around in those hand cycles I am sure the angels of heaven were sharing your laughter. George and team, thank you for this wonderful upgrade. You too are so loved, by so many. Hugs from Elm, South Africa. 💜💜💜
George, In all of the years, I've watched what you and your groups have done to make the lives of deserving people better; this episode is ABSOLUTELY the best! God bless you, and all of the wonderful volunteers and contributing companies and the things you have made happen and have accomplished.
Can I just say how much I love George SO MUCH !!!!! Great story ❤️
When some people complain about trivial matters and rant constantly, your story serves as inspiration for us and everyone else, demonstrating that no matter life's challenges, we must persevere. Maria, we'll be praying for your upcoming operation. Don't let it hinder you from rising and moving forward once more. Both of you are inspirations, and we're rooting for you.
George to the Rescue team, you rock!!! ❤❤❤🎉

Please George, volunteers & contributing sponsors, please keep on keeping on! It’s amazing what you do to better peoples lives! A beacon of light in a sometimes dark world. One commentator said they forgave you George for making them cry. Tonight I’m headed to a birthday party and as I watched this I’m all dressed up & makeup on & now I have to redo my makeup from the damage my crying did! What a glorious love story! Totally get her loving her makeup station. Best wishes on upcoming cancer recovery.

To everyone so Glad you came back I watch every Rescue you done always make me cry blessing families around the world as well as business ,schools etc.
I love George.
I loved this episode so much. This is a couple who refused to let their disabilities and challenges stand in the way of their futures, as individuals and as a couple. They are an inspiration and proof that you can overcome obstacles if you truly work for your dream and have someone beside you who supports you and shares that dream. I'm praying for Maria to beat this new health crisis and wishing a long and happy life together for them.
Very touching story and well deserved, out of the ball park with this one 🙏🏽

Beautiful as always.
Beautiful remodel. Love story at it's best. Wondering why they didn't use a sink he could fit his wheelchair under? I love that tub. Only thing I miss in the apartment I live in. TFS. Wishing her a complete recovery.
Love their lovestory ❤ they deserve it ❤
Another great series.
I love yall but i do miss like the whole crew or all the people who helped showing up in the end🥺 but other than that, i enjoy every episode!!!
❤❤❤
Great job. But how is he supposed to get close enough to the counter with his wheelchair??
Hi! I just turn sideways, I can still wash my hands and brush my teeth. I much prefer the storage the vanity brings. It works for me but we are all different :)
Come on guys…you can’t use command strips in this bathroom…it is just dangerous. They need to be able to withstand either of them putting full body weight in case of an accident…
