MACOMB TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Kid Rock has helped surprise an injured soldier with a new, custom-built home that the musician helped finance.

Rock and others were on hand Saturday to present the suburban Detroit house to Army Sgt. Davin Dumar and wife Dana.

The house was built by Pulte Group in Macomb County's Macomb Township. It's a gift to the Dumars from Pulte, Rock and the nonprofit group Operation Finally Home.

The Oakland Press of Pontiac reports Dumar says the gift fills him with "shock and amazement."

Dumar lost a leg and injured his arm in Afghanistan in 2011. New Braunfels, Texas-based Operation Finally Home has been building homes for wounded soldiers for seven years.
