Building Homes For Heros
Building Homes for Heroes assists our severely wounded and disabled veterans and their families rebuild their lives.  Many of these young men and women are coming home badly burned, with permanent and unsightly body disfigurements, missing limbs, the loss of sight or ability to walk, psychiatric conditions or paralysis.

Over 2,500 American soldiers have paid the ultimate price while fighting America’s War on Terror.  Unfortunately, the casualty list isn’t made up of only those who have lost their lives over the past four years.  More than 18,000 members of our military have been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Building Homes for Heroes is committed to supporting these extraordinary men and women, with a goal to build homes for families in dire need. We believe that it’s our responsibility to support those who have been called upon to make the ultimate personal sacrifice — to protect and safeguard our country by fighting America’s War on Terror.  While Americans have differences of opinion over the war in Iraq, we feel that too many let that get in the way of supporting a unified commitment to properly care for our wounded.
