300th Home Ceremony Updates!

Building Better and Brighter Lives®

Building Homes for Heroes Celebrates 300 Homes!

Building Homes for Heroes celebrated its milestone 300th home alongside our national partners and several hundred supporters within the Dallas/Fort Worth Community. A patriotic procession featured firefighters, police officers, emergency workers, high school band, cheerleaders, Boy Scouts and more as we joined together to honor Army Specialist John Merchant and his new home. From our humble beginnings in the search and rescue of 9/11 until now, we are so grateful to all have joined us along our journey. Together, we’re building better and brighter lives and making our communities and country a better place!

299th Home Ceremony!

299th Home ~ Montrond Family (Building Homes for Heroes) Gold Star Children

Our 299th home was for a very special family. In 2006, Army Sergeant Alberto Montrond was killed in action in Afghanistan, leaving behind his children and his wife, Christl. Tragically, Christl died from cancer in 2021, leaving her oldest daughter, Nazeraeh, as the guardian of her three younger siblings. Now, this Gold Star Family has a place to call their forever home in the Tampa area, in loving memory of their mother and father.

Four-time Super Bowl Champion Rob Gronkowski Heartfelt Welcome

Four-time Super Bowl Champion Rob Gronkowski, who retired last year as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, had a special message to deliver to Nazeraeh and the Montrond Family. A perfect message on the eve of the NFL season. See for yourself what “Gronk” had to say to this amazing family!

Special Forces Florida Veteran Shares His Story

The family of Army MSG George Vera, a Purple Heart, Silver Star and Bronze Star (4x) recipient who was injured in Afghanistan, shares his story.

Air Force Master Sgt Joseph Deslauriers

In September of 2011, MSgt. Deslauriers, a 1st Special Operations Civil Engineer Squadron explosive ordnance disposal technician, was mounted in a mine resistance vehicle conducting a post-blast assessment of an IED explosion in Afghanistan. Explosive Ordnance disposal specialists are tactical and technical explosive efforts who are trained to destroy and disable unexploded ordnance, improvised explosive devices and weapons of mass destruction. In an effort to get a closer look at the damage done by an IED blast, MSgt. Deslauriers dismounted and subsequently set off an IED. The explosion that ensued resulted in MSgt. Deslauriers losing both legs above the knee, and his left arm at the elbow.

Army Master Sergeant George Vera - Florida

In his 20th year of service, Master Sergeant Vera’s base came under attack from a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (IED) driven by suicide bombers. Master Sergeant Vera exposed himself to the blast as he pulled wounded soldiers away from enemy fire. He was shot during his efforts to secure the perimeter.
Sergeant Vera suffered a spinal cord injury that resulted in paralysis. He is now confined to a wheelchair. He also suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and a loss of his vital organs, including a kidney, and part of his liver and intestines.

U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Kirstie Ennis - Colorado

U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Kirstie Ennis nearly died when the CH-53D helicopter she was flying in as an aerial gunner crash-landed in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

The accident broke her left ankle and caused severe damage to her leg, tore her rotator cuff and labrum, injured the cervical discs of her spine, shattered her jaw, and caused severe facial lacerations, a traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress disorder. Ennis was combat meritoriously promoted to the rank of Sergeant.

USAF Capt Nathan Nelson - Florida

United States Air Force Captain Nathan Nelson suffered a spinal cord injury from a rocket blast in Afghanistan. He has no movement below his waist and limited use of his hands. Captain Nelson was part of a special operations team that took heavy fire during his third tour in Afghanistan.

Building Homes for Heroes recently completed a customized, ground-up, mortgage-free home for Captain Nelson, his wife Jennifer, and their 3-year-old daughter in Florida.

Army Specialist Hugo Gonzalez - Florida

US Army Specialist Hugo Gonzalez was severely injured in combat in Baqubah, Iraq. He was on patrol in a Hummer bucket truck when his unit was ambushed. The vehicle took a direct hit from an improvised explosive device (IED) and a furious gun battle broke out with insurgents.

The blast wave caused Specialist Gonzalez to suffer a traumatic brain injury, and fragments ripped into his head. He was evacuated to the base camp where he was placed in a medically-induced coma, and underwent a craniotomy to remove a piece of bone from his cranium to relieve the pressure of the swelling of his brain.

SPC Gonzalez received his mortgage-free home in FL.
