The Power of a Home
Dan never pretends that a home fixes everything. But he knows it can change the trajectory of a life.
“That’s what I tell builders,” he says. “You just don’t realize how much of an impact you can make just by doing what you do each and every day.” But Dan is equally honest about the reality that not every story ends in triumph. Some wounds reach far deeper than a home can heal. He recalls another young veteran they had helped—a husband and father of six, who lost both legs after the armored vehicle he was riding in hit an IED and erupted into flames. Operation Finally Home built him a two-story, fully accessible home with an elevator so he could move freely and live safely with his family.
