Homes For Veterans Mission Statement:

Homes for Veterans is a 501(c) (3) organization. We build and donate homes for disabled veterans who lost the ability to be freely mobile due to war injuries. Disabled veterans that have their own homes we will renovate the home for barrier free living at no cost. Building specially adapted homes to accommodate their combat inflicted disabilities is accomplished through donations from Americans that want to show their appreciation for the service those brave soldiers gave to our country.

  • 2012 DRIVE HELP US REACH OUR GOAL – Join us and help as we raise funds for Sgt. Clark’s barrier free kitchen!!

  • We have a NEW corporate sponsor and we have a NEW Executive Marketing Director – !
  • Colonel Dave Morgan stationed in Maryland has donated his home in Michigan to Homes for Veterans. This is such a tremendously generous donation we cannot thank him enough. Col. Morgan doesn’t want any recognition he’s just doing what he can.
  • The Old Bridge-Sayreville Rotary Club of New Jersey gave Homes for Veterans a very generous donation. We thank them for helping our soldiers from the bottom of our heart. Please support them whenever you can.
  • We are currently working on renovating a kitchen for Sergeant Robert Clark of Clifton New Jersey. He was wounded when a building he was in was bombed. Lower cabinets, counters and a roll under sink will make maneuvering around to prepare food much easier.

  • The wounded warriors who have come home from war in Iraq, Afghanistan, the war on terror, military campaigns arising from the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and other military conflicts around the world are disabled because they put their lives on the line for Freedom’s cause.
  • These men and women of our Armed Forces – Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force – joined their units, companies and battalions whole. Because of rockets, grenades, mortars, landmines, improved explosive devices and insurgent sharpshooters, countless ground troops, troops riding in Humvees and more have became disabled and are now not able to attain the resources they need to buy a home.
  • These homes for our troops, our disabled veterans, need to be handicap accessible and barrier free homes. This is the mission that Homes For Veterans has undertaken – to build specially adapted homes for wounded, injured and disabled veterans.

The Painful Facts of Fighting For Freedom – Which is Never Free:

  • Explosions, grenades tearing through armored military Humvees and more have burned and maimed countless soldiers, many of whom will not leave their comrades in arms until everyone is out. Excessive burns, blindness, loss of fingers, hands, arms, legs, feet, shrapnel wounds, and more have left these noble soldiers and their lives changed forever.
  • Many of these veterans spend months in medically induced comas so their bodies can begin to heal; then countless more months in painful therapy – being fitted with new limbs, hands, feet – learning  the basics all over again such as how to walk, how to run, how to speak, how to eat – then it’s on home to their families, loved ones, wives and children.
  • Having to live in a home where just moving around the kitchen or taking a shower is a huge struggle is difficult and completely unnecessary.
  • Home For Veterans is dedicated to building specially adapted homes which are handicap accessible, barrier free and of no cost to the veteran themselves. Your donation to our military charity will allow them the dignity of living independently.

Continue reading through the Homes For Veterans website to find out how you can help us help combat wounded veterans start a new life in their own specially adapted house. These disabled veterans are YOUR daughters and sons, aunts and uncles, mothers and fathers. Our disabled veterans fought for freedom – and freedom is never free. They know, they have paid the price.

A Special Thanks -

I want to thank two people who without them this charity would never be.

Steven J. Lawlor CPA. He put in a lot of time with me to take Homes for Veterans from an idea to reality, then filed all the paper work to make it official.

And Maureen McCullough who is not only an extremely talented web site designer, she is a warm caring person that has worked tirelessly getting the word out for Homes for Veterans.

From the bottom of my heart,

Doug DiPaola, President, Homes For Veterans
