It’s hard to put into words what Building Homes for Heroes has done for me — but transformational is a good place to start.
From the very beginning, BHH showed a level of care, coordination, and commitment that made me feel seen, respected, and supported not just as a veteran, but as a person navigating the realities of life with a disability. Their partnership with Purple Heart Homes, Owens Corning, and top-tier local contractors like Alfonsi Construction resulted in a life-changing home remodel that has given me back comfort, independence, and pride in my home.
What makes BHH stand out isn’t just the impact of the end result — though that’s undeniable. It’s the professionalism, communication, and compassion behind the scenes. People like Rusty Smallwood, Matt Stevenson, and others worked tirelessly in the background, reviewing scopes, approving adjustments, and keeping the project on track, all without ever asking for credit. They helped coordinate a remodel that included a full roof replacement, flooring, ramps, electrical, plumbing, a complete master bath transformation, and more.
It’s easy to focus on the final product, but none of it happens without the unsung heroes at BHH—the ones managing the logistics, advocating for the veteran, and clearing the path for others to do their part.
To any veteran considering applying for support through BHH: do it. This is not a handout—it’s a hand extended with deep purpose and respect. The experience will require follow-up, patience, and involvement. But if you’re willing to show up and meet the moment with gratitude and a willingness to work with the team, the results can be nothing short of life-changing.
Thank you, BHH. You’ve given me so much more than a home improvement—you’ve helped restore the feeling that this house is truly mine.
