True Foundation | A Deserving Veteran Comes Home
On August 29th, a truly heartwarming event unfolded as True Homes, in collaboration with Freedom Alliance and US Bank, presented a generous and life-changing gift to a deserving veteran. Together, we unveiled a fully furnished, semi-custom home, completely mortgage-free, for U.S. Army Private Second Class Roy Garcia and his family. This event symbolizes our deep gratitude and respect for the immense sacrifices made by our servicemen and women like Roy, who served in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, which was among the most dangerous locations in Afghanistan at the time.
Our True Foundation stands as a beacon of hope and stability, dedicated to supporting members of our community, especially those who have devoted their lives to defending our freedom. With each step of this journey, the teams at US Bank, Freedom Alliance, and True Homes True Foundation poured their love and sweat into creating a peaceful and welcoming environment for Roy and his family. We express our heartfelt thanks to our corporate team, True Foundation team, builders, and incredible volunteer teams who dedicated their time to perfecting every aspect of this home, furnishing it, and ensuring it became a place of comfort and rest.
“He has slept in his Zen room the last two nights. He relaxes in there at night, and I tell him to make sure and come to bed. But then, in the morning, I found him in the recliner with the water on. It’s WONDERFUL to see him at peace!” – Allison Garcia
“Roy Garcia fought in battle and sacrificed for our nation. Like so many combat veterans, he now struggles with the physical and emotional wounds of war, but this home will help him provide for his family and focus on his rehabilitation.” – Tom Kilgannon, president of Freedom Alliance
“Allison and Roy are so very grateful, as are we at Freedom Alliance, for your generosity. We have never given a fully furnished home to a veteran and his family, so this was indeed one for the record books!” – Freedom Alliance
As we witness the positive impact of this gift, with Roy finding peace and solace in his new home, our hearts are warmed. The words of Allison and Roy, echoing their gratitude and the appreciation from Freedom Alliance, are a testament to the profound difference this initiative has made in their lives. This event has set a remarkable milestone in our efforts to support veterans, and we proudly welcome Roy Garcia and his family to their new home, where they can start a new chapter of their lives with comfort, security, and the knowledge that their sacrifices are deeply valued.
Welcome home, Garcia Family!
