In 2006, Army Master Sergeant Daniel Robles was serving in Iraq when his vehicle struck an IED, resulting in the amputation of both legs. Five years later he received a specially adapted custom home from HFOT.

Dan says the stability and functionality of his home enabled him to focus on rehabilitation, set new goals, and ultimately climb Mount Kilimanjaro. 🧗‍♀️

“When I applied for an HFOT home, I had no idea how truly life‑changing it would be.
I've learned that the right support can make the impossible possible."

"I wouldn’t be where I am today without . The home I received gave me stability, independence, peace and the foundation that allowed me to rebuild."
