God Bless Our Heroes

God Bless Our Heroes!

Last week was a very special week for two of our leaders, Cynthia and Kristene in North Carolina. They visited Sgt. Jon Roberts and his family in North Carolina and saw firsthand the power of the partnership between Homes for Our Troops and Signature HomeStyles. Jon was a soldier in Iraq who was hit head on by a truck and suffered massive brain damage.

Jon’s parents were missionaries in the Philippines when they received the call and were told that he would never be able to function again. That was two years ago and today Jon and his parents are in a new home built by Homes for Our Troops that is wheel chair accessible. Jon is now able to communicate with a keyboard and has just started trying to talk.

Through our commitment to Homes for Our Troops Signature HomeStyles is donating product to help organize and decorate Jon’s new home. As Cynthia and Kristene perused our catalog with Jon, he gave a ‘thumbs up’ on the items he would like to have. In a few weeks they will return to put his chosen products in place.

We are blessed to have American heroes like Jon. How do we ever thank them and their families for their sacrifices. Homes for Our Troops is making sure that they are not forgotten and we are proud to be able to join in that mission. Last month the AIP (American Institute of Philanthropy), a charity watch group, included Homes for Our Troops in their Top-Rated Veterans and Military Charities listing.

The more we grow as a company, the more we will be able to give to this worthwhile cause. I am so proud of this partnership, so proud of every representative of Signature HomeStyles who sells our Homes for Our Troops products, and proud of Cynthia and Kristene and all the other representatives who have taken their time to support these heroes. I just love the power we have when we work together to make a difference!

Please pray for Jon and his family and for all the soldiers and their families, and also for the continued success of Homes for Our Troops!
