America\u2019s youth is giving back to America\u2019s heroes.<\/p>\n

The national nonprofit Building Homes for Heroes (BHH) builds, modifies and gifts mortgage-free homes to injured veterans<\/a>, first responders and Gold Star families (who have lost a U.S. military service member while he or she was serving).<\/p>\n

The New York-based organization has recently teamed up with local high-school students<\/a> from The Villages Charter School (TVCS) Construction Management Academy in Florida.<\/p>\n

In May, BHH unveiled two new homes to veterans in Lake Panasoffkee, Florida, gifted to U.S. Army<\/a> Specialist Rajae Jones and U.S. Army Sergeant James Tabares and their families.<\/p>\n

The homes were built from the ground up by TVCS students in partnership with BHH, requiring them to perform hands-on work, learn a new trade and give back to their community.<\/p>\n

Kim Vesey, president and general counsel of BHH President, reflected on the recent projects and partnership with TVCS.<\/p>\n

“It’s a really phenomenal program, and we’re so lucky to have been able to partner with them,” she said in an interview with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Together, the organization and student program have built several houses for veterans<\/a>, starting in 2024 with a family who had been “really struggling,” Vesey said.<\/p>\n

The family had reportedly lived in transitional housing while the husband struggled with a military injury and PTSD, which made it difficult to keep a job.<\/p>\n

“They just found themselves in this cycle of endless struggle,” Vesey said. “They had two young boys, and they were really trying so hard.”<\/p>\n

The family was gifted the first home built by TVCS students and BHH. Now, both sons work at the school, and the veteran runs a program at the School of Autism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I really can’t say enough great things about the opportunity that the school is giving to these students,” Vesey said. “The hands-on ability to not just go into a classroom and learn a trade, but to also give back to their community at the same time and to change people’s lives and see it firsthand … being able to have that kind of impact on the world and realizing that what you do matters \u2014 I can’t imagine how much that helps.”<\/p>\n

Recent TVCS graduate Blake Tart, 18, shared his experience in a separate interview with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“My experience with Building Homes for Heroes was very cool \u2013 seeing the project go from a spot of sand to a finished and decorated house,” he said. “I will take the hard work and lessons learned with me into my next career path, and the most valuable lesson is that I can work on all of this myself at my own home one day.”<\/p>\n

Tart, who comes from a family of veterans, said he and his fellow classmates showed up every day and “worked our hardest” for the veterans receiving homes.<\/p>\n

“We were never satisfied with good enough \u2013 we wanted it to be perfect,” he said. “The community should always lend a helping hand to those who have served and need some help.”<\/p>\n

BHH has a presence in 37 U.S. states, but Florida has seen the highest demand for housing<\/a> among veterans, according to Vesey. She emphasized the importance of people having a wider understanding of why former service members may need extra help.<\/p>\n

“People don’t find themselves in situations where they can’t provide for their family out of intent,” Vesey said. “Any one of us are just a few paychecks away from being in a situation where we are unable to provide for our families.”<\/p>\n

“Our veterans go into the military to serve their country<\/a> for so many different reasons, and many of them go into that thinking it’s going to be a full-time career, just as if you’re a teacher or a lawyer or a doctor\u2026 and that’s your retirement, that’s your savings, that’s everything you need to support your family,” she went on.<\/p>\n

“So, when you go into the military thinking you’re going to put 30 years into that career, and it gets cut short because you’re injured, it’s a high risk.”<\/p>\n

Many veterans who leave the military after an injury don\u2019t have a stable place to live, a college degree or a back-up career.<\/p>\n

“You haven\u2019t put down roots because you\u2019ve served your country for 10 years \u2026 There is no fallback plan,” Vesey said. “When people enter this high-risk career and that career is cut short through no fault of their own to serve our country, I think it’s paramount that our country is there to serve them.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
