In this emotional and powerful episode, TMFK and Tyler Hucky Bear sit down with Kimberly Vesey, Executive Director of Building Homes for Heroes, a nonprofit that has changed lives since 2006 by gifting mortgage-free, fully accessible homes to wounded veterans and first responders.
Kimberly shares her journey from prosecutor to nonprofit leader, inspired by her brother’s devastating injuries in Iraq. Together, they explore how tragedy transformed into purpose — and how Building Homes for Heroes has now built or gifted over 450 homes across 37 states, operating with 96% of every dollar going directly to the mission.
The conversation moves from the personal to the powerful — from the realities of traumatic brain injuries and VA struggles, to moments of joy as families walk into their new homes for the first time.
