A Home That Rebuilt a Life” — the story of Army veteran Sean Karpf

After stepping on an IED in Afghanistan, Army Sergeant Sean Karpf faced years of surgeries, rehab, and the long, slow work of rebuilding a life altered by injury. What changed everything was not a single miracle but a community-backed act of care: Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) built and donated a specially adapted, mortgage-free home designed around Sean’s needs — roll-in shower, widened doorways, lowered counters, a 360° outdoor walkway and dozens of other adaptations. The day Sean turned the key and walked into that home with his family, he described it as more than a house: “Homes For Our Troops helped me rebuild my environment. Together, they’ve given me the foundation to move forward, not just as a veteran, but as a husband, father, and business owner.” WWP News & Media

HFOT’s mission is exactly this: build and donate specially adapted, mortgage-free homes to severely injured post-9/11 veterans so they can regain independence and focus on recovery and family. Since 2004 HFOT has delivered hundreds of homes and continues to partner with organizations (like Wounded Warrior Project) and local communities to make these long-term, tangible commitments to veterans and their families. For recipients like Sean, the gratitude is palpable — not just for shelter, but for restored dignity, daily independence, and the practical ability to be present for their loved ones.
