Born from fire. Refined by trauma. Built through relentless obedience to a God-given calling.
The TRB Hope Foundation wasn’t created in a moment - it was forged across a lifetime of battles: losing a close friend as a teenager, surviving being shot in the line of duty, enduring two total-loss house fires, fighting PTSD, depression, and the deep ache of loss after loss. Through every valley, one truth has remained unshaken:
God is always good. Even when life is not.
Out of that pain came a mandate to spend the rest of my life serving others, lifting the broken, and helping people overcome the storms that nearly destroyed me.
Today, that calling has become a movement.
The TRB Hope Foundation exists to restore hope, fuel faith, and serve people through real, tangible action. Our mission is carried out through four core pillars:
-
Operation Marley – service-dog scholarships and support provided through trusted partner organizations, honoring the legacy of my PTSD service dog.
-
Operation Restore by TRiBe Hope – a faith-anchored peer-support community, mental-health awareness initiative, and resilience training program for veterans, first responders, youth, and anyone fighting silent battles.
-
Kindness Scholarship & Micro-Grant Program – empowering students and young adults to lead with compassion through our LCSS Kindness Scholarship Challenge and upcoming youth micro-grant opportunities.
-
The Hope Fund Portal – providing crisis relief, emergency assistance, and small-scale blessing projects for individuals and families in immediate need.
We also support children and families of fallen or disabled first responders and veterans, and we help bridge people to partner nonprofits, professional resources, and community networks that can walk with them long after the crisis moment passes.
This is not just a foundation.
This is a mission.
A brotherhood.
A rising movement of people who refuse to let others suffer alone.
TRB Hope Foundation is here.
The TRiBe Hope is forming.
And together, we will make the world better, one act of relentless kindness at a time.
