Helping an Army Combat Veteran Fight to Keep His Home

For one U.S. Army combat Veteran in Louisiana, the challenges of military service didn’t end when he returned home from Afghanistan.

After serving our country and earning the Combat Action Badge, this Veteran has faced a different kind of battle: the possibility of losing the home he worked to maintain.

Living with a service-connected disability and relying primarily on disability benefits, he found himself struggling to keep up with his mortgage. Despite efforts to modify his home loan and work through financial challenges, his mortgage fell seriously behind, placing him at risk of foreclosure.

Without another place to turn for housing, the prospect of losing his home created an urgent need for assistance.

Through the 2026 Pancakes for Roger Veterans Housing Support & Improvement Grant Program, this Army Veteran received $1,500 in mortgage assistance, with funds sent directly to his mortgage provider.

Although the grant does not eliminate his outstanding mortgage balance, it provides meaningful financial support as he continues working through available mortgage assistance programs and efforts to preserve his home.

For this Veteran, the assistance represents more than financial relief. It’s a reminder that the country he served has not forgotten him and that he doesn’t have to face every challenge alone.

Sometimes, making a meaningful difference means standing beside a Veteran who has already sacrificed so much and helping him continue the fight to keep the place he calls home.

That's what Pancakes for Roger is all about: Creating pathways to improve the lives of Veterans and their communities.
