North Texas Veteran's Relief Fund

Its that time of year again for the Hotter N' Hell Hundred, and once again I will be raising funds to help make Base Camp Lindsey a reality. We are so close to completing our Demolition phase of the project thanks to countless volunteer hours, but we need to finish the last couple of projects by September so we can set up for our Haunted House. All funds raised from this years fundraiser will be used to finish off these demo projects so we can get started on Construction, which we are all very excited about. Just because we dont have our facility up and running yet doesn't mean we haven't already been making an impact, with 2025 being our busiest year yet. So far we have already helped 8 veterans with temporary housing assistance and two active duty military members with assistance. This will be my last year attempting the 100 mile route for a bit, so lets make it the best yet. I appreciate all your support over the years to help end veteran homelessness in North Texas.

Base Camp Lindsey is building a transitional living home for homeless Veterans in Wichita Falls, Texas. We have purchased an empty nursing home that we are restoring that will be able to house 25 Veterans at a time.

Last year, we were able to get five Veterans off the street and into permanent housing. We've already helped four Veterans this year, and it's only March! We need our building open, but the costs are slowing us down.

We are completing the demolition phase and are already $210,000 into the building! Our next step in this process is to do the rough-in plumbing and replace all drain lines in the building since the current ones are unusable. Since we have a concrete foundation, the plumbers will need to trench through concrete to lay drains for toilets, showers, sinks, and the laundry room. The quote right now is $110,000 and we need your help!

This will be my second year riding in the Hotter n Hell 100 mile Bike Race to raise funds for Base Camp Lindsey. Around 15,000 people come out from around the country for this endurance race in the Texas heat. Last year I was only able to complete the 75 mile ride, but this year I think I have what it takes to finish the 100 mile route. If you want to make a per mile donation, race day is August 26th. Flat donations are appreciated as well. I'll be sure to update this page regularly. Prayers for our homeless veterans, Base Camp Lindsey, and a safe ride day are also greatly appreciated. I was really overwhelmed with all the generosity last year, and hope to raise more funds to help stock our homeless veterans food pantry, and provide much needed hygiene kits. Base Camp Lindsey has made a lot of progress this last year getting closer to being able to open it's doors for housing as well. I am excited for this year's race and appreciate your support.

They would have a safe roof over their head as we work to find them a more permanent housing solution and ensure that their needs, whether financial, medical, or mental, will be met in the long term. The office will be the site for all paperwork and social services assistance. Please get all donations in by 9/4.
