Dr. Travis Hammons had just finished a 15-month tour of duty in Iraq when he came to PeopleFund for a loan. As a military dentist, he took care of our frontline soldiers and earned the Army Commendation Medal for exceptional service. As a civilian, he wanted to open his own practice, but lacked the cash on hand to fund it himself. After being turned down for a bank loan, PeopleFund was able to extend a $100,000 loan to Dr. Hammons for his now thriving practice. Together, PeopleFund and Dr. Hammons empower returning veterans to create stable careers for themselves and others.
Miles of Freedom
Funding and support provided to Miles of Freedom is being used to expand its land maintenance and lawn care social enterprise as well as provide employment for two individuals participating in the organization's workforce re-entry program.
