The Recipients of the 2017 BIA Cares Home for a Veteran Have Been Selected
|
Meet Scott and Brooklyn Heideman.
The Heideman’s have just been named successful candidates for the third “Home for a Veteran” to be built by BIA Cares, the non-Profit Arm of the Building Industry Association of Central Kentucky.
The new 2 Story, 3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath home is currently being built on Walcot Way in the Coventry Subdivision and will soon be ready for occupancy. The Heideman’s are pictured choosing paint colors for their new home!
Scott served in the U.S. Army straight out of high school. Separating from Service in August 2016, Scott currently is a full-time student working on a double major in preparation for becoming a local business owner.
Professionally, Brooklyn is a cardiopulmonary technician. She also volunteers at the Thompson Hood Veterans Center in Wilmore, KY, assisting with events for the Veterans, such as outings to Keeneland, Cookouts, or just spending one-on-one time. Scott and Brooklyn met in Middle School at Fort Campbell, KY where both of their Fathers were stationed at the time. Considering themselves Army brats, moving around often has always been a way of life and therefore, the opportunity to have a true “Home” is a dream come true for both of them.
BIA Cares does more than just build homes for Veterans. In the past four years, over 1000 Kentucky Military Families have experienced a Christmas they would not have had with the help of the "Operation Military Cheer" toy & clothing drive, in partnership with the KY National Guard. Families in our community with special needs have received repairs and renovations on their homes to make them more accessible and easier to live in.
The stories are many and the outcome is real...
"Enriching Lives, One Project at a Time."

Our Mission:
To build a better future through active participation in community service projects that support and promote the physical, emotional, and social well-being of Kentucky families.
