TESTIMONIALS
The Stories That Matter.
The Indianapolis Recorder
Lanny Crabens is a retired veteran who joined Heroes Without A Home in 2017. Crabens was in the Air Force from 1980 - 1987. Crabens said he not only wanted to serve his country, but he also joined the Air Force to get into electronic warfare because of his fascination with the rise of electronics around that time.
Crabens came back home in 1987, where life for him had changed drastically. He had a difficult time finding a home and a job. The places where Crabens could find housing were in unsafe areas, and he noticed many people did not respect him for serving in the military.
Crabens said it was difficult for him to adjust to normal life after his time in the military. He found Heroes Without a Home while living in a homeless shelter.
"It's allowed me to get my purpose back," Crabens said, adding that the program has a "wonderful environment."
Crabens is currently in school for cyber security and is living in one of the homes the program has provided for him.

CEO/ Founder of Heroes Without A Home
“I try to help a lot of veterans with a lot of different things.” He says many veterans need help, but they are too proud to ask for it, or they don’t know where to find it. Fagan says there are many resources and programs veterans can take advantage of, but they need help from the community to find them. He says the first step in the process is earning a veteran’s trust. Once you do that, he says, they are more open to accepting help.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
