A New Chapter Begins: Introducing the BBRT Assistance App

For years, Battle Buddy Response Team has relied on phone calls, emails, and social media messages to connect people with help. Today, we’re excited to launch the BBRT Assistance App, a new way for individuals to request assistance, connect with volunteers, access helpful resources, and support our mission from anywhere in the world.

This app represents an important step forward in how we serve our community. While our mission remains the same, we’re making it easier than ever for those in need to reach out and for volunteers to answer the call.

This is just the beginning. We’ll continue improving the app with new features, expanded resources, and additional ways to connect people with hope, support, and one another.

Thank you to everyone who has believed in our mission and helped make this next chapter possible.

Happy 7th Birthday to Battle Buddy Response Team® — Celebrating 7 Years of Service

 

On April 25, 2026, we proudly celebrate 7 years since the doors of Battle Buddy Response Team® first opened in 2019 with one mission:

Serving veterans and their families — and working every day to stop and prevent veteran suicide.

What began as an idea built from pain, experience, and a deep love for our veteran community has grown into a movement of hope. Over the last seven years, Battle Buddy Response Team® has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, answered calls for help across the country, stood beside veterans in their darkest moments, helped families in crisis, provided emergency support, and reminded countless heroes that they are not alone.

We have celebrated victories.
We have faced heartbreak.
We have shown up — one knock at a time.

This organization was built on grit, compassion, sacrifice, and the belief that when a veteran is struggling, someone should be willing to answer the call and physically stand beside them.

To every volunteer, donor, supporter, partner organization, and veteran who has trusted us over these seven years:

Thank you.
You are part of this story.
You are part of this family.
And you are helping build something bigger than all of us.

As we enter Year 7, our commitment remains stronger than ever. We are focused on expanding our reach, building stronger infrastructure, hiring veterans, increasing emergency response capabilities, and continuing to serve those who once served us.

The mission continues.
The fight continues.
And Battle Buddy Response Team® is just getting started.

From all of us — thank you for believing in this mission.

Happy 7th Birthday, Battle Buddy Response Team®

Serving Veterans and Their Families
One knock at a time.

Battle Buddy Response Team® Completes Critical Roof Replacement Project for a Texas Veteran 

The Battle Buddy Response Team® (BBRT) is proud to announce the successful launch and completion of a critical home repair project in Texas for a veteran in need of a new roof.

Because of the generosity of our supporters, BBRT was able to raise the funds necessary to cover the full cost for a licensed roofing company to remove and install a brand-new roof for this veteran’s home.

This project represents exactly why Battle Buddy Response Team® exists.

We are committed to continuing projects like this for veterans who are quietly struggling—not only with unsafe living conditions, but also with the emotional and mental strain that comes with post-traumatic stress, service-connected injuries, and other disabilities.

When a veteran cannot afford a necessary home repair, does not know who to contact for help, or feels overwhelmed by life circumstances, that burden quickly becomes compounded. For many, the stress of a failing home and unmet needs directly impacts their mental health and overall stability.

BBRT shows up to help relieve that pressure.

We cannot promise that we always have the perfect solution—but we do promise to pursue the best possible solution every time a veteran or their loved one reaches out for help.

Since launching in 2019, Battle Buddy Response Team® has responded to requests for assistance in all 50 states and Canada after concerned family members, friends, and community members contacted us on behalf of veterans in crisis. Every response is handled with discretion, respect, and compassion.

To date, our team has logged more than 500,000 miles traveling to veterans and their families in need.

Looking ahead, our fundraising goal for 2026 is $1,000,000.

Each response we make can cost anywhere from $500 to more than $40,000, depending on the needs of the veteran and the resources required to provide meaningful support.

While we strive to respond to every request for help, there are times when limited volunteer availability and funding prevent us from answering every call.

With continued community support, Battle Buddy Response Team® can expand our reach, increase response capacity, and take an important next step—hiring employees to strengthen operations and ensure veterans receive timely, consistent, and professional support nationwide.

Thank you for standing with us.

Thank you for believing in our mission.

Thank you for helping us continue to serve those who served.
