LAND O’ LAKES, FLORIDA [MARCH 27, 2026] — The Tunnel to Towers Foundation welcomes three families to its Let Us Do Good Village in Land O’ Lakes, Florida.

About the Tunnel to Towers Foundation Let Us Do Good Village

The Let Us Do Good Village is a unique community of nearly 100 homes provided mortgage-free to catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, as well as Gold Star and Fallen First Responder families. The entire neighborhood is designed with accessibility in mind, creating a supportive and inclusive community for our nation’s heroes.

Sergeant Michael Mather, ARMY

Army Sergeant Michael Mather enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in 1999, serving nine years as an F-15 mechanic before transitioning to the Army as a Fire Support Specialist, deploying 11 times in support of combat operations.

On October 11, 2008, while serving in Baghdad, Sergeant Mather was shot in the face and neck by an enemy sniper. Despite his injuries, he continued directing fire to protect his unit. He sustained a traumatic brain injury, severe nerve damage, and hearing loss, and now faces lifelong medical challenges related to nerve function, mobility, and cognitive effects.

He is looking forward to moving into the Let Us Do Good Village and his new mortgage-free smart home, where he plans to focus on family, faith, and advocating for fellow wounded veterans.

“This smart home will make everyday tasks that once caused me pain or felt impossible manageable,” said Sgt. Mather. “Tunnel to Towers is giving me more independence and allowing me to spend more of my energy on what matters, time with my wife and family. It’s more than a house; it’s a gift of freedom.”

Recruit Officer Victor Moses, Denver Police Department

Denver Police Department Police Officer Recruit Victor Moses joined the Department in September 2022.

During one of the final training exercises at the policy academy, he suffered a traumatic injury and lost consciousness. He spent more than 60 days in a coma in the ICU. Doctors diagnosed him with compartment syndrome, which led to kidney failure, lung failure, and severe infections. The infections caused extensive damage to the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels in all of his extremities.

He ultimately underwent bilateral below-knee amputations and suffered severe damage to his right hand and partial damage to his left. As he continues to adapt to life in the wake of his injuries, Recruit Officer Moses looks forward to moving into an accessible home and supportive community in Land O’ Lakes.

When I found out about the Let Us Do Good Village, I saw it as an opportunity to settle down and become part of a community,” said Recruit Officer Moses. 

Sergeant Joshua Tromanhauser, ARMY

Motivated to enlist by the September 11 attacks, Army Sergeant Joshua Tromanhauser joined the Army National Guard in 2006 after graduating from high school. He served for nearly a decade, including a year-long deployment to Afghanistan from 2009 to 2010, and left the Guard as a Sergeant.

In 2024, Sgt. Tromanhauser rushed to the emergency room due to complications from both the flu and pneumonia. His body went into toxic shock, and he would spend more than 100 days in five hospitals, as he battled multiple complications that ultimately resulted in the amputation of both of his legs.

He is looking forward to a fresh start, moving from Indiana with his wife, Nicole, and their three children into a mortgage-free smart home in the Let Us Do Good Village.

“We were looking for a fresh start, and Tunnel to Towers came to us at the perfect time. This is such a blessing,” said Sgt. Tromanhauser.

For the family, the Village will offer both accessibility and peace of mind. “You don’t realize how inaccessible the world really is until you have someone you love in a wheelchair. To have no obstacles in our entire neighborhood, or that he can safely get the kids into the pool by himself, it’s going to be another piece of his independence he is getting back,” said his wife, Nicole. 

Tunnel to Towers Smart Home Program

The Tunnel to Towers Smart Home Program builds specially adapted mortgage-free smart homes that help our most catastrophically injured veterans and first responders reclaim their day-to-day independence. 

“Tunnel to Towers is honored to welcome these three families into the Let Us Do Good Village. A community built for America’s heroes and their families,” said Frank Siller, Chairman and CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. “In the Let Us Do Good Village, every home, every street, every amenity is accessible, giving them back the independence and dignity they have earned.”

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, 25 years since FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller laid down his life to save others when America was attacked. For 25 years, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has honored Stephen’s legacy by supporting the military and first responders who continue to risk life and limb in the line of duty. 

To date, Tunnel to Towers has delivered over 1,700 mortgage-free homes to our nation’s heroes and committed over $1 billion across all of our programs.

This year, the Foundation has set a goal to deliver 343 mortgage-free homes to catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, as well as Gold Star families and families of fallen first responders who leave behind young children.
