Happy 10th Anniversary to Homes For Our Troops!
Frets Nirvana, longtime supporter and contact for Homes For Our Troops in Second Life in conjunction with the US Military Veterans Group, announces the September 2024 10 year anniversary of supporting the Veterans Support Organization Home For Our Troops in Second Life at Veteran’s Isle .
Frets Nirvana states: “HFOT is a privately funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization building specially adapted, mortgage-free homes nationwide for the most severely injured Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of these Veterans are multiple amputees, paraplegic, quadriplegic or have suffered severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since its inception in 2004, nearly 90 cents of every dollar spent by Homes for Our Troop has gone to directly support Veterans. DURING THAT TIME HFOT HAS BUILT 393 SPECIALLY ADAPTED HOMES NATIONWIDE FOR EXTREMELY INJURED VETERANS.”
The month of September is special because it marks the 10 year anniversary of supporting HFOT in Second Life. As a result it will be a month long series of benefit concerts as well as raffles and prizes that benefit this important cause. One special raffle will be for a completely furnished home from Vila Ballamos and its creator Chillee Hernandoz. The current schedule is:

Chalupa Digs aka Vila Ballamos House Up For Raffle:
Chillee Hernandoz has situated the Chalupa Digs Design fully loaded house for you to walk through at the Events Park on the U.S. Military Veterans Sim!
You can go over to the stage and buy yourself a raffle ticket or two (or three, or...) and try to win yourself a fully furnished home, all to benefit Homes for Our Troops!
Click this link to go to the Raffle House. This house is available for raffle until September 29th. Don't miss out!
I did go tour the house and took some pictures to show you, I did not take photos of each room because if you want to see it you can go and tour it but the pics were to give you a little bit of a sneak peek at it. The raffle tickets are 250L each and you can pay into the Raffle board for your ticket. See pics below:
Raffle Board
Front of Chalupa Digs
Grand Staircase and entry
Kitchen of the house (Adult)
Parlour Room (behind staircase) Notice you can change the window textures
Waterfall on second floor (My favorite waterfall of the house)
Back of the house ground level (I love the design on the wall)
Back of the house ground level (Imagine entertaining here)
Now there are more rooms there to explore but as I mentioned I did not take pictures of the whole house so that I don't spoil it for you. I will say that I toured it once alone and apparently missed several rooms because when I went back with my partner I found a laundry room and two more bathrooms and bedroom I didn't know was in there. My favorite room is over the music room though, love the decor in there. So for 250L you may be a lucky winner and get this grand house as your prize. The proceeds goes to Homes For Our Troops.
If you cannot make it to any of these events and still want to help out with Homes For Our Troops, you can drop a donation into the kiosk at the Splintered Creations or send one directly to
Frets Nirvana. Anything and everything helps, thank you!
