In 2005, Katherin helped establish what would become the PTSD Foundation of America and Camp Hope, ignited by a Sunday School fundraiser aimed at supporting combat veterans struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder—an issue that was largely misunderstood at the time.

Over the past twenty years, she's witnessed the evolution of barely having two pennies to rub together to launching impactful “boots on the ground” initiatives. This included hiring David Maulsby to find and minister to homeless Vets on the streets of Houston, to developing “Warrior Groups”, forming other chapters around the United States, and ultimately leading to the establishment of Camp Hope in 2012 when the founder’s family purchased five acres, envisioning Camp Hope as a sanctuary for healing combat veterans.

Having worn many hats—from Accounting and Marketing to Human Resources and IT—Katherin currently serves as the Director of Finance, Board Treasurer, and Board Secretary. Her unwavering commitment has allowed her to work alongside extraordinary Americans, witnessing the profound impact of the foundation on countless lives. Every day, she is inspired by the miracles of healing she sees within the veteran community.

Katherin’s deep love for the military is rooted in family history, with stories and photos dating back to before the Revolutionary War, instilling in her a profound sense of honor and pride. With a heart dedicated to serving those who have sacrificed so much for freedom, she remains committed to supporting military personnel and first responders.
