PTSD Foundation of America
Aug 03, 2026
Kenny Thomas is the General Manager for the PTSD Foundation of America Dallas/Fort Worth chapter. The Dallas/Fort Worth chapter supports veterans and family members in their community. The interim housing program the PTSD Foundation of America provides is called Camp Hope. Camp Hope is a peer-to-peer program for combat veterans with PTSD. Mr. Thomas has been working with combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder through peer-to-peer mentoring and discipleship since 2016. In 2017 he created the transitional phase of the program and significantly increased the successful transition of our combat veterans into everyday life. Mr. Thomas served four years in the 101st Airborne 1-187 Infantry from 2000-to 2004. He deployed to Afghanistan in October of 2001 in combat operations. After a 10-month tour in Afghanistan, Mr. Thomas deployed to Iraq in December of 2003 and spent 12 months in combat operations. After his honorable discharge, Mr. Thomas went to Wallace State University, where he obtained his associate degree in respiratory therapy, all while struggling with combat-related PTSD. Kenny was a registered respiratory therapist for 9 years before coming into the program and changing career paths. Mr. Thomas struggled with PTSD and suicidal ideations for 12 years before he finally made it to Camp Hope and found healing through his peers, faith, and comradery.
