Why Foxhole exists
Becka Karle, cofounder and head of product and partnerships, lives with a traumatic brain injury and complex PTSD. A close friend, a veteran, once told her she was no less than a veteran: her brain carried the same wounds. Foxhole is built in his honor.
Military life was never abstract to her. Her brother spent four years as a cadet at Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, Texas, rising to captain of the drill team. At the Marine Military Ball she saw the pride of those early years, and over time she saw how heavy the weight can become later down the line. She’s grateful her brother is still here. Foxhole exists so more families can say the same.
She worked with Chris at Patriot Power Up for a year, building out an alumni program so a veteran still has a place to come back to long after discharge.
