history
The HOPE Project was founded in 2016 by Dr. David Trogdon, Chaplain, (LTC) US Army, Ret. Following 33 years of dedicated military service, David remains motivated by his commitment to serving veterans and their families. His expertise in trauma, combat stress, child loss, grief, and addiction has shaped his mission. After learning about the transformative power of equine-assisted therapy, David felt compelled to establish the HOPE Project, providing support and healing to veterans, first responders, and anyone in need.
