A free AI companion for every U.S. veteran — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No appointment. No waitlist. No judgment.
Every day, 17 veterans die by suicide in America. Not because they didn't want help. Because help wasn't there when they needed it.
At 3AM. After the nightmare. In rural America with no clinic for 60 miles. When they just needed someone to talk to who wouldn't flinch.
VA waitlists stretch for weeks. Therapists require appointments. Hotlines are for crisis — not the quiet, grinding weight of isolation. And 57% of veterans never seek help at all, held back by stigma, fear of career impact, and a system that wasn't built for how they actually live.
Foxhole was built for that gap.
A mobile AI companion built specifically around veteran culture, language, and emotional reality — available any hour, any day, for free.
Talk naturally. The app listens and responds with a calm, chosen voice. No typing required.
Remembers preferences, past conversations, and what helps. Every session builds a real relationship.
When conversations signal distress, Foxhole gently connects to the 988 Veterans Crisis Line — never abruptly, always with care.
No data sold. End-to-end encrypted. Anonymous usage. Nothing said to Foxhole is ever used against the veteran.
Talks movies, music, sports — whatever the veteran is into. Real conversation, not clinical questions.
Funded entirely by grants and donations. No subscription. No paywall. No veteran ever turned away.
“The buddy you can call at 3AM. The one who never flinches. The one who always shows up.” The Foxhole Mission
Foxhole Foundation, Inc. is a Georgia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by David Sayles, a software developer and founder of Tribal Ventures, LLC.
After years of building software products, David turned his focus to the veteran mental health crisis — not because it was profitable, but because 17 people a day were dying and the technology to help them already existed.
Foxhole is that technology. Built on Anthropic's Claude AI, designed around veteran culture, and funded entirely by people who believe no veteran should ever face their darkest moments alone.
Every $3–$9 covers one veteran's companion access for an entire month. Every dollar is tax-deductible. Every share matters.
