It is our mission
to
provide support and comfort to our returning heroes. Our future endeavors
will depend on support from the community and from our members. We pledge
that 100% of all contributions will go directly to the soldier or their family and
no funds will be used to cover administrative services. It is important to
us that all contributions reach the individuals they were meant to assist.
We want to continue to
support our returning warriors and their families as they deal with the stress
and worry of financial strain as well as the physical and emotional stress
related to recovery. Being near to their loved one is an important part of
the recovery process, and for many families it means a great deal of financial
sacrifice to spend the hours needed to help their loved one recover from the
injuries of war. We want to help with these various needs as they
arise for both the soldier and their family.
We believe every Warrior
wants to get better, we call upon you for donations, because we believe with
your help we can make a difference.
