Thank You To Our Holiday Donors For Helping  Veteran Families Have A Wonderful Holiday Season

We are so grateful to the individuals who have adopted a veteran caregiver or family this holiday season.
Each year with the generosity of others we are able to help make the holidays a little brighter for our Hidden Heroes and Wounded Warrior families. The many others that apply for support that we are unable to help reminds us there are so many more veterans and families in need whose lives are made more difficult due to the consequences of Invisible Wounds of War.

​  OUR MISSION

​​
​As an organization, we recognize the long-term consequences for veterans and families who live with invisible wounds of war and provide them support where possible while advocating for the person in the trenches every day, the veteran spouse who needs help navigating their role as a caregiver.
​
Veteran caregivers and their families sacrifice daily for their wounded warrior. Our mission is to support these hidden heroes on their journey to create a home — and a life — that is once again whole by providing education, resources and support.
PTSD combat veteran spouses and their families have sacrificed so much.  Despite this, these strong individuals and families express their deep love for their veteran, cherishing the good days and trudging through the more difficult stretches as they struggle to hold their families together.

OUR PROGRAMS

​We stand up for those who stand by those who served. Through personal communication, a private Facebook group, small gifts, and more, our programs offer support to spouses and families touched by the effects of PTSD, traumatic brain injury, or both.  

​CAREGIVER MEMBERSHIP

You are not alone. If someone you love is dealing with the trauma of combat exposure, it can be difficult to know how to support them. ​PTSD affects more than the mental health of the individual — it also impacts the person's family and friends.
