You may have heard of Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization who's mission is to provide "emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors." We highly recommend that you peruse their extensive website where you can learn about how to get assistance, what the organization does to provide help, what current needs are waiting to be addressed, how you can donate, or how you can get involved.
- The Wounded Warrior Wives Newsletter
What makes this organization different from other Veteran Assistance programs is the Operation Homefront's Wounded Warriors Wives, that focuses on bringing together a community of women caring for warriors. The newsletter provides great information for wives including how to maintain hope, how to deal as a caregiver, and current legislation to help veterans and caregivers. The Wounded Warrior Wives also has a link to the blog, Wife of a Wounded Solider, which we follow regularly.
While supplies last, the organization is giving away a free gift courtesy of the Wal-Mart Foundation and Arboonne International. I did not know what to expect when I signed up, but the package I received was a pleasant surprise!
- The free gift arrived in this adorable box and ribbon.
- The contents of the free gift... movies, books, lotions, notecards and stamps, and more!
It was a stressful week when I received the package. What a great idea, to honor the wives that work hard to maintain the home while dealing with the complications that come with dealing with physical & mental issues of their veteran spouse. I actually cried when I opened up the package because I just couldn't believe that they had been so nice as to think of me in all of this. It was great to know that a network of women are there to share ideas, information, and support. You can sign up for free here and receive your own package while supplies last!
