What Your Donations can do for Military Families

As promised, below is a list of how your $10, $25, $50 and $100 donation will help wounded service members and military families.  Like I said before, I don’t like to look at donations this way.  I believe that everyone’s donation together makes a significant impact.  However, I recognize that for some people, this is what they like to see.

Hope For The Warriors® offers a full cycle of care from bedside to reintegration and beyond.  We offer ten distinct programs for combat wounded service members, their families, and families of the fallen.

Our military families incur many expenses while they stay at or near military medical centers, never leaving their wounded service member’s side.  Many of these expenses are low in dollar amount but add up very quickly as the days extend to weeks.  At the same time, parents and spouses have left their jobs to become full-time caregivers.

Beyond the medical centers, our programs address the needs of our military families as they take their steps towards recovery. 

Hope For The Warriors® uses your $10 donation to:
  • Pay for meals at the hospital cafeteria
  • Cover the expense of laundry service
  • Provide basic necessities, toiletries and more
  • Supply our athletes with gels/drinks while competing in marathons and other races
  • Covers the expense of shipping key supplies to military families throughout the country
  • Contribute towards a larger expense that will support our military families
Hope For The Warriors® uses your $25 donation to:
  • Race registration fee for a wounded service member returning to sports for rehabilitation
  • School supplies for a spouse returning to college, preparing to take on the role of “breadwinner”
  • Groceries to stock a small kitchen, near a military medical hospital
  • An association membership to support networking opportunities in a new career field
  • A Team jersey for a service member on Team Hope For The Warriors®
  • Hope For The Warriors® golf shirt for a warrior learning this rehabilitative sport
  • Contribute towards a larger expense that will support our military families
Hope For The Warriors® uses your $50 donation to:
  • A cell phone to use while in an inpatient program
  • A cycling helmet for a handcyclist
  • Gas cards to travel to hospital visits, events and races
  • A text book for a spouse returning to school
