We first met this Combat Army Veteran last year when a VFW Post contacted us about one of their members needing food assistance after the mother of his children suffered a medical emergency leaving him to work full time and take care of his three children. Just prior to this incident, this Hero adopted three of his sister’s children.

The Woods n Water crew showed up with food to stock up their pantry and gave his house a good cleaning. The Veteran did what he was trained to do…. he improvised, adapted and has been overcoming the situation. But, life decided to throw another challenge at him. Now he has moved his mother in and she has two children from the Veteran’s sister. Bringing the total headcount of children to EIGHT!!!

We are asking for your help to make this Hero Family’s Christmas brighter than what they have all been through for the past year. Imagine what all of the children are going through. The Veteran’s biological children having their home and way of life disrupted, the sister’s children’s lives also being disrupted and having to relocate. Let’s pull together and do our best to give this family some Christmas cheer!!!
