WISHES DO COME TRUE!

I am excited, proud and honored to a part of this amazing organization as a Wish Coordinator.  I will be working part-time from home and couldn't be more eager to get working on granting wishes!

If you know of anyone serving our country that is enduring a hardship, please go to our website and submit a wish!

www.wish4ourheroes.org

The Wish For Our Heroes organization is granting wishes to active service men and woman around the country.  Using every dollar donated to fund these extraordinary wishes is just one of the many things that make this non-profit organization special.  Jeff Wells, president and founder, served in the military and witnessed some of the hardships and challenges that befall many of the men and women protecting our freedoms every day.  From providing common, every day services such as finding childcare to providing travel assistance so soldiers can be reunited with family or the tools necessary to start a business to provide financial stability after military retirement, W4OH is rewarding those who deserve it most, soldiers and their families.

From the W4OH website:

The purpose of our Foundation is very simple – reward our brave men and women who make so many sacrifices for our great nation each and every day.  There are many military-focused non-profit organizations, but the majority of them are geared toward extreme circumstances – severely wounded, amputees, burn victims, soldiers killed in action (KIA).  The purpose of the Phoenix-Wish for Our Heroes Foundation is not only to reward soldiers falling into these extreme categories, but also reward soldiers and their families dealing with the normal strains of military life and deployment.  Most American citizens know someone associated with the Armed Forces and/or the family of an American soldier.  Think of all the sacrifices they make, and think about what we could do to make their lives a little more enjoyable – what can we do to bring a smile to their faces, to give them a small break from the trials, tribulations and strains of their daily lives?
