Soldiers In Need – Part 1

Yesterday, I posted information on Operation Homefront, which is an organization that provides assistance to soldiers and their families in need. This blog post is part 1 of 3 posts to highlight the real needs that these real people have. They have sacrificed so much to defend our freedoms and to keep us all safe. Now they need our help.

On November 22, 2008, a wounded soldier and his family lost their home to a fire. The soldier, along with his wife and young daughter, were away from home when the fire started. Although the fire department responded quickly, it was a total loss. The soldier and his family lost clothing, furniture and all personal items due to the devastating fire and were forced to relocate to a hotel, until they can find a permanent home to rent. The family's savings have been depleted because of the cost of hotel, food and living essentials. The family did not have insurance. They cannot afford to remain in the hotel much longer and have been diligently seeking a place to live. The soldier and his family are in need of furniture, clothing, household items and assistance with the security deposits associated with their new residence. Source: Oklahoma Soldier in Need
