.... with a little help from my friends....
It's not all that often that I run across an organization I consider so worthwhile that I'd be willing to stand on a corner and ask folks to give money.
The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund is one such organization that I believe deserves the kind of funding usually reserved for building missile defense shields.
Families who lose a soldier in current operations recieve regular military benefits such as funeral costs, $12,000 death benefit, a continued payment of portion of salary,health care, short term base housing, etc. However often that isn't enough to meet the demands of some families, especially in the long term.
The Intrepid Fallen Heros Fund provides $10,000 grants to each dependent family plus $5,000 grants for each child. 100% of the public money raised goes to military familes. Adminstrative costs are absorbed through The Intrepid Foundation.
This a most worthwhile cause. Please consider a gift to these folks.
You can donate online here or call 1-800-340-HERO.
