“NO VETERAN LEFT BEHIND”
“This is our promise, we have fought together, some have died together in battle against Americas enemies, we promise you before God we have stepped on the battlefield of poverty, sickness, disease and homelessness together, and when we step off the battlefield, we promise you, we will LEAVE NO VETERAN BEHIND suffering poverty, sickness, disease or homelessness”.

Untold numbers were still trapped.

“Our organization of civilian and Veteran volunteers has distributed over 500,000 pounds of donated food products and supplies to homeless Veterans and their families over the past two years. To progress in our efforts we have started a Sleeping Bag Fund to provide some warmth and comfort to those Veterans who otherwise would not have it. Due to recent events we are expanding this effort to assist in helping the Nation of Haiti feed and care for its people. As we have seen from the media coverage there are people sleeping on the ground without any covering. The Sleeping Bag Fund will provide some comfort until more permanent accommodations can be restored. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti.” - Charles Buford, President/CEO

HELP GET MUCH NEEDED SLEEPING BAGS TO HAITI BY DONATING NOW
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Dr. Dufreny, Alphonse for being elected as Chairman of the Make A Wish Veterans, Inc "Haitian Emergency Relief Fund"
America we have a serious problem in this country when a veteran is not ashamed to ask for spare change or beg for a place to sleep when the shelters are full but they are too proud to ask for help to heal, stop self-medicating themselves to death and do whatever it takes to hold their families together. What's wrong with us? As the media reports more and more on P.T.S.D how is it that the numbers of homeless veterans, attempted suicides and successful suicides goes up instead of down? How is it that with years of covering the veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq, they have not managed to get it into our brains that this nation needs to fully mobilize to help them come back home? Lets help our heroes during this harsh winter season by providing new warm sleeping bags for our homeless Veterans. Our goal is to provide at least 3,000 new sleeping bags in the Miami-Dade County area within the next month. Please help us Make A Wish for a Veteran …Today!
