The Everyday Heroes Alliance
About The Program
Monthly donations are a critical part of the support we depend upon at The Independence Fund. Knowing gifts are coming in allows us to budget for our programming and outreach for Veterans, their families and Caregivers.
Everyday there are Veterans who…
- Are suffering with mobility limitations and a loss of independence.
- Are trying to work through mental illness challenges caused by PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and more on their own.
Everyday there are family members…
- Providing unconditional love and support to a hero no matter the personal cost.
- Who join the fight at home to help their hero battle obstacles to healing.
Everyday a Caregiver...
- Selflessly works to meet their Veteran’s needs for support.
- Prioritizes their Veteran’s recovery and sense of dignity over their own needs.
