Hello my friend, My name is Sondra Julian and I am a mother sending her son off to war for the first time. Many people ask me if I am afraid that he may be killed in Iraq and my response is, "Of course, I'm terrified, for all of the soldiers. But my main concern is not as much with his safety, as it is with his mental health condition upon his return." There are an alarmingly high number of troops returning from war who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I feel compelled to do something to help these young men and women, along with any military personnel past or present, suffering from PTSD caused by being in war....

Our 1st National Campaign:
|
|
|
Presenting "Operation 15 for 15"
|
|
|
At any given time, there are approximately 130,000 troops stationed in a combat zone. The average time of deployment is 15 months, not to mention any additional tours of duty. With Operation 15 for 15, our goal is for 130,000 people to donate $15 - that's only 1 dollar for each month a soldier is deployed, to sponsor a HERO who is stationed in harm's way. These troops are giving 15 months of their lives to protect our freedom - surely you can give 25¢ a week to insure their restored mental health once they return. With 130,000 people giving simply $15, this one campaign alone will generate $1,950,000! Just think about how many HEROS could be assured the free mental health care they may need when returning home to their families and communities. When you donate to the Military HEROS Foundation, your name will be included on our Thanks page. You may sponsor a non-named soldier as a general gesture of support, or sponsor a specific loved one, and their name will be included along with yours. Please use these buttons to donate through PayPal for the "Operation 15 for 15" campaign. Click the 1st button to make a $15 donation. If you would like to donate a different amount, please use the 2nd button. You'll have the opportunity to include a comment or the name of the HERO you are sponsoring with your donation. Please JOIN US, and lets make a life-changing difference together!

PTSD is not because you're weak, it's because you're human!
