Wounded Warriors – Family Support

 

Our mission is to provide support to the families of those who have been wounded, injured or killed during combat operations. The families of our casualties suffer in many ways: some financially, some psychologically.

 

American Heart Association

 

The American Heart Association has been working to save and improve lives from heart disease and stroke for more than 90 years, with scientific research at the core of all our efforts.

 

In fact, heart disease deaths have declined so steadily over the decades that we are eagerly awaiting the day when it is no longer the leading cause of death in the U.S. We’ve already seen the stroke death rate drop – from the No. 3 cause of death in the U.S. to No. 5 over just five years. Our core research programs have launched or furthered the work of many of this country’s brightest CVD and stroke researchers. Building on the strength of those programs, we’ve added research awards that foster team science and accelerate discovery as we relentlessly search for innovative solutions.

 

St. Jude Children’s Research hospital

 

The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.

 

Doctors Without Borders

 

Amid the Parisian upheavals of May 1968, a group of young doctors decided to go and help victims of wars and major disasters. This new brand of humanitarianism would reinvent the concept of emergency aid. They were to become Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), known internationally in English as Doctors Without Borders.

 

American Diabetes Association

 

Our Mission: To prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. Every day 4,110 people are diagnosed with diabetes. That means they’re much more likely to go blind. To die of a heart attack. To lose a limb. Now is your chance to help.

Fisher House       

Fisher House Foundation is best known for a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment. These homes are located at major military and VA medical centers nationwide, close to the medical center or hospital they serve.

Easterseals provides opportunities for people of all ages with a range of disabilities to achieve their full potential. Together, we’re changing the way the world defines and views disability.

 

With a network nationwide, we’re proud to serve approximately 1.5 million people with disabilities and their families.

Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s

 

The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s (AFA) mission is to provide optimal care and services to individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses and to their families and caregivers.

To date, AFA has trained more than 13,000 healthcare professionals in dementia-specific care, provided free, confidential memory screenings to nearly 3.5 million people, and provides support, counseling and education to thousands.

 

ASPCA

 

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world.

Our organization was founded on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans and must be protected under the law.
