The first project, a children's book addressing brain injury in military families is Now Available!

  See the Latest Reviews! |
This book targets children between the ages of 8-12 who, without any preparation and at a very young age, have been confronted by their mother or father coming home from their military service with a brain injury. Because brain damage is so often invisible, these children are confronted with an especially difficult reality. Although their parent is home from combat and may look like he or she did before deployment, mom or dad does not act or behave the same way they did prior to deployment.
Here is how you can help!
For every $15 you donate we will gift a book to a warrior family!
