The specific purpose of this
nonprofit Corporation is to provide in times of crisis or special needs,
advocacy for and emotional and financial support of, the families of
our nation’s deployed active duty military services personnel, members
of National Guard, Military Reserves, members of the military services
who have been injured while on duty, sworn public safety officers,
first responders and firefighters.
He served honorably with the US Army's Bravo Company
20TH Engineers Task Force 1/12 Chargers stationed in Sadr City, Iraq from 2005-06. He's now
receiving treatment at Fort Bliss Wounded Warrior Transition Unit
and Active Duty with Bravo Company 4th Platoon
in Texas. His wife wanted to be part of his recovery and drove
the family car to El Paso to be at his side. As the price of gas has
risen, hopes to return home with her 7 week old newborn and 2 year old
son dimmed and became a hardship for mom and dad.
Help us make this Independence Day have some special meaning for an
Army Soldier by helping to get his family home while he continues his
recovery so he can come home soon too.
The goal… enough for a tune up of the family car, an older but
reliable Buick, lodging for a safe trip and not have to worry
being caught short of funds if something happens along the way. We hope
to raise up to $1,000 or gas cards that mom can receive via Express
Mail. Frequent travelers with free hotel nights can donate them as well.
PDN, Inc will assist in making all the arrangements.
Thanks to our donors so far, prepaid gas cards and Pep
Boys gift card will sent
overnight and if all goes well for the balance needed for food and
lodging, the family will be on their way home by Wednesday or Thursday.
(after the tune up and oil change at Pep Boys Store #706 near Ft. Bliss) Our
thanks to Jose for helping make that happen.
You will be able to monitor their progress on the map below and Operation
Ready Families Program will be working with the family when the arrive home.
Mom wants to thanks all of you for getting us to the half way mark and
assuring they can be on their way soon.

From
our humble beginnings in the year 2000, PDN has supported group after
group, mission after mission in advancing support for our troops, our
veterans and their families. It's been the loyal volunteers of PDN and
our allied groups that put boots on the ground to solve problems. None
has been to small, few have been too large.
That
single-minded purpose takes on even greater importance as returning
troops face readjustment to civilian life or continuing service to our
nation. Their families too have unexpected special needs and we're here to serve
them where possible. This site is a tribute to all of them. We salute
as well,
those who step up to serve as volunteers here in our Homeland.
With an operation cost of less
than $500 per month we do a lot with a little!
