A friend of mine volunteers her time at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center here in DC. She also volunteers for a foundation that helps soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, Helping Our Heroes Foundation.

The foundation is trying to raise $40,000 to help soldiers who may lose their homes or cars, or who’re otherwise in a financial bind because of their service and injuries. Unlike other organizations, the foundation has no paid staff, and the money goes directly to the soldiers and their families.

Please consider giving to this foundation. The men and women risking life and limb to protect us need your help.
