Wounded Soldier's Backpack Project

Feb-15-2004 » Filed Under: Link of Interest

Patti, a frequent visitor who runs the Soldier's Angels Foundation, is seeking donations for her Wounded Soldier's Backpack Project. Provided below are the basics, but you can visit her website (link above) to learn more and make a donation.

*****

Soldier’s Angels Foundation has been working together with World Prep, designers of emergency response kits, to put together a backpack which can be given to each wounded soldier that arrives at Landstuhl Hospital in Germany. When our wounded arrive at this hospital they have only what they are wearing and it is often several weeks before their personal belongings catch up to them. These backpacks will ensure that our soldiers have a little love from home to comfort them.

Each backpack will contain:

· Full Comfort Kit

· Sweat Pants (LG, Black)

· Military Brown T-Shirt (LG)

· AT&T Phone Card

Each Comfort Kit consists of personal hygiene products and will be placed inside the backpack with the other items mentioned above.

Each complete backpack will cost $50.00. This is an incredible price for all that is included and will certainly help to comfort our soldiers in a time of great need.

It is our goal to be able to give each soldier this comfort pack upon their arrival to the hospital.

For your donation of $50.00 a backpack will be sent in your name.

Donations for any amount will be gladly accepted.

Please help us accomplish the task of letting our wounded know that we are here for them and will never forget the sacrifices they have made for us as “Defenders of Freedom”.
