The Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund opened up our programs to assist the severely disabled veteran families as well with college, financial, emotional and morale support programs. Recently due to our limited staff and higher than usual applicants have had to place the disabled veteran financial program for new applicants on a temporary hold. If you are a severely disabled veteran and are in need of financial assistance, please contact your local VA Office who should be able to provide you with a number of outside resources and feel free to visit our other resources page.
Our organization has provided more than $4,300,000.00 in educational, financial and morale support programs that includes, but is not limited to emergency housing, utilities, food, clothing, vehicle repairs, other lodging for families with life threatening medical needs, funeral expense that includes over $420,000.00 in funds to assist two other charitable organizations so that they can continue serving our severely disabled veterans and their families. Many of our children have been a part of our programs for over ten years with some graduating High School and enrolling in colleges and universities throughout the States.
The Department of Defense has reported 6,919 casualties as of November 2011 and 32,223 wounded servicemembers from the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. An estimated 5,000 or more military children have lost a parent to combat and more have come home and taken their own lives after their service or while still active in the service.
The Pentagon reported that, since the advent of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars through March 2008, there have been over 78,000 American men and women wounded, injured, and ill from the wars. In addition, over 320,000 vets experienced traumatic brain injury while deployed in these wars. These vets were hospitalized for a brief period and then sent home to recuperate. The burden of caring for such vets fell on their parents, spouses, and other family members. An additional 200,000 became homeless because of mental and physical injuries from the wars.
In 2014, the latest year available, more than 7,400 veterans took their own lives, accounting for 18 percent of all suicides in America. Veterans make up less than 9 percent of the U.S. population.
We have helped many of our military veterans and their dependents over the past 10 years and are amazed that so many others in the civilian sector have never heard of the 22 a day epidemic our veterans have succumbed to. The suicide rate amongst our veterans affect the very core of the family and the direct pain inflicted on their children is so devastating often leaving their children with feelings of guilt, shame and their own PTSD. PTSD and TBI are hidden wounds, silent to some, but very apparent to the veteran and his or her loved ones.
The Veterans Crisis Line connects Veterans in crisis and their families and friends with qualified, caring Department of Veterans Affairs responders through a confidential toll-free hotline, online chat, or text. Veterans and their loved ones can call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, chat online, or send a text message to 838255 to receive confidential support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Support for deaf and hard of hearing individuals is available.
Please remember all who have served and lost their lives and the many others who have returned home and fight through endless months and sometimes years of paperwork and VA appointments. Many of our veterans end up homeless waiting for benefits they and their family deserve and then so many others take their own lives after their return home.
Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD
The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in increased numbers of veterans with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). The Department of Defense and the Defense and Veteran's Brain Injury Center estimated that 22% of all combat casualties from these conflicts are brain injuries. Sixty to eighty percent of soldiers who have other blast injuries may also have TBI. You can learn more about TBI and PTSD in search engines or click here
