Soldiers Angels took and found my husband an angel and they have been such a godsend to our family. Im so thankful for this organization. My husband has been deployed over the last year and they havent done anything but above what Ive ever expected to have had happen. I cant think of one thing Id change with them they are great thank you for everything!
Soldiers Angels is a way for anyone, anywhere to help give personal support to a service member. You can either send support through the organization, or directly to a soldier by adopting one! This lets you really get to know that person's situation, needs and wishes. My soldier likes rap music, peanutbutter cups and new socks.
I found Soldiers Angels will looking for a charity to donate hand made (crocheted) blankets. I send finished ones to VA hospitals to support wounded veterans through them. I'm up to 18 and counting blankets sent since last fall. I have become involved in several other groups within the organization serving soldiers and veterans, including "adopting" two who are currently serving in Afghanistan. It is a commitment of love and caring that I am happy to make. They bring you in to wanting to do more and feeling valued for everything that you can do.
I have been involved with Soldier's Angels for almost two years now and I fell in love with them right from the very beginning. The idea of being able to give back to our soldiers who sacrifice so much for us is so exciting to me! I am very grateful that I found Soldier's Angels and I am proud to be a part of this wonderful organization.
My family has been involved with Soldiers' Angels for over 6 years. The organization is very helpful and well repected in our area. People in our area love to volunteer to help them out. The effort that is closest to our heart is the Blankets of hope. Our family has organized an annual event in our hometown of Bowie, Maryland for 5 years. The number of volunteers continues to grow as do the number of blankets. Last year we made 352 homemade blankets in just 8 hours to comfort injured warriors. Soldiers Angels has made it so easy to help them. The founder Patti Patton-Bader has always been available to assist with any questions. My husband has also been at Fisher House picnics where Soldiers' Angels gave out modified laptop computers to amputees, we have assisted in purchasing dress uniforms for Soldiers to attend their commanding officers funeral. The number of good things that Soldiers Angels does could never be covered in this review, but they are a wonderful organization full of people with big hearts, and even more patriotism than you can believe. Every year after our blanket making event has concluded people start to ask, "when will the next event be?" Both Patti and Marianne (she received the blankets in Germany for distibution) call in to the event to inspire people and move them to tears with stories of just how much these blankets mean to the injured men and women soldiers. My familt and community enjoys working with the outstanding non-profit Soldiers Angels. We look forward to many more years of affiliation.
I have been a volunteer with Soldiers Angels for over 4 yrs now. I have had the humbling experience of adopting several soldiers. I am always in awe of the sacrifice these men and women make everyday. Since becoming a member I have also assisted in a few of their special projects like quilting blankets and sending support cards to soldiers I have not even adopted. Now my nephews are reciepients of some very kind Soldiers Angels who have found the time to adopt them and make thier deployment to Afghanistan a little bit better
