DONATIONS Dear Military Families and Friends,
Some of you may remember helping out my son, Aaron, last fall with your "gently used" furnishings to help him set up housekeeping in his "bachelor pad" when he got out of the Marine Corps after 5 years. He had just returned from his 3rd deployment, a very difficult assignment where 1 in 4 were wounded or killed in his battalion, and his own 22 man team. Trust me when I say he was amazed at the love and support from his New Hampshire military family in decorating his little mobile home "a la thrifty"...it was such a blessing.
Since he has been home, he has decided to continue to serve his country, this time in the Army Reserves.
Now it's his turn to give back and help others as he runs for his brothers in the "Run for Home Base" in Boston with the Red Sox to raise funds for New England's wounded, brain injured and stress related injuries, as well as their families. As he runs he will run for New England warriors, and also in honor of 4 members of his 22 man Afghan Police Mentor team, PMT-2 3/5 "Dark Horse" Battalion, who lost limbs and suffered severe traumatic brain injury.
In order to run he must raise $1000...this is where we ask if you can help support him. Please do not feel pressure to give...there are so many needs out there.
If you should decide this is something you want to do, here is the important info:
