My best friend’s daughter, an Army wife, recently made me aware of an organization called The Battle Buddy Foundation. She volunteers with the chapter near Fort Stewart, GA, and asked me to publicize the cause.
From their website:
Our mission is to ensure that Veterans and their families receive programs and services that will help them acclimate back to family and civilian life. We will accomplish this by:
Providing highly trained psychiatric and mobility service dogs to veterans of all eras suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury, and physical limitations at no cost.
Connecting Veterans to employment opportunities within our network of Veteran-focused organizations.
Building a community of peer support for Veterans and their families through programs, events, and social media.
The Battle Buddy Foundation was founded by Veterans to serve Veterans. All our efforts are aimed at effecting long term and positive change in the lives of combat veterans and their families.
