A WARRIOR'S WISH

U.S. Army Cpl. Shane Parsons was wounded during an Iraq mission Sept. 30, 2006 when his humvee rolled over a road side bomb. He died twice before reaching the Combat Support Hospital. He was treated and transferred to Germany for more surgery, and then transferred to Walter Reed Hospital for additional treatment. Cpl. Parsons has lost both legs, 60% of his vision and suffered severe head trauma. Cindy Parsons, a single mother, left her home and job to be at her son's side through mulitple surgeries and lengthy stays around the country. One would think that this family was facing it's toughest challenge, however, the story begins here...

The mission of Hope for the Warriors™ is to enhance quality of life for US Service Members and their families nationwide who have been adversely affected by injuries or death in the line of duty. Hope for the Warriors™ actively seeks to ensure that the sacrifices of wounded and fallen warriors and their families are never forgotten nor their needs unmet, particularly with regard to the short and long-term care of the severely injured.

On their own, our service members and their families are awe inspiring in the face of their disabilities and hardships - courageous and resolute. However, it is with the support of a grateful nation that they remain unfaltering in their determination and find hope and purpose beyond recovery. As a united support network, all individuals, whether of great or small means, can find an opportunity to honor those who have willingly sacrificed to defend and protect our freedom. We invite you to take part in the inspirational lives of these young men and women and make it known that they never stand alone.

To accomplish our mission, we have designed special programs that allow and encourage community involvement. We welcome you to read through our website to learn more about how we help and how you can too.
