I first made contact with Doraliza in 2008, when she was living in a boarding house in Orange County. Her parents and most of her family members were back in Puerto Rico, her homeland, and the only person she had any contact with was her niece. Intelligent and educated, Doraliza had served in the Army Medical Corp in Iraq. She …
2018 is going to be a great year, but of course, we have to make it great. As time goes by, we realize that the needs of our young veterans and their families change, and we need to stay relevant to those needs. As a nation, we have to keep these young men and women at the forefront of our …
We had another successful Christmas by WHOA’s Santas and helpers. Not to say that Santa had it easy. On the contrary, it took several Santas, a bunch of elves, lots of friends, and plenty of community members to make the operation happen. There are so many people to thank, and if not for their help, we couldn’t have had a …
Every December, Santa and his helpers get really busy at WHOA. Operation Santa 2017 has started in earnest this weekend. We have approximately 200 children of our Fallen and Wounded Warriors on Santa’s list this year and while most are here in So Cal, we also have kids in many other states including the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. Operation Santa …
Here at Wounded Heroes of America, we are a family of Combat Wounded Veterans. Our mission is deeply personal, and our veterans are never too far away to be in our hearts. Today we are urgently asking for help for one of our combat wounded vets who is living in rural Puerto Rico, and is working tirelessly to rebuild her …
When we say that “the resources we need to make life better for our combat wounded are in the community”, it’s not just a theory; it’s a fact. Wounded Heroes of America is not a huge national foundation with millions of dollars sitting in an annuity collecting interest. It’s a regional foundation operating on a shoestring budget. And yet those …
First things first. We’d like to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our participants and sponsors, our vets, and most importantly, the volunteers who made our 18th Annual Golf Tournament a great success and a wonderful show of support for our Combat Wounded. Some great, and some not so great, golf was played, and there was plenty of …
Every year, the LA County Fair hosts the families of combat wounded vets for a day of fun. This is one of our annual events that fills up fast, and one everyone looks forward to attending. We often say that the resources we need to make life better for our combat wounded are in the community, and LA County Fair …
From the first day Wounded Heroes of America was founded, we knew we could create long-lasting relationships if we fostered an environment of continual contact rather than that of one-time-assistance and on to the next vets. We’ve designed many of our programs specifically with that goal in mind. We weren’t sure what the exact benefits of such an environment would …
At Wounded Heroes of America, we believe that it’s not just the government’s obligation to take care of our combat wounded but that it’s also our collective responsibility. And with the help of our friends in the community, it’s not that hard to do. Americans love their veterans, and we have proven time and again that there are many wonderful …
