But the Operation Finally Home team can't do it alone.
Â
After finding patriots to donate the land and the bulk of the building materials, Operation Finally Home has to come up with around $98,500 to finish building one home.
Â
And as a non-profit organization, the only way they can come up with that money is with the help of generous, patriotic Americans throughout the country who understand the sacrifices our veterans and first responders make for you and me every single day.
Â
So friend, after all Operation Finally Home has done for Cory, our two young children, and me, I have to ask you for this favor...
Â
Will you please help Operation Finally Home continue to do God's work by providing mortgage-free homes to injured combat veterans and their families like mine?
Â
Dan Wallrath, Operation Finally Home founder, saw the plight of our veterans who came home from Iraq and Afghanistan with brain injuries, without limbs, with severe burns, and much more.
Â
Many of these brave warriors can't dress themselves, get up and down stairs on their own, or remember simple tasks.
Â
Never mind secure a job that can pay the rent and put food on the table.
Â
That's why Dan and his team does whatever it takes to make sure combat veterans like Cory can live peacefully.
Â
-If a veteran in a wheelchair needs low sinks to be able to brush his or her own teeth or help with the dishes at dinnertime – they build it.
Â
-If a veteran who's lost his legs or arms – or both – needs a motorized lift to get in and out of the tub without the help of a spouse or parent – they build it.
Â
-If a veteran needs a plain, dark room to retreat to when everyday sights and sounds trigger their PTSD – they build it.
Â
And the best part is, they give these homes to families like mine 100% mortgage-free so heroes like Cory never have to spend another night worrying:
Â
"How will I ever take care of my family again?"
Â
Please, help Dan and Operation Finally Home continue to bless families like mine by making a tax-deductible contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more today?
Â
Every day is a struggle for American heroes like my husband.
Â
He served his country, lost his eye for you and me. He lost his memory. And he's losing his day-to-day life trying to fix himself.
Â
But thanks to Operation Finally Home, the weight of wondering how we'll survive has been lifted off our shoulders.
Â
And if you can help lift that weight off the shoulders of more wounded veterans and their families by sending a generous gift of $25, $50, $100 or more to Operation Finally Home today, I pray that you will.
Â
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
Â
And thank you in advance for your generosity.
Â
Sincerely,
Â
Shala Hixson
