HOME FRONT HEARTS
Invite reviews
Randi and HomeFront Hearts goes above and beyond what anyone would ever expect in her treatment and caring of veterans, military and their families. If there is any way the organization can assist those who need them, HFH will be there. The organization got the community involved and caring - it collected clothing, schoolo supplies and more to send over to Afghanistan. HFH made the Christmas/Hannukah holidays special for a number of military families.

In my current position, I encounter, on a daily basis, many organizations claiming to, "walk-the-walk-and-talk-the-talk." However, as a professional in the field, of ensuring the needs of veterans and their respective families, I find some come-up short. Home Front Hearts, I find to be truly sincere. If you haven't met the folks, from this organization, you're at a tremendous loss, to truly understand, the real meaning of caring. I salute the folks at Home Front Hearts, for their significant efforts. I feel comfortable knowing, there are folks like Randi and her staff, still walking the planet. I've spent over 40 years in a military uniform, and am a vietnam veteran. I guess, I am slightly qualified in my assessment, of this dynamic organization of, HOME-FRONT-HEARTS....

I've had the pleasure of working with Home Front Hearts on numerous occasions and their services, expertise and knowledge of available resources is second to none. I met Randi Cairns, Executive Director for Home Front Hearts, when I was trying to find services for a wounded warrior and his family who were in dire straits. Home Front Hearts worked miracles for this family, and for many other families that I've referred to them. No matter the need, Randi and Home Front Hearts goes above and beyond to assist military families. This organization does more with less than any other organization I've come in contact with. Randi's talent for determining true needs, finding resources and helping military families should make some of the larger, well-funded non-profits working in this area take notice - she kicks their butts!
The Great!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Absolutely amazing!
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
revolutionize the services that are provided to military members and their families.

I work at a nursery school in NJ and we wanted to do something for a military family during this past holiday season. I checked on my computer to see who we could help. I found Home Front Hearts and it seemed like the perfect choice. It was exactly what we were looking for. I contacted Ronnie Cairns and asked how and what we could do to help one or more of these military families. She responded with several suggestions and we decided to go with purchasing items for a family of her choice. The families connected with our school responded with "open hearts". We were able to purchase toys, bedding, shoes and a computer. We were also able to make two truck payments and one mortgage payment. We were truly honored to do this. It was such a positive experience for all the children who attend our school. They helped gather and sort all the items and pack and ship them off. I must say that everyone connected and involved with this non-profit organization are wonderful, caring people. We hope to do this again this year.

I have been witness to the dedicated and committed efforts of the Founder/Exective Director in forming this much needed organization. By serving and supporting the families that serve on behalf of all our citizens, greater communiies are forged in the process.

If this organization had 10 milllion dollars it could expand the provision of comprehensive services to a national level to better address the comprehensive needs of military families.

Home Front Hearts is an organization that truly inspires. This nonprofit has such a clear mission to serve the most deserving and underappreciated "members" of our military - the families left at home. I witnessed first hand the dedication of the staff and their "whatever it takes to get the job done" work ethics. I had a front row seat to the beginnings of Home Front Hearts when the Director was herself managing a family left at home while her husband served our country. The fact that this nonprofit could be born during the time of her own personal needs demonstrates the ambition and drive that carries through this entire organization. If you want to help you should reach out to Home Front Hearts and if you need help you should reach out to Home Front Hearts. You won't be disappointed.

make sure that not a single military family had to do without or worry about a thing while their loved one was serving our country.

This non- profit organization was a blessing to me. In my time of need, and during my pregnancy Home Front Hearts took the initative to assist me in my financial needs takes a huge worry off my shoulders. Their assistance and help was truly a privilege and a greatly appreciated deed. Especially their Director Randi Cairns, she is a great person.

I was in San Antonio for 6 months with my warrior son who was airlifted back to the states with a brain tumor. Home Front Hearts, as well as other organizations, helped to pay my rent, car note, and utilities while I was in Texas. Otherwise, I would not have had the opportunity to stay that long with my son. He has terminal cancer. Home Front Hearts was invaluable. Randi Cairns is a wonderful and caring person. 5 star rating

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I received funding for my rent, car payment, and utilities while I was in Texas for 6 months with my ("warrior") son who is very ill with brain cancer. Randi offered to help me even since being back home. This organization cares about soldiers/families!

Help so many "wounded and sick warriors" and their families. The time spent away from home and work is costly in more ways than one.

As the Executive Director of a non-profit organization that is dedicated to small, little known organizations often begun by an inspired and inspiring individual (also known as a "good person")I have years of experience meeting and working with amazing visionaries who identify a need in this world and are dedicated to addressing that need. Randi Cairns, the inspiration behind Home Front Hearts and the good work it does, is one of those visionaries. As the wife of a National Guardsman who has left his wife and children on numerous occasions to serve our country, Randi had first-hand knowledge of the specific problems faced by National Guard families and has worked tirelessly to resolve many of those difficulties. HFH has developed an extensive online database of resources which are accessed by many Guard families. They have responded to specific needs, with the help of donors, when appropriate and Randi spends a considerable amount of time on the phone offering her (own)experience and expertise to those who come to her for help.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
my interaction with the founder and watching her tackle difficult problems with little regard for her own time and responsibilities.

HFH could improve the lives of many service people and their families with far less than "10 million bucks." If the organization received even modest support, the founder could draw a salary and devote even more time to this mission.
