HOME FRONT HEARTS
Invite reviews
I've been volunteering with Home Front Hearts for about 6 months now and have witnessed absolute miracles! Randi and her team jump into action to help military families with anything they need -- no questions asked. Home Front Hearts truly changes lives. Randi is one of the most dedicated, selfless people I know. She treats volunteers with the utmost respect and provides an extremely encouraging and supportive environment.

Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
not change a thing! Well, if I had the power to grant them additional funding to assist hundreds more, I would!
The power and worth of any organization stems from the authentic values underneath. By this measure, HFH stands very tall indeed. With her husband on the front lines in Afghanistan, Randi Cairns experienced firsthand the challenges on the home front. Caring for children, keeping a one-adult household afloat, and making ends meet, Randi found the compassion and strength to build an organization to serve others like her.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Find a way for its chief executive to dedicate herself to it full time, and get 2-3 great full-time lieutenants as well.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Seeing the incredible dedication of its leader, Randi Cairns.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Committed, tireless, driven.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Make an enormous difference in an area where we have an unforgivable void in this country: care and resources for military families.
Ways to make it better...
This organization has more resources so that they could increase their important work.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Resources, and awareness in this country - which begs the question: how could there not be awareness when we are (still) fighting two wars abroad?
One thing I'd also say is that...
Please consider going to www.homefronthearts.org and giving a gift of any size. Families on the Home Front need and deserve your help.

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!

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.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
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.
