I am a member of Team Hope for the Warriors. I joined the Team last year, simply as a way of gaining entry into the NYC marathon. I thought it would be a good experience, and a worth while cause, I would run the marathon and be done. Little did I realize how impacted I would be by the work this organization does and the courage of the men and women they serve. Never have I seen an organization do so much with so little. Hope for the Warriors has earned this rating and deserves our support, financially and emotionally. I ran the marathon in 2010. I am running it again in 2011 as part of Team H4W, not because I needed the entry, but because it's the least I could do.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Running on Team H4W and volunteering as a race committee member.

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Find them a corporate sponsor so they could afford to hire more resources to achieve their mission.

More feedback...

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Definitely

Life-changing

Did the organization use your time wisely?

Very Well

Would you recommend this group to a friend?

Definitely

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)

I have definitely met some great people with similar interests, as well as service men and women whose sacrifices help me keep a healthy perspective on my own problems.

How did this volunteer experience make you feel?

Humble. Nothing I can do as a volunteer can compare to the sacrifices that our soldiers are willing to make for the rest of us.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2011

I am an active duty Marine and was stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC when Hope For The Warriors (H4W) started. I have also personally seen the positive impact the organization has had on the lives of injured servicemembers. My wife has volunteered and worked for H4W since the beginning and her personal stories are both heartwrenching and fulfilling. H4W is not a coporation, business or like any other nonprofit that you see out there. H4W is composed of employees, volunteers, donors and others who do what they do only because they want to help our nation's heroes. Compare any other organization's financial statics or list of employees and volunteers--NO COMPARISON.

I have started a community based Team Hope For The Warriors in Tampa, FL. We want to raise the level of awareness of H4W while participating in events around the state. I want to ensure that WE NEVER FORGET and ALWAYS support those who have given life and limb for our country.
