This is an amazing organization guided by the passion and leadership of Cindy McGrew and her team that work purely from their heart. OSC provide so much to help in transitioning injured war heroes back to civilian life. It's easy to donate money and time to help OSC grow and spread its love/service to those that have served our country. Thank you ALL!

My family and I are so lucky of been part of the generosity of this organization, not only in the material side but in the personal side their care is sincere and they are always finding a way to help you through the rough times; I don't have enough words to say thank you for your care and the way that my family and I are treated with respect and love.

We were transferred to WRAMC on June 2009 where we met Cindy and since them she has served our family with entertainment and the fine purpose to dismantle our minds of the stressful time with medical issues, appointments and retirement paperwork

Operation Second Chance has been the best. Because of them I have been able to go and do things that I would most likely not get to do until way in the future. Not to mention they have given me the opportunity do things that I have never done nor ever thought of doing. I will continue to to work with Operation Second Chance even after I have healed, because then I will work on giving back what has been given to me to future Wounded Warriors!!!!!!! Thank You to Everyone at Operation Second Chance and all the Donors and Volunteers, Spc Ed Rose, U.S. Army Reserves, Injured 2011.

On 12/21/10, my husband, stepped on an IED while on foot patrol in Kandahar Afganistan. We have been at Walter Reed, since. Our small family of 4 have relocated to the Bethesda MD area to support our Hero in his recovery to the "New Normal." Operation Second Chance has been able to help us have some type of normality, in this concrete jungle that is not our home. They assisted in helping people within the community, adopt our family last year for Christmas. Making our Christmas truely a blessed event. They have also helped us to have fun within the community. Helping my daughter (who's 17years old) have a little fun in a strange place. They are always willing to help and are so compassionate. We love Operation Second Chance.

Discovered Operation Second Chance in 2007 and learned of their extraordinary work supporting returning hero's like Andrew Kinnard , my son's roommate at Navy. Joined Ride Allegheny to start raising money to help OSC continue their support of returning hero's that have given so much. Cindy McGrew, OSC's founder, is one of the most inspirational, dedicated and committed individuals I have ever met. She is a true professional that committed to doing what is necessary to support these young men and women and their many unique needs during their recovery.

This is a fantastic organization that feels like a family. The people who run it are extremely warm and caring. It’s obvious they truly care about the wounded warriors that the help on a daily basis. I raised funds for OSC this year and it’s good to know that the vast majority of that money is spent on the soldiers who need it and not nonprofit organizational overhead.

I raised funds for OSC this year as part of Ride Allegheny, a bike ride that raises money exclusively for OSC every year. I looked into the organization to know what I was asking of my family and friends and I can say I felt so good working on behalf of Cindy and OSC. It is efficient, small, local and truly impactful. I spent time with Cindy and met some veterans with her on the ride this year and was so proud to have helped her cause. I recommend her work 100% and can't wait to help again next year with this worthy, important mission.

OSC does absolutely wonderful work for soldiers and their families who are making a very difficult transition back to civilian society. The work they do on a daily basis is making the difference is so many lives. These are dedicated people who have caring hearts and respect for our military heroes. I am honored to be associated with them.

Due to the fact that the Va and the Army are very slowly processing my claim I have had some depression issues and there have been times that I did not know how I was going to support my family. I started a google search and I found Operation Second Chance not only did they help me by gifting me gift cards to buy some food but they also have been able to get me out of the house on some wonderful trips and events and they have even had some events for my wife. This is one of the best organization out there I do believe.
