As a veteran I've seen so many great nonprofits help us, but Soldier’s Wish stands out as one that truly makes a difference. I'm excited to see how far they'll go in the years to come!

Soldiers Wish is a fantastic organization with a heart of gold for our military community. I’ve witnessed several wishes granted by them at different events, and have joined them as a volunteer at specific events because of their mission and the impact on our community.

Although not a veteran myself, I have two sons - one a retired Army veteran and one still serving in the OK Army National Guard. My wife and I have taken part with multiple organizations honoring military service over the past 20+ years and we migrate to those that make lasting impacts and contributions.

Soldiers Wish is one of those at the top of our list.

Soldiers Wish is an outstanding organization that genuinely cares for veterans. When I needed help obtaining a service dog, they stepped in without hesitation. Without their support, I wouldn’t have my service dog today – a companion who has already made a life-changing impact on me.

Their compassion, efficiency, and dedication made the entire process seamless. Thanks to their generosity, I now have a loyal partner by my side who offers me both comfort and confidence in my daily life.

I am deeply grateful for Soldiers Wish and the incredible work they do. If you’re a veteran in need or looking for a cause to support, I highly recommend them. They are truly making a difference, one veteran at a time.

Soldiers Wish is a great organization. My daughter was diagnosed with CRPS in 2021. After exhausting traditional medicine routes we found a treatment that was not covered by insurance at Spero Clinic in Fayetteville Arkansas. Soldiers Wish partnered with us and ran a campaign to help finance some of her treatment. She is now in remission and we could not have done it without this great organization. Thank you so much for your generosity and support.

I was needing help with my roof because of the Father’s Day storm. Solders Wish stepped in and organized with two roofing companies Turner Roofing and Firehouse Roofing to provide me with a new roof. One volunteered their workers and one volunteered materials. Solder wish is an awesome organization. They help veterans in need of help, that they cannot get done on their own.

Soldiers Wish is always there when Veterans have a need or Wish! As a previous Volunteer with a Veterans Service Organization, I asked for their assistance for a Veteran in need, more than once. One particular collaboration effort with their team was put out to help a Vietnam Veteran in need and was a huge successl! Mission accomplished.

The teamwork began between the Organizations worked to assist a Vietnam Veteran who had no transportation. He walked for miles into town to help care for his family. Soldiers Wish was able to fulfill the Wish of granting him a working vehicle. He was filled with so much gratitude and you could see the weight lift from his shoulders after having to walk for miles and care for his family while also battling COPD. This kind of determination and teamwork is what makes Soldiers Wish an Organization to trust and believe in. Sean, Payton, Lyndsay and Mayor Wimpee have put together an Organtization that gifts life back to the Veteran Community. They are determined to work efficiently as a team and create a fullfiled Wish. This is one I will never forget.

The wishes that are granted mean so much to our Veterans, and I know their team will continue to not only grant Wishes, but more so, provide hope, smiles and yes, a renewal of life. Keep going and keep focus on your Veterans, Soldiers Wish! Each Wish granted is another blessing and Soldiers Wish maintains this vision.

Soldiers Wish is an amazing nonprofit that meets the unspoken needs of Veterans. I am honored to be a volunteer for this organization. Being a Veteran myself, I was deeply honored when someone nominated me for a wish! I am self employed and run a mobile service company. My service (personal) truck had engine issues which depleted my bank account. The month after my engine was repaired, my transmission went out. This amazing organization paid for me to get a rebuilt transmission!! I will be forever grateful to Soldiers Wish!

Thank you,

One of the ways I cope with my PTSD is by wood working. I wanted to get more detailed with some of the stuff I created and looked in to getting a laser engraver. However, they were way out of my price range. That's when my wife submitted my name to Soldier's Wish. Sure enough they pulled through and provided me with a Glowforge Aura laser. I am beyond grateful and blessed. If you are a veteran or service member reach out to them. Or if you want to help a great organization then Soldier's Wish is a great choice. Also, Sean was amazing! He was great to work with and easy to talk with me! GREAT ORGANIZATION!

I was struggling mentally due to financial hardship and when I reached out they were extremely responsive and quick acting which immediately took a huge weight off my shoulder. I can sleep peacefully tonight knowing I am in a better place. This organization truly epitomises "having a veterans six". I can't put into words how humbly greatful I am! Organizations like this takes donations and truly uses them for good!

We worked with Soldiers Wish at a charity event as well as attended some of their events. We have heard wonderful stories about how they have helped the military and veteran community. They certainly live up to the hype. They were thoughtful, attentive, caring, and took the initiative to make sure they military community is taken care of. We plan to work with them much more in the future and continue to support their wonderful mission.

My name is Dr. Daniel Brewer and I am the Commander of the American Legion Post 30 in Albany, GA. Recently I had the opportunity to work with Soldier’s Wish and to help a disabled veteran in need. Through the generosity of Soldier’s Wish, our organization was recently able to award a $5,000 gift to a very deserving individual who has a large student loan. This person has been going to school in an attempt to change professions due to his physical disability and limitations in his current employment. This award will allow him to get caught up on his educational debt and continue his schooling. He was very appreciative of the gift and it was rewarding to witness his sincere gratitude. Dan Brewer

It has been heartwarming to witness all the varied ways that Soldier's Wish helps our military. What I like about Soldier's Wish is the flexibility it has to target the exact need of the person. Wish requests are nominated by friends, family, organizations, or the person themselves. With this process, it is easy to identify what the person really needs whether the need is small or large. I am proud of the work that Soldier’s Wish provides to the military community.

I’ve witnessed the impact this organization has made in the lives of numerous veterans and military families. From providing wheelchairs and ramps for disabled veterans to sending grocery cards and Christmas gifts to families in need, Soldier’s Wish spreads hope and fulfills needs that would have otherwise gone unmet.

I’ve been privileged to see Soldier’s Wish in action. They meet veterans’ and military families’ unique needs and fill in the gaps where other charities fall short. They grant wishes that have longevity and high impact as well as honoring all those who have served or continue to serve.

I have been to several Soldiers Wish events over the years and it is amazing to see the generosity that overflows from this organization. Veterans are often missed and this group rarely asks for assistance. To see the joy that granting wishes brings to them and their families is something everyone should be a part of. Continue doing the good work you do Soldiers Wish!

Soldier's Wish is an outstanding organization, designed to help Veterans and their families. Each wish fills an unmet need or gap that other support groups have been unable to fulfill. Great group of people who are willing to go the extra mile!

I was invited to attend an annual event hosted by Soldier's Wish in Tulsa, OK, over Veteran's Day 2021. Among the attendees were individuals chosen to receive previously unmet needs in their lives.

One such recipient had only been identified the day prior to the event, as he lived in an apartment complex nearby and was curious about what was taking place as he witnessed the event setup unfolding. The gentleman made his way down to the setup and in the conversation that ensued between the future recipient and one of the board members present for setup, it was determined the Army Reserve Master Sergeant would not be able to spend the holidays with his extended family due to financial constraints.

The Master Sergeant was invited to attend the event free of charge and was completely shocked to not only be publicly recognized but also awarded a check on behalf of Soldier's Wish to cover airline travel to see his family for Thanksgiving.

It was truly an honor to witness not only the care that Soldier's Wish had for this complete stranger but also their flexibility in granting a last-minute wish to a service member in need. That moment has left a lasting impression on me and is the reason I felt so strongly to leave this review so others can see how much this organization cares about our service members and their families.
