I give because they gave. On average I donate about 30 hours a week to help Thank A Hero Foundation meet the goals they have to eliminate military suicide by being there to help hold up the Heroes in need. I pack care packages and mail them (the picture is a recent holiday set of care packages!!), I run and get gift cards for groceries, make utility payments for Heroes, I post all over social media to help raise awareness. I donate every last penny I don't need to live. They are an absolute no more than 2% (in FY2014 they were rated at 2% because that was the year of renewals and filings, in FY2015 they rated at 0%!!) overhead which means that for every dollar they get in NO LESS than 98 cents goes directly to help Heroes. However, because they can't afford to advertise (it takes away from the need) they have very little come in. The board is all volunteer and they often use every penny they don't have an absolute need for, because the mission is THAT important.
