Wounded Warrior Homes Inc

Wounded Warrior Homes, not to be confused with Wounded Warrior Project, is a homegrown charity that provides post 9/11 PTSD and brain-injured veterans with transitional housing, services and resources and has been doing so in North San Diego County for almost 12 years. We discovered WWH some 7-8 years ago and were impressed with its mission and that it was meeting its mission via three homes, serving these veterans while assisting them with their transition back into the community. This all was begun by a local couple who wanted to make a difference, and that is what they are doing. My husband and I have been active in their efforts ever since and have become donors as well.

Leadership and staff are unparalleled in their commitment to the cause, helping our wounded warriors that have fought so valiantly for our freedoms. They are well organized, financially responsible and have excellent follow-thru. They are creative in their fundraising and have excellent community support. They are a pleasure to work with and I encourage others to help this terrific organization and our soldiers.

I have worked with Wounded Warrior Homes since 2009 and watched it grow into the effective organization that it is today serving the hidden wounds of our post-9/11 veterans who suffer from PTSD and/or traumatic Brain Injury.

We have witnessed the care and dedication of Wounded Warrior Homes to the Veteran community. They are steadfast in their commitment to the mission, which makes volunteers like us want to support their efforts. In a time when transitional housing and support services are so important for those who have sacrificed so much, Wounded Warrion Homes is the bridge to a new life.

We donated a cottage to Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) that was installed as an ADU at one of the residences WWH operates to provide transitional housing for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. Mia and Steve Roseberry, the Founders of Wounded Warrior Homes, are great people who are dedicated to our veterans. WWH does great work for our veterans. We are proud to partner Mia and her fabulous team to serve our deserving veterans.

Mark L. Pilcher, Founder and President of the Warrior Village Project.

Not even sure where to start... The people who volunteer and work for WWH are just as amazing as the veterans' they help. They're all hero's in my opinion and anytime I can help them, to help others, I will. If anyone reading this has any time or resources to donate to this fantastic organization, PLEASE do. Everyone's lives will benefit from it.

Wounded Warrior Homes is a great non profit organization, they really care and are helping alot of Veterans every year!

Wounded warrior homes is a great group of people helping our best citizens who sacrificed for us. They help these amazing Americans get back their pride and stability.

Wounded Warrior Homes has been here for me for quite a while now. I was discharged from the Marine Corps in 2015. Shortly after I was arrested for a couple assault charges. I was accepted to the Veterans Treatment Court to help clear my record. After finishing VTC I didn’t have a place to go. WWH opened their doors to me and haven’t stopped supporting me yet. After my time as a squad member of WWH I was able to move into my own place. Today I am back, this time as a tenant. They allowed me to rent their ADU in order to prepare for purchasing my own home.
I can’t thank WWH and their team enough for what they’ve done for me.
-Dan Lopez

This organization provides amazing support and structure for veterans when they need it the most. WIth transitional housing and wrap around services, the struggling veterans are able to reintegrate back into society and live productive lives.

Focusing on reintegrating veterans with TBI/PTSD after separation form the service, Wounded Warrior Homes is a wonderful organization that uplifts veterans with TBI/PTSD. Their dedication to serving those who served is admirable, their success in reintegrating veterans into thriving lives made me a lifelong supporter.

The separation from my wife left me homeless and financially unstable with my PTSD dominating every aspect of my life. After I graduated from Aspire Center for 9 months of intense inpatient therapy, Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) gave me a base from which to get back on track and reintegrate with society; doing so with dignity and respect. Were it not for WWH, I do not know where I would be.

Focusing on reintegrating veterans with TBI/PTSD after separation form the service, Wounded Warrior Homes is a wonderful organization that uplifts veterans with TBI/PTSD. Their dedication to serving those who served is admirable, and has made me a lifelong supporter.

Wounded Warrior Homes is a wonderful advocate for Veterans. They not only help provide housing and food services, the wealth of resources they have to help Veterans is priceless.

Wounded Warrior Homes continues to shine as a wonderful resource for our Veterans in need. The housing program is incredibly helpful for our homeless Veterans and their food pantry provides much needed assistance to any military family or Veteran in the community. Keep up the great work!

They're great people serving a fantastic cause. The folks at Wounded Warrior Homes are committed to helping our Veterans who so richly deserve assistance.

My experience with Wounded Warrior Homes has made a lasting impression, the staff is friendly and passionately serve the veteran community. I look forward to watching this organization pursue their mission and expand throughout San Diego.

My experience with the Wounded Warrior Homes Inc organization has been a very positive one. The staff and volunteers are very dedicated to their cause of helping the veteran community in many ways to include their food bank, homes, counseling and more. I have helped in donations, volunteering and have enjoyed the experience. I've been impressed with their mindfulness to their cause and efficiently disbursing funds where most needed. They have experienced staff to run the operations, fund raise and further their goals. They keep their overhead to a minimum and seem to have a well run organization, honored by the community for what they do.

The people and place are amazing. They are willing to listen to any concerns you might have and will help you in anyway they can. That's the kind of support our veteran community deserves. I can recall many times when I had nobody to help me out and felt hopeless so I stopped at Wounded Warrior Homes and realized how wonderful it is to know I can count on them. No judgments just simply willing to open their doors and share their knowledge and resources. I have been thinking of volunteering there since they also participate in serving veteran families especially during holidays. Life has many ups and downs but you should never lose hope that good things will come.

WWH does an outstanding job of serving at risk veterans who have little to no hope elsewhere. It fills the void of transitioning by giving vets with ptsd or brain injuries a structured, safe and secure place to live while helping them address their health and mental issues. Porsche Club of America-San Diego Region members are proud to help WWH.

I have watched this organization from the very beginning and I have been nothing but amazed at the dedication and passion by everyone for everyone that has served our country! Time and time again, the needs of every person that walks through the door or calls in need of guidance or support, is met with a caring heart and compassion. Every dollar that is raised goes towards the program and it's clients, helping to improve their lives so they can live successfully. Everyone needs to support this organization so they can continue to more for those that have done so much for us!

As Mayor of San Marcos I am thrilled to have Wounded Warrior Homes in my city, they provide such vital services to our military heroes and are so important to our community. Thank you to Wounded Warrior Homes for all you do!!

WWH saved me! I have been able to get back on my feet after becoming homeless due to job loss and college debt. I am so happy that an organization such as this exists.

WWH has helped me tremendously! The staff here have the biggest hearts and show so much support to their Veterans! What’s best about WWH is that so many of the staff have either served themselves or are from a military household so the get it. The care, attention, support, compassion and genuine concern they show to me and my service dog has helped me trust transition to a new way of life. They are always there willing to provide support any way they can. Thank you all at WWH! Simper Fi

As the Executive Director it is an honor to work with such and amazing group of staff, Board Members and volunteers. Wounded Warrior Homes places the needs of each Veteran first. The programs are taliored to each veterans needs. To me, our program is so much more than transtional housing, its about who each veteran is and can be. We help them see the positive impact they can make in our community as part of the next phase of thier lives. It is an honor to serve the veterans in our community.

The folks that work at Wounded Warrior Homes all have a big heart for veterans. Whether it's veterans in their core program, veterans who stop by once a month to pick up dog food for their service dog or to use the food pantry or veterans in the community who need help and are reaching out. Wounded Warrior Homes is always there to help. I have been associated with this organization as a volunteer and a staffer for 5 years. I have seen Wounded Warrior Homes staffers go above and beyond to help a veteran in trouble. It's a small organization with a mighty reach.

As a member of the board of directors of Wounded Warrior Homes, I have seen firsthand the positive impacts our organization has made to the veteran community of San Diego County.

Hearing from veterans who found the transition back to civilian life difficult and learning they were helped along the way by the organization is a testament to the dedication of the board and those who support the organization. Whether through transitional housing, referral assistance or something as simple as goods from pantry, these positive impacts send a message to our veterans that they are important and welcomed as valued members of our community.

I am very grateful for this program, It's helping give me the security and stability to start coming up and bouncing back. I am able to save money, handle all my financial affairs, rebuild my life and my credit. My goal is to be leaving hear moving into my own home through the VA home loan. My dreams finally feel like they are with in reach because of this program. I am beyond humble for this program. This Transition after treatment is exactly what the doctor ordered and what my soul needed.

Among the many non-profits that serve injured veterans, Wounded Warrior Homes, located in north San Diego County, is among the very few that offer a comprehensive and individualized program with room and board for up to two years for those post-911 vets that are homeless due to the effects of the "invisible injuries" of PTSD and/or TBI. Established almost 10 years ago by Mia and Steve Roseberry, WWHs has successfully transitioned many dozens of vets into successful civilian lives while also serving active and veteran families from WWH's food pantry. And this has been accomplished with a small but highly dedicated and efficient staff, keeping costs as low as possible due to the high cost of housing in San Diego County. Our funding depends heavily on donations, of course, but it should be noted that every dollar raised stays here in San Diego County. For these reasons and more, I am proud to be associated as a volunteer and Board member of Wounded Warrior Homes since 2014. Our injured veterans deserve nothing less.

I came to Wounded Warrior Homes needing a place to stay as I was transitioning back into my own independent living. The team did a thorough intake to assess my situation and was able to help me by ensuring I adjust into their home. They took feedback regarding my dietary needs and welcomed me into their pantry that is stocked with a variety of food for me to prepare on my own. I attended a financial mentoring class with my peers and got immediate feedback on some questions I had about building credit. I had a chance to speak with the Co-founder and she was very receptive to feedback about the program and ways that she could assist me personally. Upon completion of the program I was gifted some kitchen and home necessities to help me move into my own place. The staff were always welcoming and willing to hear me out with genuine care. I recommend this organization to my fellow veterans who are in need of a smooth transition.

I wear several "hats" in relation to this nonprofit service organization - donor of money and goods, volunteer, and professional with expertise in this field. I appreciate their focus on the mission, and their results in serving the wounded veterans during their journey to self-sufficiency. A great and dedicated group of people working together!

I've done a few projects with this organization at one of their homes for veterans. The housing and support they provide these vets is great. I was able to talk with one of the guys in the house and he was so appreciative of what they have done for him and also really appreciated the civilian and active military who came out to help. The staff are passionate about what they do and it shows. I would recommend this organization to anyone who wants to help make a positive impact helping veterans.

Wounded Warrior Homes is an extraordinary organization that assists our Wounded Warriors in their transition to civilian life. The staff of this organization is incredibly dedicated to improving the lives of those they serve, pouring their time and resources into assisting Wounded Warriors in the San Diego area. As a military spouse, I would encourage those looking for ways to support our veterans to volunteer or donate to Wounded Warrior Homes!

The people involved with this organization are the some of the kindest, most caring, generous individuals! They have a fantastic program to help former military personnel transition successfully to civilian life. It was an honor to be able to experience their unique program, to meet and work with their caring staff!

This program completely changed my life around for the better! The staff here is amazing.They were able to help me achieve my goals both mentally and physically by coming up with a solid game plan every week. What I also love about the program is that they hold us 100 percent accountable for our actions, and they aren’t here to babysit us in recovery. Mia, Monica,Stacy,Gene,Molly are genuine upstanding citizens in both the veteran and civilian communities! I’m happy to say that I served with these beautiful souls!

D. Foster

Love organizations that give back to real heroes of America!

WWH leadership and staff take such extraordinary steps to ensure each veteran served receives the right tools at the right time to stabilize, engage, and thrive. To optimally serve veterans, a commitment to performance excellence must be present – at Wounded Warrior Homes this focus on excellence is evident in every action. From adherence to best practices in veteran service delivery to WWH’s complete focus on ensuring successful veteran outcomes Wounded Warrior Homes remains a stellar example of how nonprofits can change the world. We need Wounded Warrior Homes to remain a strong resource in the community – the lives of combat veterans literally depend upon this work.

My commitment to WWH is directly related to their commitment to our veterans.
I cannot speak highly enough of Wounded Warrior Homes’ leadership, staff, volunteers, and outcomes. Budget discipline, transparency, planned growth, and impact tracking ensures Wounded Warrior Homes meets the needs of our modern combat veterans suffering from unmanaged, and often undiagnosed TBI and PTSD.

I have been engaged with Wounded Warrior Homes since 2016 as a proposal writer, donor, and community advocate. My father was a career officer in the United States Navy predisposing me to support stellar veteran organizations. I am proud to be associated with this organization.

Terri A. Williams, MBA, DM

As a Navy veteran I have a soft spot in my heart for this organization. The leadership is genuine, their mission is magnificent and their results are outstanding. I am proud to volunteer my time to those who deserve our everlasting gratitude.

WWH homes is great, they have helped me out tremendously. I wouldn't be where I am today if I did not have the help and resources they provided for veterans coming into and out of the program. Great group of people too!

Wounded Warrior Homes kept me from giving up on myself. They allowed me refuge through my storms and suppliemented useful tools to weather inclement conditions. Really great organization that assist many other vets through changes throughout life. Thank you all for helping me become who I am today!

The staff and owners are absolutely amazing! They go above and beyond to support their veterans. I couldn't say enough great things about this program. Any veterans in need of help contact this place and they will do whatever they can to help you. Thank you WWH for helping me turn my life around!

I recently had the opportunity to help out with a Wounded Warrior event with my company and it was so remarkable seeing all they do to help. Everyone was so nice and grateful to be able to give to those in need. Being a military wife it was very special to know there are people in the world willing to stand up and help if we ever needed it.

We learned about Wounded Warrior Homes by chance several years ago. We were immediately struck by their passion and commitment for helping our warriors that have fallen through the cracks of traditional veteran's services.

As veteran that served for more than 31 years, and was fortunate enough to survive multiple deployments, I can appreciate the amazing work Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) Inc., does for my less fortunate fellow service members. The veteran homeless problem is a significant challenge the entire country faces and WWH is an organization that has stepped up to the plate with a plan and the motivation to do something about it. It is an honor and privilege to sit on their Board.

Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) is doing it right and one of the best programs I know of. They offer housing for up to two years to veterans who are recovering from TBIs and/or PTSD, and homeless or at risk of being homeless. A two year program is almost unheard of anymore. The trend now because of funding dollars is “housing first” programs that offer housing and services for an average of 90 days. As a social worker who has worked with traumatized and homeless veterans, I know it can take a lot longer to begin to heal, stabilize and make/execute plans to move forward in their lives.

I chose to support this program and join the board because of their model and also because of the integrity of the program, the compassionate care offered by the staff, and their passion for and dedication to our veterans.

Within San Diego County, Wounded Warrior Homes is among the top-rated service providers for veterans with PTSD and TBI. The leadership has been highly awarded for vision and entrepreneurial tactics to address the often difficult transition from service life to civilian life. They have provided more than 200 months of housing to single male veterans who struggle with PTSD and TBI. Helping them get jobs, occupational training or getting a college degree are among their hands-on support.

I have been associated with Wounded Warrior Homes for almost 3 years, both as a volunteer and as a staffer. I am continually impressed by the integrity of the Executive Director, Mia Roseberry, the other staff and our Board of Directors. When a question comes up, it's about doing the 'right thing' for our veterans that we serve. Wounded Warriors Homes is an outstanding organization that really makes a difference in the lives of the wounded warriors they help. I feel honored to be part of helping make that happen.

I consider WWH my extended family. I deal with Stacy 90% of the time however 100% of the staff do such amazing things for veterans In need. For me personally it has been a house to live in while I adjust to my new job. But it’s more than just the house, it’s someone to talk too. There’s a little structure which I needed, and guidance. I couldn’t have been placed anywhere better in my life than right here.

Wounded Warrior Homes supports US military veterans challenged with PTSD and provides housing to homeless veterans. As an organization, their integrity and passion are unmatched. I’ve always been skeptical donating to charities with the concern that my time and/or money would not reach the people who need it. With Wounded Warrior Homes, I have seen firsthand how the veterans are impacted by the services and programs available. The individuals that make up the team of staff and volunteers at WWH are some of the most inspiring and generous people I've ever met. There are very few organizations I trust as much as WWH, and their impact on veterans and their families both locally and nationally is incredible.

Wounded Warrior Homes Inc. Goes above and beyond to help our Country's veterans get the help they need.

I came to Wounded Warrior Hones through the Board, and remained securing grant funding. As I met staff and volunteers, I realized each of us is there for a reason: to honor and support our nation's heroes. Being a small part of getting post 9-11 veterans on the path toward a successful civilian life with their invisible, and visible wounds of war managed is a gift.

I am the daughter of a retired naval officer, and he was so pleased to learn I am working with Wounded Warrior Homes.

My husband and I are on in our 70s and we feel at home at 9weekwarrior. Variety of opportunities and experts- Paolo, massage guy, is amazing-deep tissue and as a person one feels peace w/him. Yoga teacher, peppy and personal. Ben and Chondra and often their kids working out, happy, positive-you feel part of their spirit.

I love the work of this organization. They provide a safe environment for our wounded veterans needing some help to heal and live independently a chance to do so. The men have up to 24 months to execute on their personal plans for education, therapy, etc. as they move forward in life following injury while in service to our country. The leaders have personal experience with the military, many having served themselves, which makes the program more relevant and useful. They work hard and honorably, and receive no government funding for their efforts.

To serve your country, return to the United States and through unfortunate circumstances find yourself without a home to me is more than tragic. Wounded Warrior Homes is five-star, knocking it out of the park assisting veterans with housing needs. Being a Viet Nam Vet myself motivates me to help non-profits like Wounded Warrior Homes in San Marcos. For the past four years we have helped Wounded Warrior Homes keep down their administrative cost by donating a copier for their office use.

Wounded Warrior Homes continue to raise the bar as they expand their operations in North County San Diego. Every veteran I meet that has completed their program is ready to face the world on their own and take back their life. WWH helps our heroes and gives them a second chance!

Wounded Warrior Homes are wonderful. The folks there are friendly, professional, and very helpful. They provide a "tailored to you" helpful experience to get you the assistance you really need. They truly care about us veterans. I am grateful for them.

The team at Wounded Warriors homes are all amazing people who really care about helping our great veterans. I fully support their cause and can assure everyone that this is an ethical group of people and the charity is worthy of support from the community.

I first met Mia Roseberry in 2010 when she was giving a speech about Wounded Warrior Homes and they were just starting out. Fast forward to 2018 and Wounded Warrior Homes is a thriving, growing organization providing a greatly needed service to our post-9/11 veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress. Wounded Warrior Homes has a successful program of Transitional Housing and Reintegrative services that helps these veterans move from being a Warrior to Civilian.

Wounded Warrior Homes has helped me in ways I cannot put into words. I have struggled so much after coming back from Afghanistan and have been homeless for the majority of the time. Now I have a home and a great group of people who support me and pick me up and keep me going forward when things get tough. Thank you so much for all you do for us!

I had the opportunity to help at the WWH golf outing and am so impressed by how organized it was. The staff and Board of Directors were great and I had the honor to meet a few of the veterans in the program. I can't wait to help at other events in the coming year as well as the next golf outing!

My wife and I are strong supporters of the military and wanted to support a local cause in the San Diego area. Our good friend Bob Gough introduced us to Wounded Warriors Homes a few years ago. Bob is part of a passionate group of volunteers that work to provide our veterans with a temporary home and the help they need to transition from the battle field back to civilian life. This is a wonderful cause and I know first hand the work they do saves lives.

Wounded Warrior Homes has a passion for providing a stable, comfortable and modern living environment to assist the most vulnerable wounded warriors as they transition into the civilian world. I attended the ribbon-cutting celebration for their latest state-of-the-art property and had the opportunity to meet these brave men and see how they were positively affected by the generosity of this non-profit organization. They not only provide a home but they assist with connecting these warriors with support systems that enable them to become independent, productive and positive neighbors. There is so much more that needs to be done for these individuals and Wounded Warrior Homes is committed to continue their mission as I am committed to continue supporting them.

I have been working with Wounded Warrior Homes for 2 years. I am the secretary of the board. The dedication of Mia,CEO and Steve, cofounder and board member and their staff are exemplary as is the that of the board members. Bob Gough, architect and board member, in particular spent hundreds and hundreds of hours working on the York house. Mia and Steve attend every function and Mia will spend hours working with any veteran who walks up to the Kiosk with a problem. The dedication of all these people is what inspires me to keep doing what I can to contribute. Lastly the experienced leadership of Jane Howell, the board president, has allowed us to move to a higher level of competence as a nonprofit for veterans.

The folks at Wounded Warrior Homes, Inc. have been honorably serving homeless veterans for many years. I have had the pleasure of seeing firsthand the great work they do and can truly say they are patriots. Thank You Wounded Warrior Homes - Maurice Wilson MCPO, USN (Ret), President/Executive Director, National Veterans Transition Services, Inc. aka REBOOT

Super fun group to work with! I had the opportunity to volunteer for one of the work days at the veterans house and the WWH staff was great and so stoked to have us all there to help! It was a cool way to spend a Saturday!

Wounded Warrior Homes is an amazing organization who is very genuine in their services. The organizational staff and volunteer base they attract is top notch and aims to provide resources to many deserving veterans. Often times the personal connection gets lost in translation when an organization continues to grow, however this is not the case with WWH. Every person I have met in the organization and from the volunteer staff all maintain and invest themselves into their passion for helping veterans. I love to volunteer with WWH and will continue to do so.

Mia Roseberry and the staff at Wounded Warrior Homes are some of the most helpful and kindhearted people I've met who have the desire to help underserved veterans. Mia and her husband Steve actually started Wounded Warrior Homes when they first allowed homeless veterans to sleep in their own house! If you actually want to help a veteran, I'd consider giving to this organization. They do all they can to help, they're near the phone almost 24/7 and they point veterans in the right direction to get the resources they need on top of actually building homes for them. These are kindhearted people who have even helped me personally. I can't say thank you enough.

As a Visiting Nurse, I regularly place my Vets in the Wounded Warrior Homes. The program assists them on getting back on their feet...financially, socially & emotionally and continues to assist them even when they are out on their own. The staff are dedicated to ensure each Veteran receives the best care they can deliver.

In 2009, I heard Mia Roseberry give a talk about a non-profit she and her husband were starting to help post 9/11 veterans with traumatic brain injury and/or PTSD. She and the cause immediately spoke to my heart--my husband was a Vietnam Veteran living every day with the trauma of war. Since then, through hard work, persistence and tremendous support from a wide variety of people and organizations, Wounded Warrior Homes has grown from an idea to a strong organization serving veterans not only in the San Diego area but across the country. I am proud of the work they do, and grateful to be a part of.

Wounded Warrior Homes is a wonderful organization that serves the special needs of Military personnel that have suffered traumatic brain injuries. The founders of the organization have showed tireless dedication to taking care of anyone that comes to them for help. They offer support in so many ways, as well as hope and opportunities for those in need to get back on their own two feet. They treat each individual with care and respect. In the capacity as a volunteer as well as a sponsor they have been great to work with.

WWH does great work for our military personnel in North County San Diego. Providing comprehensive assistance and working their constituents toward self-sufficiency.

I've been working with WWH since their inception. Steve, Mia and the whole team have immense passion for helping transition veterans with brain trauma - they work their tail off day in day out to make sure every once of support and love they can squeeze out of their budget and their own souls go to those guys. I've seen firsthand the transformation they can bring about in a young man through their program - from scared to leave his bedroom to speaking in front of hundreds of people at a time - it's a true miracle what they do.

Wounded Warrior Homes is a great nonprofit organization that is greatly concerned with the well being of veterans. As a volunteer I have participated in events that Wounded Warrior Homes have hosted and I can truly say that this organization and the people that are part of this organization truly care about veterans and making sure that they are being taken care of and that they are receiving their benefits.

I have volunteered and interned for Wounded Warrior Homes for many years now! Those who run the program are indeed, the type of people you love having in your life. It is like a big family, everyone always involved with each other and helping in whatever way possible. The work they are doing within the veteran community is unlike any other to me, in that you can truly see the genuine care! It is a true blessing to be a part of this organization!

I was a Marine for 20 years, retired in 1996 but at that time did not have an opportunity to get involved in my community. I recently moved to Bonsall, CA. and called this my last move. That is when I started looking at "how I can give back to the community and my fellow veterans." I researched multiple nonprofits before I came across Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) and then asked them "how can I help." The group of people at WWH is truly amazing and they provide a valuable service to our veterans. Their goal is to keep costs down which provides more money to our veterans that need somewhere to live while they transition out of the service. I believe in this organization so much that I also donate money, time and anything else that they need.

I had the opportunity to work with WWH at a work day out at the veterans house! It was well organized and the highlight of the day was when I had the chance to chat with one of the veterans that is in the program! Thanks to the staff at WWH for all you do to help our veteran community!

The stars state the true fact of this program, as have most who have served, this program goes above and beyond what is expected of them. It creates a platform from which wounded military veterans and transitioning service members are able to calm the storm and give focus on what needs to be done to succeed. The Wounded Warrior Homes reach is far and wide and has networking branches which extend further than any other program I have encountered, programs that are not even heard of (At least ones that I had no idea of) are at their fingertips and this is the type of outreach veterans need to become healthy, or more successful on their path through this world.

Small group with big hearts. Thank you for all you do! Well organized volunteer program...As a volunteer there is nothing worse than giving up your Saturday and going to a disorganized site for the day. They seem to have it together...

I'm 11 years old and helped at WWH to dig a trench for a water line that will supply the Greenhouse that will help feed the veterans in the house. It was a good day and I learned so much from the staff and I also found out about R.E.D. Friday (Remember Everyone Deployed) and now wear red every Friday! I can't wait to help again!

Gene and team at WWH are true pros. They are focused on the right things.

Wounded Warrior Homes is hands down my favorite nonprofit here in San Diego! It's truly inspiring to see the stand they're taking for the Veterans here in our local community and beyond.

I have nothing but great things to say about Wounded Warrior Homes! The staff and volunteers are amazing and I love that they are a local organization helping veterans through the transition from active duty. It's important to remember that some wounds are not visible.

I was able to hear from a wounded veteran first hand about how WWH helped him get back on his feet. Inspiring to know that a little help can lay such a solid foundation for success. Impressed.

I had the honor of being an intern with Wounded Warrior Homes for over a year. A great organization! The staff are very dedicated and committed to helping our wounded warriors become productive, self-sufficient citizens in civilian life. The organization provides a full range of services for our wounded warriors including transitional housing, employment assistance, and case management. The organization goes to great measure to assure that every dollar raised is used in direct support of their mission. Being associated with Wounded Warrior Homes has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. It's organizations like yours that really changes the lives of our wounded warriors in a positive and meaningful way! Thank you for letting me a part of your mission.

My experience volunteering for Wounded Warrior Homes was excellent. I took a group of my high school students there to volunteer this past summer and it definitely was the highlight of the summer. The staff was beyond nice, very personable and loved their jobs. All of this made it a pleasant experience for us. What I really appreciated was that they took the time out to speak to my group about veterans and the issues that wounded veterans, both physically and emotionally have to deal with. The hard work that the staff puts in day in and day out is definitely commendable. I look forward to volunteering again.

Good for groups volunteer work, especially high school aged.

I volunteered with WWH for several weeks during 2015. WWH is truly a great organization comprised of first-class, passionate people. I could feel the enthusiasm and teamwork while I was in the office, and WWH's commitment to veterans is impressive.

I have worked with Wounded Warrior Homes on a variety of events. Work days at the house, fundraising tournaments and have donated my businesses resources are a few examples of recent work I have done with them as a volunteer. I am always impressed by how organized the team is and how focused they are on the veterans they are helping. This team truly cares!

We visited Wounded Warriors and did some volunteer work for them, not only were they kind and informative, they really made my students feel like their work mattered. Wounded Warrior Homes is great for groups, they are attentive, welcoming, and do great things for our Wounded Warriors. Thank you WWH Inc for an incredible experience.

I have been volunteering with WW Homes for about 6 months or so now and every experience has been fantastic! They have had opportunities for me to involve my children as well, and have welcomed them as if they were their own. It means a lot to me to teach my kids about giving back to the community and I am fortunate enough to have found that with Wounded Warrior Homes. Mia and Steve, as well as their entire staff are professional, but kind-hearted and awesome to work with. I plan to continue to work with them at upcoming events and hopefully encourage some others to join me. Such a great cause.

WWH is an amazing program that is passionate about helping veterans with PTS and TBI transition from active duty to civilian life. The dedication of the staff and BOD is exceptional. I couldn't have picked a better organization to volunteer with.

This organization is the greatest! I honestly don't think that my family and I would have made it without them. Mia, Steve, Gene, Valerie, so many to name, you all area blessing. These folks are for real. They care, they welcomed me not only as a client, but a part of their family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I joined the Board as a way of giving back. I soon found that I had found my niche and took over as Fundraising Chair. The events and outing give me a chance to express my enthusiasm for the work Wounded Warrior Homes is doing! Mia our CEO and Founder works 24/7 and smiles thru everything! The group of men we help were at one time living in their cars, couch surfing, jail, VA mental health ward etc... All felt they were alone until they met Mia's smiling warm embrace and Wounded Warrior Homes comfortable surroundings. After leaving us to go on to bigger and better things they continue to work with us in many ways. I had found something that I believed in and strive to help change the lives of many more homeless Veterans with TBI or PTS.

I joined the board of Wounded Warrior Homes this year. I have been extremely impressed with the quality and care in which it is run. It is truly an amazing organization helping our military vets in times of greatest need! What an awesome group!

I volunteered for this organization as an externship for CalState San Marcos. What an incredible group of folks; they are passionate about their mission to care for local wounded warriors. Best experience od my college career!

This charity helps combat wounded veterans suffering from PTS and TBI injuries as a result of military service recover and transition back into civilian life. Often, these veterans lack the financial resources or are waiting for military disability benefits. The staff sincerely cares about those who have served our country and have suffered debilitating injuries as a result. As a veteran and volunteer at this organization, I know the staff is very knowledgeable, caring, and very efficient in the way it allocates its funding. Donations can be used to fund general functions or donors can request that their donations are used in specific ways whether housing programs or otherwise. This is a first rate organization and I am proud to associated with it!

During my senior year in college, I was required to find a location to do an internship for. At that point I had yet to decide on the population I wanted to serve once I completed my education and knew I needed to start making this decision soon. I contacted Wounded Warrior Homes in Vista and met with them shortly thereafter. After only 30 minutes, the dedication of the staff (Mia and Gene), as well as the truly unique approach to transitional housing for our country's valuable veterans was inspiring. They let me complete my internship with them and I have continued volunteering long after my required obligation was complete. I truly believe this program design is the most effective way to support these veterans. Anyone who spends just a few minutes talking with the staff and other volunteers will see the dedication and compassion they have for unfortunately growing population. My time with Wounded Warrior Homes has helped give me direction and a population to serve in my professional life moving forward.

The heart of the people involved in this organization is what makes it so wonderful. They truly care for each and every wounded warrior assisted by their efforts and their heart aches for every veteran that has to be turned away. The goal is grow in capacity and efficiency so that every veteran that needs assistance can receive it. Proud to be a member of such a worthy and necessary organization.

Veteran homelessness is a serious problem every American has an obligation to not only understand, but to take action against. These men and women defend the very freedom all Americans take for granted. Wounded Warrior Homes has taken up the mantel for these men and women. Those who have served and left their service time with traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress need all the support they can get while they wait for their benefits to kick in. Good bless Wounded Warrior Homes and everything they do!!! And God Bless America!!!

I am very grateful for where I am and what Wounded Warrior Homes has done for me. I was a veteran of 18 years who had two combat tours and numerous Humanitarian deployments as a Navy Corpsman. Unfortunately, after an injury and years of taking opiates, coupled with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) symptoms ultimately led to my early departure from what I loved to do, which was saving lives. With a quick departure from the military I was left jobless, homeless and without a car. I was constantly moving around living on friends’ couches. After having a series of blackouts, no one was willing to take a risk with me and ended up in the hospital with nowhere to go. I was fortunate enough that I was able to get temporary shelter at a local crisis house for two weeks. While there, I was able to work with my case manager who referred me to Wounded Warrior Homes. With everything seemingly to be falling apart around me and the situation didn't leave me with any options or reasons to “carry on”, it was a positive in a seemingly negative world. Since living here a lot of the stress has been taken out of my life and that allows me to gather my thoughts and priorities and focus on myself and what needs to be done without the stressors of everyday life. I honestly can’t say where I would be if it weren't for Wounded Warrior Homes, but I don’t know that I am in a better place now and grateful for everything they've done and are doing for me.

I am honored to serve with the wonderful people in this organization. Everyone is so dedicated to providing housing for and giving support to the veterans that may not otherwise have anywhere or anyone else to turn to during their challenging transition out of the military. The care given and the planning to make it all happen is so thoughtful and comprehensive. I have witnessed the impact that Wounded Warrior Home, Inc. has had on the lives of many men and it is truly amazing.

I was looking for a volunteer service learning experience for college and chose the Wounded Warrior Homes because of their interest in assisting post 9/11 veterans that had been injured while serving on active duty. I found their purpose and passion genuine, and immediately embraced their vision of assisting the community with the needs of providing transitional housing and support to the recently discharged veterans.

I have been a volunteer with Wounded Warrior Homes for over two years. From the first event I volunteered for I felt the passion and all encompassing heart and soul being dedicated by the Founders. I have seen Wounded Warrior Homes thrive and grow through the pure dedication and hard work of the founders and a small group of volunteers. Just in the past year I could personally see their first home for transitioning wounded warrior veterans come to fruition and can see and regularly be involved with its' successes.
One of the things that makes me stay involved with Wounded Warrior Homes is that it is a local non-profit where I can literally "see" that it is working and that donations are used properly in helping these wounded veterans heal.

I am Co Founder of Wounded Warrior Homes. The personal eye opener for Me was having 2 service members end up in our house after serving in Iraq post 911. Both somehow ended up on the same area on the living room floor. When asked why they told me they felt safe there and then proceeded to tell Me in great detail everything they had done while fighting for our freedom. I asked the first one to stop as I have never served and had a hard time taking in the story I just told. At that moment I really understood the sacrifices that our service members and there families make. The challenges that I saw over the next couple of years was tough to watch. The next thing I know is Wounded Warrior Homes is born. We currently have a full house and are looking to open another house. Getting our warriors before they end up living on the streets is our goal. Steve Roseberry

I am a retired social worker, new to the San Diego area, who was looking to do some volunteer work. I heard about Wounded Warrior Homes from my cousin, a retired U.S Marine who had taken a business class with the Executive Director, Mia Roseberry. I was really excited when I met with Mia because I had the type of work experience that I felt would be beneficial to their program. I had prior experience as a Regional Administrator and Program Director of several transitional residential programs. I have been working with Wounded Warrior Homes for over two years and seen it grow from a start-up to a fully functional program serving the needs of veterans. None of this would have been possible were it not for the tireless work of Steve and Mia Roseberry and their volunteers. The generosity and support of businesses and community members has been outstanding and allowed us to open the first home Sept. 14, 2012. Our challenge now is to increase our capacity as we have had to turn away other needy veterans.

Wounded Warrior Homes has been there for m, help me out with hard times. When my services was done for the country. My life was missing people in my life that care. I suffer from having post traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. Its been tough getting my life together. I would like to say thank you to the Wounded Warrior Homes staff for all the assistants.

I choose to volunteer for Wounded Warrior Homes initially for college credit. I am truly honored to work with such a great group of people. Everyone here has a big heart and desire to help those who have been injured with traumatic brain injury or PTSD. I am very happy to be a part of this worthy cause.

I joined the board recently and was impressed with the passion everyone has for helping veterans with traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Talking to the veterans who are or have been part of the program and hearing how much it helped them when they really needed it brought tears to my eyes.

I have been a board member for about 2.5 years now. There's no better cause to serve than helping anyone who has ever served in any branch of the military in any capacity. I love being on this board as we are all dedicated to and deeply rooted in this cause. Each one of us is connected to the military in one way or another. I have been in San Diego since a very young age and anyone who's lived her that long will tell you that it's nearly impossible to not feel proud of our military and protective of them at the same time.

Mia & Steve are two individuals who would literally give you the shirt off their back and I believe all the board members follow suit, making this a very cohesive group. I'm proud to me a member and hope to help as many as we can.

I have been on the Advisory Board since 2012 and couldn't be happier to be part of such a worthy cause. Mia and Steve Roseberry go above and beyond the call of duty to help soldiers with traumatic brain injuries and PTSD. I have seen first hand the difference Wounded Warrior Homes has made in service members' lives and it is truly remarkable. A fantastic organization.

I have been on the board for Wounded Warrior homes virtually since we were approved as a 501 c 3. The passion that Mia & Steve Roseberry bring is the kind that inspires you to want to do more. It is a small organization and the funds are 100% to benefit the cause. This is nice as sometimes larger organizations have pulled away from their cause. I believe we are working to help give service members that are struggling from their injuries and leaving the military some place to go to get them on their feet. This is a serious need and one that isn't being addressed enough.

I have a son who is in the military and many family members who have served our country so WWH has a major sweet spot for me. I get a lump in my throat when I think of the service members of our military who voluntarily dedicate their life, and potentially put themselves in danger, to protect our freedoms. To come back from serving with PTSD or BTI is an extremely difficult thing, something most of us cannot truly understand. So, to be on the board and to volunteer for WWH is an honor.

WWH is run by two of the most genuine and giving people I have ever come across - Mia and Stevce Roseberry. Their dedication and care is unlike anything I have ever seen and they make daily sacrifices for WWH. On a business level, they run WWH with the highest level of integrity and attention to every penny. This is NOT an organization with big budgets and big salaries. It is an organization that has one clear objective - to give as much to the service members as possible so they can have a better transition into civiian life. I am so proud to be on the board of WWH, and serving with others who donate their time and money to help out this wonderful organization.

I can actually say that THIS ORGANIZATION is run by GENUINE PEOPLE! Mia and Steve are two very hard working people and are devoted to their cause. They show the best in what people can be and do for others. The office staff (1) and volunteers' contribution exemplify how the unity of purpose works for the betterment of the human spirit.
I praise all who make this work, for it is a LOT of work.

Wounded Warrior Homes steps in to help our vets in the critical transition from military service to the civilian world. This can be a difficult process made even more difficult if traumatic brain injury or other factors are in play. WWH is a great, young charity that has already made a huge difference in the lives of the vets it has served.

I am an emergency physician who has been fortunate enough to work within the military medicine system for the past 7 years. On a daily basis I encounter wounded warriors who are frightened and confused on where the next steps of their journey may take them. Where can they go? They want to stay close to their military buddies who understand where they have been. They want to figure out how to be productive, useful, and use their skills and become further educated. They want to be close to the medical care that they may continue to need. They need to relearn the basic art of living outside the chain of command. Wounded Warrior Homes, Inc fills this need. Being located in southern California, we are fortunate enough to have many community and state colleges within a few miles of "our home", we have financial advisors who help set savings goals and allow these men to get back on their feet, and we are very close to numerous Veteran's Hospitals and clinics and Naval Medical Centers providing mental health and physical healthcare access.
Our overhead costs have been kept exceptionally low, our board is very active in our volunteer pool, and we can show the community that our monies are spent in a thoughtful and purposeful way. Our graduates of the program attest that sometimes just having a safe place to fall and time to adjust is just what they need. Not a hand out, just a helpful hand up.

I joined Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) Board in April 2013. I choose WWH because I wanted to be of service to our returning wounded veterans in need and I believe that the team of WWH is doing a good & noble work by providing the needed veterans a place to live.

I came to Wounded Warrior Homes (WWH) in March 2012 because I am a veteran and I wanted to make a difference in the lives of other veterans. I was extremely pleased to find that WWH is an all-volunteer organization. This NOT (unlike quite a few other organizations) a money-making operation. All of the principles that I have met, co-founders, Executive Director and board members, are sincere, deeply committed individuals who want to help the brave men and women injured in Iraq and Afghanistan overcome their injuries and transition from active-duty military service to independent living as a veteran of foreign wars.
