Host A Hero

Dear Host A Hero Organization,
The Santiago family would like to take this time to thank you for providing us with a beautiful vacation in the mountains. Additionally, we have to give a big thanks to the Host A Hero staff for taking out of your time to care for us with text messages checking up on us and for any updates needed regarding the this wonderful vacation. There are no words to express the gratitude that our family has for the Host A Hero team for making our vacation a memorable one. As I have expressed to the team I never thought this organization was real. When my husband explained that our family had been chosen for a free vacation I did not believe him. Our family’s reaction was to google search the Host A Hero organization and read the testimonials. Truth be told, nothing like this has ever happened to any of us. We have experienced things like this on television, but never in the 20 years that we have been affiliated with the military did we imagine anything like this could happen to us. And for that, I have to thank you for allowing us to experience a part of the U.S. that we have never seen before. The time that you took out to make sure we had new things to experience were so helpful that we were able to experience something new every day.

The military family life has not been easy and our faith in humanity is always tested, but Host A Hero has changed our belief. Military families are not often appreciated for our struggle, loss, or even our strengths, but a simple act of kindness goes a long way. Host A Hero organization has gone above and beyond our expectations. They have expanded our level of appreciation of others to a completely different level by making dreams come true for SOF military families. The Host A hero organization understands the importance of family time and how that helps not just the soldiers with their families, but also with providing some time to gain some piece of mind as a family. Providing an opportunity to pull a soldier out of work mode is difficult on the best of days, so you can imagine on vacations. With the Host A hero team taking care of all the planning and logistics, they removed the concern and allowed the family to focus on enjoying the trip and relaxation that in all honesty has been well needed. Again, I cannot explain how grateful we are for the time you have given us together.
Our adventures began in the Mountains of North Carolina where we experience new sights, food, and activities.

We have tried to put into words how grateful we are, but nothing will ever be enough. The memories alone are the greatest gift given to us. Host A hero has provided us with the greatest adventures that we have ever experienced as a family and that is something we will forever hold within our hearts.
Host A Hero Team, Thank You All.
Thank you for providing our family with a worriless and painless experience that we shared together. Thank you for the memories and support, but also for taking the time out of your days to check on us. I can keep going on with everything that we are thankful for, but I want to point out the importance that a honest and wholesome foundation like this exist in a world that can often show such negative aspects. As a military family we often hear and see the worst, but knowing that there is a foundation like Host A hero that takes the time to show military families another side of life helps inspire us to see there are people out there that care about our well being and through their donations make a huge impact on our family that will last for years to come. We can’t thank you enough, understand you have made believers of us and we will spread the wonderful news of what Host A Hero has to offer.

With Warmest Regards,
The Santiago Family
