Project Valour-IT 2011
July 1st, 2011
This year, from today to the 14th of July, we must pool our resources and truly help and assist our Wounded Warriors. With Soldier’s Angels Project Valour-IT, there is no better direct contribution to their well-being that you can make beyond handing your resources directly to them. You see, Project Valour-IT is a 100%, absolutely no administrative cost deducted, donation to the cause – that is a rare occurrence, as I’m sure you’ll agree.
Over the years, more than 6000 of our Wounded Warriors have benefited from the donations made to Project Valour-IT, but, sadly, many more than 6000 could have benefited if only there was more money available.
What is Project Valour-IT?
Project Valour-IT helps provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries. Items supplied include:
- Voice-controlled Laptops – Operated by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, they allow the wounded to maintain connections with the rest of the world during recovery.
- Wii Video Game Systems – Whole-body game systems increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities)
- Personal GPS – Handheld GPS devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI and severe PTSD.
Worthy cause, you bet. Join me, and the rest of Team Navy in helping Soldier’s Angels reach the goal of $100,000 this year; leave no Sailor, Marine, Soldier, Coast Guardsman nor Airman behind.
*Soldiers’ Angels is an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
