Committed to fostering resilience and a sense of purpose, HOPE takes a whole-person approach, recognizing multiple facets of life impact the well-being of the veteran, service member, and military famil, from critical needs assistance to career and financial coaching to forging community connections through physical activity and caring for mental health and offering peer support.
Hope For The Warriors’ Critical Needs program assists service members, veterans and their families with meeting short-term needs when delays in disability claims processing, loss of income, homelessness, need for increased care due to injury progression, and unexpected expenses create financial burdens.
“Our Critical Needs program is at the heart of our mission to stand beside the post-9/11 military community,” said Robin Kelleher, co-founder and CEO of Hope For The Warriors. “Over the years, this program has expanded to address the urgent challenges the military community faces—whether it’s financial hardship, housing instability, or increased care needs. “The continued support of this grant helps ensure we can provide these vital resources, reinforcing the meaningful and lasting difference HOPE makes in strengthening the resilience of veterans, service members, and their families.”

These partnerships expand the resources available to America’s injured veterans and help ensure they and their families thrive long-term.
