When a service member is catastrophically wounded, their family often spends months at their hospital bedside . The day the family is finally able to take their wounded warrior home is filled with both joy and trepidation. Excitement about being home again is often accompanied by anxiety surrounding the challenges full-time care giving brings.

The reality for many care giving families is that they become financially strapped, isolated and overwhelmed. Most of us would jump at the opportunity to show our appreciation to these military families – we just don’t know where the needs are or how to address those needs. 




The Quality of Life Foundation spent a year to research this issue then turned their attention to close the gap that exists between resources and needs for families who provide full-time care giving to their wounded warrior at home.

The Wounded Warrior Family Care Program provides a locally-based, personal resource coordinator to effectively leverage local, county, state and national resources to develop a system of support and meet emergency needs.
