Wounded Warriors

It has been on my mind a lot lately in light of everything that has occurred in the last 2 months. A while back ago I came across another blog of a mom who is now a caretaker of her son who was wounded in Afghanistan similiar to Rob. This soldier is missing a large portion of his skull, brain matter, and he was burned pretty badly. Their lives have been changed forever. Leslie, Kevin's mom needs to buy a house that is handicapp accessible in Tampa so they can be close to the VA hospital because eventually he is going to be released. And he needs to stay in a warm area of the country because of his burns though they would love nothing more then to return home to Pennsylvania. And once Kevin is released from the hospital, Leslie won't get paid as caretaker any longer which means she is out of a job. But there is no chance that she can leave Kevin 8+ hours a day to get one.

A couple of days ago I mentioned to her via a comment that she should set up a paypal account so other could donate to help and initially it didn't sit well with her...but everyone jumped on the bandwagon and she did it.

I like giving money to people instead of organizations/companies, especially in light of all this recent corruption where every big business seems to be hemmoragging money and can't pull it together. This way you know 100% of your money is being used exactly how you want it to be and not wallpapering some CEO's McMasion. You can feel good about Kevin and Leslie.

If you find it in your heart to donate to them, here is their blog
