The ASMBA STAR Foundation is dedicated to providing financial support aimed at improving the quality of life of our disabled veterans, assisting veterans and their families, and the military community by attempting to fill those needs unmet by the U. S. Government.
When it comes to assisting our soldiers, veterans, wounded warriors, and their families by addressing their mental and physical needs, one organization can't do it all, the VA can't, the DoD can't, and even a host of government agencies can't do it either. It sometimes requires a properly integrated network...
Many people think that our government completely covers the needs of our service members and their families after they leave the service. Unfortunately, that is not the case. After physical rehabilitation and/or counseling, disabled veterans very often have a difficult time reintegrating back into society. There are charitable organizations at the “grass root” level that have developed a successful business model capable of addressing the needs of veterans, but quite often lack the resources necessary to sustain those positive results.
During my service in the military I believed that our government was capable of addressing the needs of our veterans by dealing with the physical and emotional scars of war. Unfortunately that is not the case, because some needs have been and will continue to be left unfulfilled! Please consider this…What does the future hold for a young soldier who is 25 and has lost both legs? Or to a young boy who has lost his father and still needs mentoring? A VA disability pension only covers a few things!
However, by focusing resources where they are needed most within the military community and by empowering wounded warriors with the knowledge and realization that they are still contributors in our fast-paced society is nothing short of an outstanding goal … a real “game-changer” for many!
What does “STAR” stand for?
- Support - We support our veterans, military and their families through programs and services.
- Teach - We support programs that provide scholarships and educational opportunities.
- Assist – We provide assistance to organizations that care for our wounded and financially disadvantaged military members and their spouses and/or caregivers.
- Recognize - We support military community development efforts that recognize the sacrifices our military have made for us.
Despite our country’s current economic environment, the ASMBA STAR Foundation remains focused on not forgetting our soldiers or their families who serve in a support capacity that cannot and must not be ignored. Federal, state, and local governments cannot possibly meet all the needs affecting our veterans and their families during this time of crisis. Likewise, as a single organization we cannot possibly meet all the needs surrounding veteran care and family support.
The ASMBA STAR Foundation remains dedicated to helping our active duty military, veterans, wounded warriors, and their families. Check us out on the Best of CFC underneath the category of “Charities Under 5% Overhead.”
Please take note that 100% of your generous CFC contribution goes directly toward helping soldiers, veterans, wounded warriors, & their families. Thank you in advance for your support!
We are definitely about Building Bridges, Filling Gaps, Changing Lives, Making an Impact!
