The Problem

Helping people feel appreciated and loved, so they do not want to take their lilfe. The suicide rate seems to rise each year, and among a large percentage is those who serve us. Military suicides and Veteran suicides, make up 1/4 of the toal suicides, Police and 1st responders is right behind that. Sad, because these are the very people who protect us and save our lives. Can I make an impact? Can I help improve the life of these men and women? Can I brighten their day, give a word of encouragement, and perhaps plant the thought that they are loved and appreciated?

Plan of Action

I began an organization call " Kards 4 Soldiers" I organized, and got help and sent 11,151 Kards overseas the 1st year. The 2nd Year, I got more help, and we make Kards 4 Soldiers, Veterans, Police, Officers, Firefighters, Sheriff, CHP, EMT's and Hospital patients. In 2012 we made and sent 106.500 locally and overseas. We added Gold, Silver & Blue Star Families to our list of recipients. The Letters and responses we have received back shows that we are making a difference. We help others feel loved and important, by helping others. We now help handicap children, mentally challenged adults, nursing home and assisted living patients, senior citizens as well as low income families make kards for others. This helps them learn to give back and makes them feel good about themselves. Perhaps this can be the bright spot in their life that can make the difference between life and suicide. Because my "Kards" are making a difference, I have a request for over 550,00 "Kards" per year. I need your help to accomplish this goal.
