The program recognizes and rewards post-9/11 spouses and caregivers for their strength, fidelity and resolve despite adversity as they assume critical roles in the financial well-being of their families.
“Deployments and injuries are just two of the many reasons military spouses have to wait years to purse his or her career dreams,” said Robin Kelleher, co-founder and president/CEO of Hope For The Warriors. “Day after day, we continue to see military spouses turn into caregivers and want to help equip those families with the tools to take on their new normal.”
