My husband has been deployed to Kuwait since January 2010. He is due home on Christmas Eve! While we are excited for his return, I am currently out of work on disability and this has been a financial hardship on our family. The Military Friends Foundation assisted my family to enable us to pay our […]
Military Friends Foundation has affected my life in such a positive way. I began my journey with Military Friends when they provided my family with a grant when my step-father was deployed in Afghanistan. A few months later I was selected from my district as a Military Friends Scholar. The day of the presentation of […]
While my husband was deep in the midst of deployment, I was deep in the battle on the homefront with the health of my oldest daughter. She has had nutritional problems since birth, but it seemed during a huge growth spurt at age 5, everything just got worse. We were at Children’s Hospital on a […]
My husband deployed this year in August and we weren’t sure if he was going to get leave before they left (between training and being in country) when we got word I needed to buy a ticket immediately – we had to borrow the funds to do that from my father, the MFF grant afforded […]

Both of us have been unemployed for nearly 2 years now. Arthur’s military pay and my unemployment checks are the only source of […]
I would like to thank Military friends for the grant to get my husband’s plane ticket home. Our oldest son didn’t know he was coming home and we were able to surprise him at his school and my 3 cousins who were also visiting from NY. I can’t begin to explain how great it is […]
Today I was able to discuss the medical condition of our one year old son. He was born with a heart defect and still at 18 months old is facing another cardiac procedure.
