Our mission is to provide emergency assistance, morale building, and innovative therapeutic services for wounded warriors and their families.

Easter is a special time for children and adults around the world, and that includes the many wounded service members and their families. But war injuries bring many challenges, including financial. Often it’s difficult to celebrate the holidays. Heartbeat gives our hero families the opportunity to enjoy Easter the same way civilians can. We make sure the children – our youngest heroes – experience joy amid life’s challenges. Every year, Heartbeat collects donated Easter items and financial gifts to help the wounded warrior families. In 2009 we delivered 1,000 Easter baskets to military children. We also give grocery gift certificates so families can buy traditional Easter food for a dinner together. To our heroes, Easter Joy is more than a holiday celebration. It’s an opportunity for them to see how grateful we are for their daily sacrifices. It helps them feel that we do care. This goes a long way towards healthier, happier, productive lives. Thank you for helping our many wounded service members. Items and expressions of gratitude that appear simple to civilians are often appreciated the most by our warriors.
