Every day is a risk for the soldiers - We need more Help for Heroes.

Thank you for taking interest in my Blog! I’m Liberty and I believe that soldiers fighting for our country is something that should get supported for. Many people know about the soldiers but don’t take actions, such as simple donations to provide help for people like Mick in the picture below. Hopefully after you’ve read my Blog you will feel you want to help the many people like Mick.

Mick was injured in a suicide bomb attack in November 2004 whilst serving in Iraq. Mick lost both his legs and suffered serious injuries to his brain. His life had changed forever. Due to the support from Help for Heroes Mick was able to participate in the Exercise Snow Warrior (military ski training exercise for injured soldiers). Help for heroes was able to pay for his training and now he can live his dream. You can help people like Mick participate in more activities to make them much happier. Mick is now taking part in the 2014 Paralympic winter games.

Not all soldiers come home safely. Help for heroes made Micks dream come true. Just a simple donation or even fundraising can help others like mick for fill their dreams. Help for heroes cannot do it without you!

Why should you care? Due to the horrors of war many soldiers come back effected. Not just physically but mentally. Soldiers cannot live their lives to the full. Many end up depressed. Help for heroes can changed their frame of mind and turn their lives back on the right track. H4H do not just help the soldiers, they also help their families. It is the worst feeling ever knowing that your family member or friend is in a huge amount of risk 24/7. It is not nice I know. Help for Heroes also support soldiers and help them to for fill their dreams.

You are probably thinking “Why does this apply to me?” Help for Heroes cannot do this with donations and fundraisers, like you. You can help.
