Vision already serves wounded by CHRISSY VICK

Hope for the Warriors began as a vision.But in less than a year, that vision is already serving wounded warriors and their families around the country.The nonprofit organization, incorporated in July by co-founders Shannon Maxwell and Robin Kelleher, reached its most recent goal during Thursday's grand opening of the Wounded Warrior House aboard Camp Lejeune. The facility includes two homes and a resource center that will serve the family members of the wounded and fallen.  

The newly renovated homes were donated by Atlantic Marine Corps Communities and will provide transitional housing for wounded Marines and their families.  

"This provides the same service for married families as the Wounded Warrior Barracks does for the single warriors," Maxwell said. "We saw how that worked so well in helping them heal."   Read More
