More than 500,000 servicemen and women are living with invisible wounds, often including Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and 320,000 are experiencing debilitating brain trauma (ref: Wounded Warrior Project). Shelter to Soldier has answered the call to help veterans in need through their independent, non-profit program, funded solely by private/corporate donations and grants.
