To honor and support the exceptional families who have suffered the loss of a parent or spouse within our first responder or veteran communities by fostering their pursuit of higher education by providing financial assistance and information of additional available resources. These individuals represent the future leaders in both public and private domains, committed to a selfless dedication to service. Education stands as a cornerstone in molding the future leaders of our nation, and we are honored and committed to being a catalyst in their development.
Vision:
To glorify Christ and exemplify the healing he can bring to first responder and veteran communities and disseminate any and every necessary resource to these families in their time of need.
Values:
Integrity, Humility, Faith, Compassion, Resilience, Respect
Our intended beneficiaries:
The Fallen Heroes Initiative will support widowed first responder and veteran families, including spouses and/or children in Virginia, in a way that ministers and supports the educational needs of these families as they navigate their losses to empower their goals for the future. This will be achieved through the Fallen Heroes Initiative (FHI) Scholars Program.
How We Raise Money to Support this Initiative:
Through the generous donations collected by our sponsors and supporters, the Fallen Heroes Initiative is able to raise money through various community events, such as charity golf tournaments or portions of purchases and brewery revenues that are allocated to the mission.
The main source of funding that supports the Fallen Heroes Initiative (FHI) Scholars Program are the Vets on Track FUNd Run Ambassadors, which includes a group of dedicated individuals who elect to participate in various distances of racing events (5k, Half Marathons, Marathons, Spartan Races, etc.) who either run individually or with a team to raise funds for the FHI, in addition to the six other critical programs Vets on Track operates.
Our Mission
To establish a location (a Tiny House Community) that Veterans can call home while regaining their footing. While with us, we provide transportation to and from the Veterans Hospital so that veterans can obtain the necessary care.
Our personnel will assist the Veterans in reaching a point where they can support themselves independently. After they leave our community, we will assist with all Veteran benefits (such as financial and medical VA benefits), job placement, and assisted home placement.
Our Services:
Housing: Establishing a neighborhood where Veterans can reside while receiving the support and care they require.
Medical: Transportation to and from the closest Veterans hospital is provided as part of medical treatment. A VA hospital will be 50 miles or less from every community.
Counseling: We’ll work with the Veterans Hospital to arrange for counseling sessions to be held there, and we’ll transport veterans there for appointments.
Job Placement: Working with nearby companies to place our veterans in the best positions.
Community: The complex we intend to construct will give veterans a sense of community while holding them responsible for helping to maintain their residences and the property.
Benefits from the VA: We will assist Veterans in obtaining the benefits they are entitled to from the VA.
