 Rebuild Hope: More Than Money
The families who approach Rebuild Hope quickly learn that our financial support network delivers a lot more than money. We help them create a 12-month financial plan, encourage them to take specific steps to improve their prospects and coach them on matters like renegotiating their debt obligations. And when we identify critical needs that are outside our misssion Rebuild Hope connects the families to individuals in other organiza- tions that can help them. Our overall objective is to help the families help themselves while providing them financial assistance during rough times. |

Video To Feature Rebuild Hope Families
"In Their Boots" is a compelling web magazine show about the dramatic impact the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are having on us - the people here at home. Each video episode features a non-fiction narrative about how our servicemembers, their families, and their communities have been profoundly changed by the nation's campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Their Boots is currently working with Rebuild Hope on a story that illustrates the tough financial problems faced by veterans and their families in our current economic environment. We share the desire to get the word out about what veterans are up against, with the goal of helping to change the situation.

Meet The Hardin Family
Kevin, a frontline Army medic, suffered extensive permanent physical injuries when an enemy rocket intended for a tank missed and hit his vehicle. He is lucky to have survived and will continue to be treated at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center for an unknown time. His parents continue to struggle with the unreimbursed costs of visiting their son despite receiving help from several non-profit organizations. After approximately 23 surgeries (and more to go), Kevin remains an outpatient at the Malone House near Walter Reed. When his parents travel between Florida and Washington, DC to visit Kevin, they have to pay their own expenses. They are extremely thankful their son is alive.
