They are resilient. They are tough. But sometimes, they need a helping hand, too. You're using a computer right now.  Some of these guys and gals can't, or can only do so with difficulty.

Which is where Soldier's Angels and Project Valour-IT comes in.


Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, helps provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries. Items supplied include:

Voice-controlled Laptops - Operated by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, they allow the wounded to maintain connections with the rest of the world during recovery.

iPads & Personal GPS - Portable computers like iPads and handheld GPS devices build self-confidence and independence by compensating for short-term memory loss and organizational challenges related to severe TBI and severe PTS/PTSD.

Wii Video Game Systems - Whole-body game systems increase motivation and speed recovery when used under the guidance of physical therapists in therapy sessions (donated only to medical facilities)

Every penny donated to Project Valour-IT is spent on Valour-IT.  Soldier's Angels does not tax the program to support overhead.  It has different funding streams for that purpose.  Just so you know.
