“We experienced a scenario in which a Soldier attempted suicide and was admitted to the ER medical hold until treatment could be coordinated at an out of state inpatient facility. The Soldier was the primary breadwinner for the family, and his absence from work during the one month treatment resulted in a financial hardship for the spouse and kids. Through the use of gift cards we were able to assist the family with diapers, formula, food and fuel and provide reassurance to the soldier that his family was being taken care of – thus encouraging him to focus on his treatment and getting better.”

“Military family experienced a traumatic, life threatening event resulting in the Soldier and one child being hospitalized in a location two hours away from the family’s home. Gift cards were provided to the Family to assist with the fuel expenses resulting from the commute to and from the hospital, and to help offset the cost of food incurred by the family during their extended stays at the hospital to be with the Soldier while he was recovering. Use of these gift cards helped alleviate the financial burden placed on the family, allowing them to focus on supporting the soldier through recovery.”

“Coming up with the funding to secure housing has taken every dime that they have. When I inquired if he had food .. the response was.. “ I have $25 to spend on food for the next 2 weeks for me and my bride.” When I said that there was an organization that cared about him and wanted to assist he was in disbelief. The ability to provide for his new bride brought him to tears. He was so thankful.

Thank you Operation Military Blessings!”

OMB has provided much need relief and I wanted to provide you with an update.

One family had just arrived on station and was hit with pay issues. They had little money left to feed themselves after securing housing. OMB was there to lend a helping hand.

There was another family who experienced a pay processing issue. OMB was able to assist with food during the Christmas Holiday.

One of our families experience the death of a mother who lived with the service member. She was a caregiver for the children while both parents worked. Mom was from another country and did not have income. This was a very unexpected event and childcare suddenly utilized most of their available funds. OMB was able to assist with food.

We had another member who suddenly became the primary custodial parent of his child, who was living in another state. He was not anticipating the increase food expense. OMB stepped in to secure a smooth transition for the child and provided dad with hope.

A family experience a sudden vehicle repair expense. Fixing the vehicle was a priority and the only available funds came out of the food budget. OMB answered the call.

We are grateful for the assistance of OMB. Our service members and their families are grateful for the help. Thank you!
