Wounded Warriors
Important Message from National Blue Star Mothers
All gave some, some gave all, but our Wounded Warriors continue down a long and painful road to full recovery. Help us speed that healing.
We receive requests from our military hospitals, both here and abroad, as well as the field hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan, who are treating those who are often able to return to the battlefield. At home, the needs are more centered on rehabilitation. Abroad, even clothing items and scrubs are in short supply.

A new Pool Table set up at Palo Alto. The funds came from a gentleman from Piedmont who heard about us in an interview on KCBS talking about the need for one. He sent us a check for $2000.

Because the needs vary greatly and some requests have to be special ordered, like handi-pockets for wheelchairs and walkers, gait belts used to transport patients from bed to wheelchair, and knorks, a combination knife and fork used by our heroes who have lost use of one of their arms, we are asking only for monetary donations to purchase specifically requested items.
