There was never a question of if my brother and I would go to college. The question we had was where we were going to college. Mom had a more important question and that was how we were going to pay for college. A friend from the Special Operations community recommended the Warrior Foundation. It was amazing to see the relief on my mother’s face as a major question that kept her up at night had been answered. Between an academic scholarship and the incredible generosity of donors to the Warrior Foundation, I graduated from Campbell University with a BA in Government/Political Science DEBT FREE. These two words have allowed me a future unencumbered by college debt. "
The support Special Operations Warrior Foundation and the donors provided my family the opportunity to accomplish an educational achievement that I would most likely wouldn’t have been able to attempt alone."
While receiving support from the SOWF, I was able to earn my bachelor’s degree. Without their support, I would not have been able to accomplish such a task. That degree has helped with not only my professional life, but also my presentation as a person.
Supporting an organization like SOWF is one to consider. They really are a family of the people they support because they care so much and are there to make sure they go and stay on a successful path. There's no organization like SOWF.”
