To Whom It May Concern, Your support is greatly needed to assist in the beginnings of “Wounded Warrior House”, a transitional residential housing solution for medically retired veterans. Our Wounded Warriors sacrificed their Minds, Bodies, Families and Careers including our son SSGT Ryan Creel, US Army Retired Combat Photographer. Over 3000 active missions with Special Forces generated a Bronze Star, however the unseen wounds that occurred from PTSD created a unstable transition to civilian life. After many years of denial and finally acceptance of his wounds, our son has most recently sought treatment from a VA Hospital Program designed to prepare him for independent resourceful civilian life. The many years and months that was required to medically retire and seek professional counseling created the beginnings of the “Wounded Warrior House”. We are seeking out personal and corporate monetary donations as well as items that are needed to fulfill our goals for Wounded Warrior House. We have attached a list of suggested items that would assist in our vision to make this house a place for wounded veterans to relax, recreate, and recover. We are presently securing a property to open “Wounded Warrior House” in the first quarter of 2012. We need your assistance to furnish and supply the house. Based on your generosity including donating funds for the purchase of the home and/or equipment or supplies, this will allow us to begin serving wounded veterans immediately. The transition from military to civilian lives requires not only a safe home environment but multiple therapeutic and recreational programs to assist recovering veterans from wounds seen and unseen. Completing the first home for wounded warriors will serve as a model to open numerous Wounded Warrior Houses in the very near future. Please contact “Wounded Warrior House” www.woundedwarriorhouse.com woundedwarriorhouse@gmail.com We have drafted a proposal of our financial requirements and goals for your review. Thank you for supporting your troops. Sincerely, Donald and Pamela Creel Wounded Warrior House P.O.
