Mission Statement
Our mission is as clear as the ocean on a crisp morning: we are here to provide more than just emotional support. We are here to be the unwavering pillar for those struggling to navigate the complex web of VA benefits. We lend a compassionate ear, a safe space where frustrations can be vented, and where the truth can be spoken aloud: the loss of our husbands was a grievous fault of the government. But we don't stop there. We recognize the overwhelming burden that legal proceedings under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act bring, stirring anxiety and emotions like a tempest at sea. That's why we've introduced our Buddy service, a guiding light for those in need of extra support, a steady hand to hold amidst the storm.
Description
Welcome to our Marine Family, a tight-knit community forged from strength, resilience, and shared experiences. In the heart of our organization lies a deep sense of camaraderie, where the bond among us, Marine widows, is unbreakable. Our story begins with brave husbands who proudly served their country as Marines, their valor shining bright even in the face of an unexpected tragedy.
From the ashes of adversity, our organization emerged, born from a determined Facebook group where widows found solace, understanding, and unwavering support. We stand united, offering a warm embrace to fellow widows who, like us, lost their husbands due to the toxic water at Camp Lejeune.
Looking ahead, we are not just a support network; we are a beacon of hope. In the future, we aspire to extend our helping hand even further by offering financial support to widows in need, because we understand that sometimes, life's rough waters require more than just emotional strength.
If our organisation and cause is something that touches your heart, then we would love to hear from you.
