You Can Make A Difference
When our soldiers know that their efforts - and their families back at home - are blanketed in the financial and emotional support of thousands of Americans just like you, they are free to focus on the task at hand.
Your support can make a difference in the lives of our soldiers and their families - building a stronger country for every United States citizen.

Melgar Family
SGT Carlos Melgar was deployed to Iraq. His wife, Tammy, was home, taking care of their three boys and had some difficulties with a creditor which caused her to accrue over $1600 in overdraft fees from her bank. Mrs. Melgar was left with no money to pay the mortgage and was facing foreclosure on the family home. On Thanksgiving, she had no money for the usual Thanksgiving dinner and took her boys to the Palmer Auditorium for the free Thanksgiving meal, crying the whole time.
She contacted the TXNG Family Support Foundation, explaining the situation and was given a $500 grant which kept her from losing their home and having to live in a van with her three boys.
