Home Front Hero: The Aleethia Mission






The Aleethia Mission
The Aleethia Foundation supports recently injured troops in their rehabilitation upon returning home.

Dear Friends and Supporters of The Aleethia Foundation:

We are a small non profit dedicated to helping the newly injured troops. We are just a few people, all volunteers, trying to aid in the initial phase of recovery. We do this by providing dinners and short term recreation outings and small grants.

We have been doing dinners every Friday night since October of 2003. We occasionally take pictures and post them on this site. Most of the dinners are paid for by contributions from individuals and a few from corporations. Some corporations will sponsor a dinner thereby picking up the cost of an entire dinner. The dinners cost from $3,000 to $5,000 per week.

The Capitol Hill Club gives us a substantial cost reduction. Additionally on the nights we are at the Capitol Hill Club, the Harris Ranch donates the steaks. They are outstanding steaks.

Please visit the events portion of this web site to see pictures of the wonderful troops that have been so seriously injured. While most of the troops are combat wounded, some have been injured in other ways. We support all troops that have put on the uniform for this country. How the injury was received in not of concern to us. We appreciate all service. Some of the injuries are from accidents in a combat zone, just not inflicted during a combat operation.

Thank you for visiting The Aleethia Foundation. Your support for the troops is greatly appreciated.

Please pass this on to everyone you know, friends, relatives; everyone can use this mall to support our programs.
While injured troops receive medical care to heal their physical wounds, The Aleethia Foundation honors them with opportunities to enjoy some time away from the hospital environment. Troops say these occasions make them feel truly 'at home'.
