We weren’t sure either, so we gave it a go this week for a “Virtual” Christmas party and our computer screens were filled with smiles and laughter from our co-workers. A great way to end the wonderful year we’ve had...
You may not be aware of how our leadership team operates so we’d like to share that with you, our followers, because it’s actually a really great concept.
Every Heroes Thanking Heroes employee, or representative as we’d like to call them, is either a wounded or disabled veteran OR the caregiver/spouse to one. All 40+.
This includes our Leadership Team. Made up of 10 of our Senior Representatives and Directors, our Leadership meets weekly through Zoom video chats to discuss and plan for the upcoming week.
It’s not always calm, there’s bad internet connection, husbands walking (or rolling) through, adorable kids making sure they have their camera time, pets joining the call- you really just never know what could come up at our meetings. But, it certainly makes for a great time when we can take a moment to laugh when the uncertainties come.
Who are we?
Our Director, Sarah, is the wife and caregiver to a wounded marine who lives daily with a bullet still lodged in his head from his combat experiences.
Our representatives are veterans that suffer from severe PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, blindness and so much more.
What makes HTH unique?
The Heroes Thanking Heroes program is unique because we provide a much-needed service, transitional work-from-home employment, to heroes that deserve a chance at a better life regardless of their circumstances or the injuries and illnesses they’ve been faced with. They deserve to feel like they are contributing to their families, their community, and our nation after their service.
What makes our program MOST unique is the friendship and support within our team. We are FAMILY. We’ve worked hard to get here. We’ve had our challenges as a team and many of our representatives have had their own personal road bumps and obstacles but this year, 2018, we’ve been able to virtually help so many veteran families rebuild their lives in times of need.
Our journey maps have no exit ramps. There will always be bumps in the road, but one thing is for sure, we’re not on this road trip alone. We each have a whole virtual team rallied beside us, ready to be there even if it’s just to provide a laugh or listening ear.
For a wonderful year, thank you to our amazing donors. You are what makes this virtual environment, OUR REALITY.
