In 2008, the CPT Brian Faunce Fund made a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project. The mission of this non-profit organization is to help injured service members successfully transition into civilian life. The Faunce family believes Brian would be proud to support such an effort. Here are just a few of the services that the Wounded Warrior Project offers injured servicemen and women:

Family Assistance
Injury can create an added financial burden on wounded warriors and their families. During rehabilitation, they help with necessary expenses for families of the wounded, including housing, food, child care, and transportation costs to the hospital so the service member does not have to recover alone.

Benefits Counseling
Benefits counselors work with severely wounded service members as soon as they return to the United States. Counselors provide guidance and help to navigate government benefits available to military personnel and their families. They also help build connections between wounded warriors, establishing a network of peers to provide the necessary assistance, friendship, and inspiration.

Career Building
They help veterans connect with the support and resources they need to build a career in the civilian workforce.

It can be tough to transition into civilian life. It's even tougher to adjust to life after a serious injury. Visit the Wounded Warrior Project here.
