Support Major Ben Richards

Major Ben Richards Fund

Major Ben RichardsAs many SFTT readers are aware, Major Ben Richards suffered debilitating injuries while serving in Iraq.  His poignant story was featured in a lengthy column in the New York Times by Nicholas Kristof in August.  Prompted by that story and the lack of support he has received from the VA, SFTT put Major Ben Richards in touch in Dr. Paul Harch who accepted Major Richards into the Harch Hyperbarics program, a cutting-edge alternative to deal with traumatic brain injuries and brain disorders.

As reported earlier by SFTT news release Major Ben Richards Is Not Forgotten, our “You Are Not Alone” campaign needs your support to help Major Richards and his family to recover from this serious injury.  Please contribute what you can.  Warriors like Ben Richards deserve our support and that of a thankful nation.
