Providing a lifeline
“Army Emergency Relief provided me with a lifeline at a time when my hope was severely tested. The amazing caring exhibited by the staff cannot be overstated. The ability to participate in a program for service members that provides emergency financial assistance at a time when need is highest evokes an incredible feeling of thankfulness to those who honor the Soldier’s commitment and sacrifice. I will always be grateful!”
– Sandra Carter, U.S. Army Retired
