Wounded Warriors Family Support

🎖️ His name was Cpl. Jason L. Dunham. On April 14, 2004, in Husaybah, Iraq, he made the ultimate sacrifice — covering an enemy gr***de with his body to save the Marines beside him. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. 🏅

🏡 Dunham House is his living legacy.

Named in his honor, Dunham House is a first-of-its-kind residential community in Omaha, Nebraska, built to provide long-term, dignity-centered care for combat-wounded veterans — particularly those living with traumatic brain injuries 🧠 — who need more than what the VA or typical support systems can offer.

⭐ The vision belongs to WWFS founder Col. John Folsom: a place where warriors who have seen combat can live together, support one another, and heal in ways that medicine alone cannot achieve. 🤝A place where the bonds of service become bonds of community.

🏠 In September 2025, Dunham House opened applications for residents. This is not a temporary program. It is a permanent home — a promise that America's most severely wounded heroes will never be forgotten. ❤️🤍💙

🏡🎖️ Honoring sacrifice. Building community. Providing lifelong care.

💙Healing is not a solo mission — and for combat-wounded veterans, family is everything. 🫶🏽✨

🏡 Wounded Warriors Family Support's Family Retreats program gives veterans and their loved ones something rare and necessary: uninterrupted time together. ❤️ Time to breathe. 🌿 To laugh. 😄 To reconnect 🤝 — away from the daily demands of recovery, caregiving, and the invisible weight of combat trauma.

🎢🌴 Families have visited Universal Studios, Legoland, Shades of Green, and destinations across the country — all fully customized to accommodate each family's specific disabilities and needs. ♿💙

💬 The words from families say it best:

"I cannot even begin to express the gratitude that my family and I have for being selected for this incredible trip. I have never in my life experienced something so special." 🙏❤️

"Our family had the most amazing time. Thank you WWFS and your generous donors who made this possible." 🌟👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

💞 Because a family that heals together stays together — and these veterans have earned every moment of joy.❤️

Freedom isn't just a word — for a combat-wounded veteran, it can mean turning a key in the ignition on their own terms. 🚗🔑

💙 Wounded Warriors Family Support's Mobility is Freedom program provides grants and customized, mobility-equipped vehicles to veterans who were wounded in combat and now face daily challenges with independence. Since launching in 2015, the program has restored something a discharge form can never measure: the ability to go where you want, when you want, on your own. 🛣️✨

🎉 In October 2025, WWFS and corporate partner Radian Group donated a 2025 Ford F-150 to retired Marine Cpl. John Mevey of Wichita, Kansas.🚙 This moment represents exactly what the program is about.

A vehicle isn't just transportation. It's:
🏥 A doctor's appointment you can make on your own schedule.
🏫 Picking up your kids from school.
💪 Feeling like yourself again.

🔧 Each customized vehicle is built to the specific needs of the recipient — including hand controls, wheelchair lifts, and adaptive technology that turns "I can't" into "I can." ♿🚘✨

❤️ Your support makes this possible. Learn how we're restoring independence one vehicle at a time at wwfs.org.

Behind every wounded warrior is someone who never stopped serving.

👩‍❤️‍👨 Spouses. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents. 🧒 Children. 👧 Siblings.

They stepped up when duty called — not on a battlefield, but in a 🏥 hospital room, at a bedside, and in a life reshaped overnight by combat injury.

❤️‍🩹 Wounded Warriors Family Support's Caregiver Respite Program exists because these heroes deserve support too.

🤝 Our program provides nationwide assistance to caregivers and families of wounded veterans, including:
🍽️ Meal support
🧹 Housekeeping services
✈️ Medical travel grants
🏠 In-home care services

🎯 The goal is simple: ensure that family members thrust into the role of caregiver have the breathing room they need to stay healthy, whole, and present.

💙 Because caregiver burnout is real. The physical and emotional demands of caring for a veteran with a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury can be overwhelming — especially while balancing 💼 work, 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 family, and the responsibilities of everyday life.

WWFS sees you. We support you. And we are here to make sure you do not carry this alone.

When America goes to war — our families go to war too. ❤️🤝

🎖️ Wounded Warriors Family Support (WWFS) was founded in 2003 by Col. John Folsom, USMCR (Ret.), after a visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center changed everything.

🏥 He saw a young service member with a traumatic brain injury, comforted by his mother and sister 👩‍👦‍👧, and recognized a gap that the VA and the Department of Defense alone could not fill.

💙 That moment became a movement — one dedicated to supporting wounded veterans and the families who stand beside them every step of the way. 🇺🇸✨
