Believe in Heroes – Support Wounded Warrior Project & Save on Groceries! #BelieveinHeroes #sponsored

I’m participating in the 2014 Believe in Heroes blogger campaign and received compensation as part of the program.

I’m thrilled to share with you an amazing organization called Believe in Heroes. This organization has helped raise more than $16 million for the Wounded Warrior Project which in turn has helped serve more than 40,000 wounded service members.

What Is Believe In Heroes?

Believe in Heroes was created in 2010 in collaboration with Acosta Sales & Marketing to make a positive impact on the new generation of injured service members who have made significant sacrifices to preserve our freedoms and protect our country. Most veterans face challenges as they transition back into civilian life, and today's wounded veterans are meeting extraordinary obstacles including, the physical injuries as well as invisible ones, like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It’s time for EVERYONE to take part in ensuring our injured service members are well taken care of.

Beginning September 7, 2014 and running through Veterans Day, November 11, 2014, Believe in Heroes calls on Americans to show their support and appreciation for our service members and newest generation of veterans in a simple everyday way — grocery shopping. Each participating brand and retailer will help raise funds and awareness for WWP through the Believe in Heroes campaign.

What is The Wounded Warrior Project?

Wounded Warrior Project (founded in 2003) is a veterans service organization that offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans of the military actions (Iraq and Afghanistan) following the events of September 11, 2001.

The vision of Wounded Warrior Project is to “foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history” by raising awareness of the needs of severely injured service members. Honoring and empowering Wounded Warriors is their mission.

ABK Creations Review and Giveaway

 Featured Sponsor

A military wife turned business woman and crafter extraordinaire.

I am so excited to introduce ABK Creations, a unique shop, with unlimited options!

The amazing colors and design really makes these beanies unique! You can bet your ABK Creations beanie will be made with care, and shipped as quick as Abbey's fingers can whip them up!

a little more about the lady behind the creation, abbey : 

 

Abbey learned to crochet from her late grandmother at a very young age, but never really took it up until they lived overseas in Japan. With a new baby and a broken foot, she didn't have much to do but sit around and make stuff. So Abbey started making and selling hats at a local craft store on base. She decided it was something she really wanted to pursue when they moved back stateside, and voila ABK Creations was born. Every hat she makes is done with creativity and lots of love!

 

... for both girls and boys...
