Hello~
I recieved an email from Heather this morning regarding Josh. Please read below! This is exciting news for them and if you can help, the contact information is listed below.
Many blessings~
From Heather:
Another benefit which Josh and I WILL BE attending! Fortunately this one is quite a bit closer! Jan is a good friend of ours who got involved with HFOT after hearing of what they were doing for Josh. She decided this is where she wants to give herself to, and help others the way they are helping Josh (however this benefit is specifically for Josh, as stated below!). If anybody is interested in helping in any way, by donating one of the things she suggested below, or just passing this along to somebody you know - hanging it up in your break room, etc... If you are interested, contact Jan - her information is below!
Thanks :)

Hello,
I am Jan Denise Taylor. I have volunteered to host a benefit for "Homes for Our Troops", www.homesforourtroops.org, a non-partisan 501C3 non-profit organization that builds specially adapted homes for severely injured service members (HFOT).

HFOT is, however, unable to furnish the interior of the home including but not limited to furniture, appliances, household goods & products, etc. As well, HFOT/Michigan has plans to build and/or renovate the homes of two additional Veterans.
