Since its inception Hope For The Warriors (HOPE) has strived to support the entire military through its programs, particularly spouses and caregivers. We all know that the entire family serves, and many continue to serve even after their warrior is out of the service due to injuries and unforeseen life changes from said injuries.

PTSD Awareness: Supporting Our Heroes on the Home Front
When the brave men and women of our Armed Forces take the oath to defend our freedoms, they are committing their minds and bodies to protect our nation at all costs. For over eight million service members and veterans, the effects of war and service have led to PTSD, putting strains on their relationships, careers, and overall well-being. Understanding this impact on our military community and their families, Hope For The Warriors works each and every day to provide resources, programs, and services dedicated to improving the quality-of-life for all those with PTSD.
Partnership Provides Path to Extra Income for Military Spouses
“We need some extra income.” It’s a phrase that has been uttered in most every military home at one time or another. It is usually followed by “how” and “where.” Hope For The Warriors and Milspo Academy powered by CareerDash are attempting to answer both the “how” and the “where” for the military spouse and caregiver community by creating a partnership to help in the search for meaningful education and employment opportunities.
Grit, Resilience, and Determination Defines Sika Henry
The term resilience means to become stronger or healthy after something terrible happens, but the word resilience may not be adequate to describe Sika Henry. In 2019 she suffered a traumatic bike accident that would have ended all career goals for most people. However, through grit and determination, Sika defied the odds and traveled a road to recovery.
When All is Said and Done…
When all is said and done, you have to be okay with what you built for yourself in this military life.
When the orders stop coming & the zip codes stop changing, the foundation you built for yourself and your family during this time of service will be the support for your next chapter.
AWTR Show #896: How to Navigate Grief
Today’s Milspouse Empowerment Moment is about something that still feels taboo to talk about, but shouldn’t be. Amber gives us some tips on how to navigate grief. She shares her personal journey and lessons she has learned.
Scholarship Gives Milspouses Hope for Future
When Hope For The Warriors created its Spouse/Caregiver Scholarship Program 15 years ago, it had people like Evanna Burgwardt in mind.
Burgwardt is the wife of a Green Beret. It’s a life she was unsure of when she first met her husband. Six years later, that life has made her stronger, more independent, and sure of herself. She believes that strength and confidence made her a better nurse in the past few years. She also knows it has been crucial in her quest to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
At Military Hospitals, Yoga Offers Calm in the Storm
Like many military spouses living in the greater Washington, D.C. area, I get my medical care at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Sitting in the lobby at a recent medical appointment, I couldn’t help but notice how busy the place was. People coming in and out, wounded warriors heading to appointments, medical equipment being delivered, staff members rushing to their next shift, and patients receiving critical care.
AWTR Show #877: Ohana Homefront Foundation
It’s okay to not be okay. Sometimes one good smile or one ear to listen can make all the difference. The founders of Ohana Homefront Foundation (OHF) wanted to make sure that families were taken care of so that the service members could focus on their job and vice versa.
