Wounded Warriors have Families too Phyllis Wilson how can an active military civil servant run a non profit organization, fundraising, travel yet there is no vehicle for any wounded warrior or family member to benefit Fort Rutgers, AL was in DC til she was relocated Internet
When we see an ad or a fundraising event, or approaced to donate, don't we all take pause
when we see a photo or a real person with a missing limb? Don't we pause and want to dig
deep into our pockets and help in any way we can to support those wounded fighting for our
liberties and freedoms? Don't we take pause and want to comfort and support those familiy
members who also suffer right along with their loved one and "wounded warrior"? Now take
pause again. Would you ever imagine that an active military person; a civil servant, would
begin fundraising on behalf of the wounded and their families? Who would suspect someone
wearing camo and boots could behind such a master mind of exploitation? A woman, an army
soldier, a wife ( 2x married, now 2x divorced) a mother, a grandmother.... who would or could
suspect her? Before donating to her "Military Charity", do your research and be willing to stand
up and say NO! No you cannot exploit our men and women and their families. HELL NO & Shame
on you Phyllis Wilson of "Wounded Warriors Have Families Too". Not even an original organization name!
Collecting funds at least since 2013 or 2014, yet not filed for a 501C3 until a year ago? Really?

Wounded Warriors Have Families Too is an IRS Approved 501(c)3 Charity effective October 9, 2015. It took more than 16 months to complete all of the paperwork for approval (which was started in May, 2014). According to IRS guidelines - a Charity in “pending” status can still offer tax deductible donations. The founder of this Veteran focused charity was an active duty Army Soldier when this organization was being started.
No one that has volunteered with this organization has received even one dollar in compensation for their hard work.
