Life Needs
The Life Needs Program provides emergency financial assistance to military families based on needs that arise from financial hardships faced when a service member is wounded, facing multiple deployments, killed in action or suffering from injuries received in the line of duty. We also assist Gold Star families who have lost a loved one to the war or post war suicide resulting from complications from PTSD and/or other injuries. Our charter requires there is at least one child 18 or under currently in the home to be eligible for assistance.
To begin you must download the application to your computer and all required documents to esnelz@helpinghandsforfreedom.org
All documents required must be submitted within 2 weeks of the original request. Your application will not be considered or sent to the committee until all documents have been received in readable condition. The application is then sent to our committee and their decision is final.
These payments can include lease, mortgage, insurance, car payments, utility bills, and some travel expenses.
These payments do not include money for groceries, gas or direct cash paid to the service member or family.
