Veterans Day 2015

Dear Friends & Supporters,

Today we encourage you to take a moment to remember our Veterans and all those who have served our nation in the armed forces.  It is because of their service, sacrifice and bravery that we enjoy our freedom today.

"All gave some, some gave all"... It's not just a catchy phrase.  It is the truth that has carried our great nation through many wars and many battles.  We at Healing Heroes Network will forever be grateful for those Heroes who fought, and continue to fight, for our freedom.

As we honor our military veterans for their service and sacrifice today, let us also remember that we must stay vigilant in our support of these brave men and women.

THANK A VETERAN TODAY!

For Our Troops,

The Healing Heroes Network Team 

Charity Pub Crawl to raise funds for injured Service Members!

Healing Heroes Network is excited to announce their Semiannual "Pub Crawl for Heroes" on Saturday, November 07, 2015 in Downtown Dunedin! Participants will be "crawling" to five bars (Chic-A-Boom Room, Dunedin House of Beer, Dunedin Brewery, Sea Sea Riders, and Rosie's Tavern), all the while raising funds to help our injured service members.

Pub Crawl participants will receive drink specials all night long and will be eligible for great giveaways and raffles! Advanced tickets are only $20 and include a FREE T-Shirt!

Healing Heroes Network's previous "Pub Crawl for Heroes" brought out over 100 participants and raised funds that enabled Healing Heroes Network to provide financial assistance for quality care to injured military personnel.

Healing Heroes Network is a 501(c)3 charitable organization based out of Palm Harbor, FL. Healing Heroes Network provides financial assistance for quality care to military personnel injured in the line of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan on or after September 11, 2001.

About Healing Heroes Network

After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and the subsequent war on terror, thousands of members of our armed forces have been injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Often these men and women are unable to receive the treatments that would facilitate their return to a productive civilian life. While the Department of Veteran Affairs provides treatment to these troops, the scope of covered services is limited, sometimes unavailable, and often delayed.

Healing Heroes Network was founded in 2008 by Dr. Allan Spiegel and his wife Stacey in order to fill these gaps. Healing Heroes Network, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, was formed with a network of caring providers throughout the United States to facilitate the treatment process. Healing Heroes Network provides financial assistance for those desperately needed therapies and services.

For more information on Healing Heroes Network or how you can donate and support our mission, please visit our website at www.HealingHeroes.org.

A Hero's Story

Healing Heroes Network is proud to provide financial assistance for treatment and therapy services to post 9/11 combat injured service members.  Read here about active duty hero Bret G...  

After 5 tours deployed to Afghanistan and 1 to Iraq left him suffering from PTSD, Bret reached out to Healing Heroes Network for help in obtaining and Alpha-Stim Unit.  This device uses cranial electrotherapy stimulation to reduce the symptoms of PTSD such as anxiety, insomnia and depression.

After applying for financial assistance through Healing Heroes Network, Bret was approved and soon received his very own Alpha Stim Unit to use at home to help ease his suffering.   

Here's what Bret had to say:

"I was suffering from severe anxiety and PTSD from multiple deployments.  The clinic on my base utilized 3 loaner Alpha-Stim devices which work wonders for patients with these conditions but could only provide treatment in office (I went in every chance I could get for 20 minute treatments).  TRICARE does not cover the Alpha-Stim despite years of proven effectiveness for sufferers of PTSD (with no drug side effects), so the doctors could write a prescription of individual use but the full cost was borne by the user (very expensive).  Healing Heroes Network came to my rescue and bought me an Alpha-Stim which I now use regularly at home.  I will now be able to address my symptoms without the aid of excessive medications and the uncomfortable side effects.  I cannot express enough how much I appreciate the help and assistance of Healing Heroes Network!  Thank you!!!!"

Healing Heroes Network is proud and honored to assist Heroes like Bret in finding hope and healing after serving our great nation!

#MilitaryMonday

Greetings from Healing Heroes Network, and HAPPY MONDAY!

There has never been a better time in our country to show support of our military heroes than RIGHT NOW... With the ongoing conflicts overseas as well as the traumatic events happening right here at home, it is time we show our service men and women that we stand behind them in all they do, that we are grateful for their efforts to keep us safe, and that we appreciate their courage and bravery in the line of duty!

Healing Heroes Network proudly supports military personnel injured in the line of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan by providing financial assistance for quality treatment and therapy services that are desperately needed, and are not being provided to them.  Don't our #MilitaryHeroes deserve the best?!  

Visit www.HealingHeroes.org for more information and to see how you can make a difference in the lives of our nation's true American Heroes.

Have a wonderful week!

Remembering 9/11

If someone were to ask you, "Where were you on the morning of September 10, 2001?", you would have no recollection at all.  If someone were to ask you, "Where were you on the morning of September 11, 2001?", you would not hesitate to reply.  It is a day we will never forget, one that is etched into our history forever.  It was 14 long years ago, but the pain is still fresh, the memory of the horror we all felt as Americans still so vivid.

As we take time to reflect on the 14th Anniversary of this day and the events that led to the tragic loss of so many American lives, let us come together to grieve, to remember, and to express our gratitude to those who demonstrated what it is to be a hero, and to pledge ourselves to live in honor of their bravery.  

It is because of this day that Healing Heroes Network was created, to honor the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women who freely chose to face the enemy and defend our nation.  At Healing Heroes Network, WE WILL NEVER FORGET, and we will always be there to help our heroes as they return home to us.  

Reflect with us today.  Remember the fallen heroes of 9/11/01, and show your support, every day, for the heroes still fighting the good fight.

For Our Troops,

The Healing Heroes Network Team 

#WarriorWednesday

Happy Wednesday from Healing Heroes Network!   We hope everyone had a great, long Labor Day weekend, and that you are all enjoying your short work week!   

Wednesday falls smack dab in the middle of the week... some call it "Hump Day", and we all can relate to that feeling of restlessness that accompanies most Wednesday's throughout the long stretch of our hectic schedules. 

Introducing... #WarriorWednesday! 

#WarriorWednesday means many things to many different people and organizations.  But to Healing Heroes Network, it means taking an opportunity to remind ourselves that we have WARRIORS fighting for our country EVERY day.

We want to hear about the special Warriors in YOUR life!  Every Wednesday, we encourage you to send us an email telling us all about the loved one in your life who has served in the armed forces, is currently serving, or sacrificed their lives in service to our country.  Please send all emails to:  info@healingheroes.org.

Thank you so much for supporting our nation's Warriors, on Wednesday and EVERY day!

Happy Fourth of July from Healing Heroes Network!

Dear Friends & Supporters, 

The Fourth of July makes us think of fireworks, barbecues, parades and get-together's with family and friends...  These privileges and liberties we take for granted would not be possible without the courage and bravery of our nation's service men and women.

At Healing Heroes Network, we can't wait to celebrate America's Freedom and Independence, that's what it's all about!   We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you all to celebrate the brave Heroes all over our country who have fought and are STILL fighting to preserve that very freedom and independence to this day...  

Today, amidst the chaos, parties, food and fireworks, we hope that you will take a moment to THANK A HERO, and pay your respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us to enjoy this inspirational, American holiday.

From all of us at Healing Heroes Network, we wish you a happy and safe Fourth of July!  

For Our Troops,

The Healing Heroes Network Team

            

PTSD Awareness Day

You may have heard the words "invisible injuries" before, or even the term "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" (PTSD).  But did you know that most of today's retired combat service members are returning home from the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan with this debilitating disorder?  It is hard to diagnose because it is hard to talk about. But our Heroes do not leave the sights, sounds and emotions of what they experience on the battlefield, and the symptoms of PTSD are becoming increasingly worse because of the negative stigma surrounding the term.  

PTSD is claiming families, personal relationships, careers, and even lives.  

We NEED to talk about it.

Starting in 2010, Congress named June 27th "PTSD Awareness Day". The purpose of this day is to remember that not everyone who came home from war, left the war. By raising public awareness of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder AND its effective treatments, we are opening the door for our heroes to know it is okay to come forward and ask for help. 

Join Healing Heroes Network today and start a conversation about PTSD and how we can help our nation's Heroes overcome it.  Together, we can all help those affected by PTSD.  

For more information on ways to help, visit www.HealingHeroes.org.

Did you know??....

Greetings from Healing Heroes Network!

As summer is upon us, what are some of the things that you enjoy doing with your family for fun?  The kids are almost out of school, the weather is bright and sunny, and that summertime excitement and sense of freedom is in the air...

Did you know that SeaWorld Parks all over the country offer FREE admission passes for military service members and their families?? Waves of Honor is a program that permits any U.S. active duty military, activated or drilling reservist, or National Guardsman to one complimentary park admission per year for military personnel and as many as three direct dependents!  Most parks have a veteran program as well, if you are not currently active duty.

All you have to provide is your proof of military status, and your family could be off on an exciting summertime adventure at one of these great theme parks:

SeaWorld
Aquatica

Busch Gardens
Sesame Place
Adventure Island

Be sure to check it out, and from all of us here at Healing Heroes Network, we wish you all a safe and happy summer!

Lighthouse Project with BB & T Bank

      

Healing Heroes Network is excited to announce that we were chosen for the 2015 BB&T Lighthouse Project!

The Lighthouse Project is an initiative that BB&T embarked on several years ago, a company wide program to make a positive difference in the communities where BB&T branches are located.  When a BB&T Association Services representative contacted us at Healing Heroes Network, asking us to be a part of this amazing project, we were thrilled to accept the offer! The Lighthouse Project will be supporting two crucial Healing Heroes Network programs:Tablets For Heroes and Morale Packages.  

Tablets For Heroes is a program committed to helping veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), after serving in Iraq or Afghanistan since 9/11/01, by providing them with tablet computers for cognitive re-development, memory assistance and much more.  The Morale Package program strives to show our service men and women stationed overseas that we care and support them, by sending care packages to military bases deployed abroad with some of the comfort items from home that we take for granted, spreading hope and boosting morale among their bases.

The Lighthouse Project will be donating a number of tablets to Healing Heroes Network for the Tablets For Heroes program, and will also be purchasing and putting together Morale Packages for HHN to send overseas to military bases deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.  We are so excited to have this kind of support and partnership, right here in our own backyard!

If you live in the Tampa Bay area and have a loved one serving overseas, we would love to send their base a Morale Package, sponsored by BB&T Bank Association Services and The Lighthouse Project!  Or, if you are a service member in the Tampa Bay area suffering from PTSD and/or TBI, and could benefit from the use of a tablet computer for cognitive assistance, we would love to get you approved for a Tablet.  Please contact Healing Heroes Network at (727) 781-4376, or email us at info@healingheroes.org.

Thank you to the team at BB&T Bank!
