iPads for Soldiers

After Winnie Pritchett's oldest son, Wesley, a WestPoint '08 graduate who flies Kiowa Helicopters, was deployed to Jalalabad, Afghanistan she learned that many of our deployed warriors serve in remote regions and have very limited access to TV, internet, cell phones, and no way to carry heavy books or computers in their 110-lb rucksacks. It became obvious to her that the typical care package of candy and magazines wasn't enough. They needed something that allowed them to speak with their families back home, apps that could help them cope with strenuous situations, the ability to share photos with loved ones, watch movies, listen to music, read books, and even learn new skills and stay up to date on their training . . . what they really needed was an iPad.

We are proud to say that our organization is run by an active volunteer-based community, meaning we do not deduct any administration fees. 100% of donations go directly to purchasing iPads. To date we have donated over 13,000 iPads. These donations have impacted thousands of soldiers and hasn't stopped there. In turn, thousands of family members and friends, as well as doctors and therapists, have greatly benefited. 

"iPads for Soldiers" is a charitable fund-raising operation, collecting donations to purchase iPads for US soldiers and shipping them throughout the year to our heroes who are deployed overseas, as well as deliver them in person to surprise the wounded heroes at Walter Reed Military hospital and other military hospitals in the US.  Every holiday season we specifically fundraise to show love and support to our special forces deployed all over the globe in harms way-- from the Middle East to Africa and beyond, as well as to the wounded that end up at Walter Reed for training accidents, deployment injuries, continuation of treatment and surgeries from serious injuries during the war and so much more.
