A Heartfelt "Thank you"

Today as Renae and I work on the letter that we are going to be sending to prospective donors I was writing a paragraph covering Faith's hospitalization in May 2011. When she was hospitalized at Rivendell Behavioral Health Services Hospital    http://rivendellbehavioral.com/    we learned after her inprocessing that Tricare did not cover the expenses occured by us for travel, food, and hotel while she was hospitalized for three weeks. These totalled over $2500. Not getting her help was not an option. She could not stay overnight to complete the inpatient treatment program because of her anxiety, it would have not worked. So the wonderful people at Rivendell came up with a customized plan just for Faith allowing her inpatient treatment but also allowing her to be picked up by her mom after dinner to stay the night with her. Because of their compassion and caring we were able to get Faith Help without scarring her for life. Here at Fort Campbell we have the 101st Airborne Association   http://www.screamingeagle.org/ . This great association came to our rescue and helped us help Faith. Thank you's sometimes are not enough. As I promised CSM St. Louis, who leads the Association and personally called to check on Faith, I intend to make sure everyone is aware of them and the wonderful things the former soldiers of the 101st do to take care of each other. Please take the time to click on the link provided here or at the bottom of the page under Favorites and visit their website and pass the word around. They are selling stones that can be personalized to raise money. These stones will be placed in front of the Division Headquarters around the memorial there. Take a look. Organizations like this are what allow us soldiers to do what we do. They ensure we are taken care of no matter what or when we need help. Thank you 101st Airborn Association and Rivendell!!!
