YM/SSgt Luke Sliwinski's Fundraising Page
As a SSgt in the Young Marines, and also as a youth motivational speaker for Operation Ward 57s Honor & Courage program, I understand the sacrifices our nation\'s Heroes make for each one of us. Ever since I was about 4 years old, I have spent countless hours with our wounded Veteran\'s supporting them, motivating them, and many of them have become a part of my family. I also see the struggles that many of them have on a day to day basis. Some of them from physical wounds, and some of them from \"invisible wounds\" - PTSD. I have pledged to do whatever I can to make sure that their lives are easier and to also help stop the very real problem of Veteran suicide from PTSD. Your donations help make a difference in our Heroes lives and I can\'t do this without your help. No donation is too big or too small.
Thank you very much and Semper Fi!

About Operation Ward 57
The mission of Operation Ward 57 is to support wounded, injured and ill service members, veterans, their caregivers and those that aid in their recovery by providing assistance and outreach in their recovery, comfort and morale, and through advocacy, education and promotion of their circumstances. The longstanding wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have created an unprecedented number of severely wounded American Service Members. Ward 57 was the Amputee Ward at Walter Reed Army Medical Center; now Deck 4 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. This hospital ward sees some of the most critically wounded service members at a transformational time in their lives. Operation Ward 57 directly serves those recovering at Walter Reed and provides services nationwide to all military branches including members that are still active duty, retired or Veterans of OIF/OEF/OND. Caregivers and some medical staff also qualify for services. Programs include comfort, hygiene & morale items, patient visits in the hospital, children & family room supplies, holiday cheer events, small emergency grants, case management, wounded hero mentorship, 24 hour Veteran Crisis Hotline, morale boosting events and more. Operation Ward 57 was started to have a direct way for individuals and companies to show their support and raise funds for these courageous men and women who have given so much.
