MCRD Graduations

In 2017 when Hunter completed “boot camp” we took notice of several young marines who during family day and graduation day did not have family supporting them. We discovered many of those marines had parents and family across the United States who could not afford to travel to the Marine Recruiting Depot in San Diego, CA. These young marines were starting off their adult lives serving our country and reaching a milestone in their lives without family present to share it with. With money that was raised for our family after Hunter’s passing we started the foundation and began to set about to change this. To date we have sponsored 28 families and enabled the parents of a young marine to share in this momentous time in their lives. We were able to provide flights, hotel accommodations and ground transportation.

Airport Transportation

After three months of training and being away from home, many for the first time, these marines are eager to get to the airport and fly back home. The foundation recognizes the desire of the marines to get home but also of their families and friends who cannot wait to be reunited. The foundation offers free shuttles to San Diego International Airport to any graduating marine to help them get one step closer to their loved ones.

SERVICE ANIMALS

The foundation has been able to sponsor five service dogs for active/inactive service members.
