Operation Homefront is asking residents and business in the Hinesville area for their assistance to help a service member in need.
On Dec. 5, a 28-year-old Army specialist came home from Iraq on R&R (rest and recuperation) to find his wife had taken everything and left him with an empty house. This soldier has nothing left: no car, money, household furnishings, clothing for himself or his four children - and no Christmas. The children, ranging in ages from 2 to 7, were left with a next-door neighbor. To make matters worse for this soldier, two of his children have birthdays coming up this week.
Operation Homefront is asking to community to make a monetary donation to assist this family in need. Donations of new or gently used household furnishings and gift cards from such places as Wal-Mart, Target and Toys “R” Us would be appreciated.
For more information, visit online at www.operationhomefront.net/georgia. Please mark all donations with case number: GA0700131 to ensure funds are directed to this family.
Those interested may also call Operation Homefront of Georgia at 800-390-2115.
