Melissa Adkins is the wife and caretaker of a disabled combat veteran. Her husband, a former Army Specialist who served two tours in Afghanistan from 2008 to 2012, had been struggling to make ends meet for the family. With three children at home, the family needed help with food and clothing as the colder months approached. This was when Melissa reached out to the AWP Network for support.
Understanding the urgency, the AWP Network connected with the TD Foundation, which generously provided funds for groceries and clothing for the kids. Melissa expressed deep gratitude, sharing, "We are so grateful you were able to help us." Thanks to the support, the family can breathe a little easier, knowing their children will be cared for this season.
