Military family reunion

Supporting our Patriots

We support our active duty military members, law enforcement, first responders and disaster relief workers by taking care of their family members so they can focus on serving our country and communities.

Meet One of Our Patriots

Who we help?

We focus on helping patriots who are challenged with the demands of taking care of aging loved ones, because service to our country should never mean sacrificing care for family.

Active Duty Military

We honor those who are active duty and in the reserve components within the six branches: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force. As well as the Army National Guard and Air National Guard.

Law Enforcement

We support patriots who are serving at the state and local level to include: state and highway patrol, and officers and staff of county and local police departments and sheriff offices.

First Responders

We honor our firefighters, EMTs, paramedics and the staff who support them. These patriots respond to emergencies to protect life, property, and the environment.

Disaster Relief Personnel

The disaster environment is chaotic and complex, requiring the full attention of our disaster relief patriots and often takes these patriots emergently away from their homes on short notice and for long and extended periods.

Meet Dr.Wendy — The Heart Behind the Mission

As an Air Force flight surgeon and critical care air transport team physician lead, Dr. Wendy Tong witnessed firsthand the sudden deployments that leave service members scrambling to arrange care for their dependent loved ones. This perspective became deeply personal when her own father sustained a traumatic brain injury, forcing her to rely on 24-hour nursing care so that she could continue working abroad. Realizing the critical need for care among working families with dependents, Dr. Tong founded the Patriots Care Fund to honor and give back to all who serve our country.

Why This Work Matters

Many service members, firefighters, first responders and law enforcement officers and disaster relief personnel take care of aging parents and children and need help to cover for them when they are called to duty. These patriots are often forced to resign, pass over career advancement opportunities, or take extended family leave to take care of their family. When we take care of our patriots' families, our patriots can take care of our communities and our country.

Our Core Values

These core values were inspired by those adopted by our military branches, law enforcement and first responder bodies.

Integrity First

We promise to consistently act with honesty, strong moral principles, and accountability. Our actions will align with our words and we take responsibility for mistakes and taking corrective actions when mistakes are made. This is in service to building trust. Integrity is first because it is the foundation for ethical leadership, fostering reliable relationships, and ensuring dependable decision-making.

Service before Self

We place the mission first and foremost. We serve those who serve. Professional commitments and duties take precedence over the personal desires, comfort, or safety of our board and our staff.

Professional Excellence

We create a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and resourcefulness. Our board and staff take responsibility for outcomes and demonstrate competence, transforming organizational goals into tangible results.

Commitment

Commitment means an unwavering dedication to our goals, our people, and principles, characterized by perseverance, loyalty, and accountability. We promise to follow through on our word, maintaining high standards of quality, and taking initiative, even when faced with challenges
