Home Sweet Home Campaign's TShirts 4 Soldiers-Helping You Connect with Deployed Family and Friends

(I-Newswire) August 17, 2009 - Mesa AZ – The Home Sweet Home Campaign's new program TShirts 4 Soldiers is helping people connect with their deployed loved ones. This unique and fun way to send a piece of your heart and home to a Service Member you love, is making a big splash in the military world. Spouses, children, mothers and more are designing "one of kind" TShirts and having them shipped directly to their loved one. In turn, Service Members are sending TShirts they have designed back home to their family and friends.

The TShirts 4 Soldiers program touches three very important groups of people; Military families and friends living stateside, deployed Service Members and post 9/11 veterans who have returned from the war. Photina Haumschilt, wife of a deployed sailor stated, "TShirts 4 Soldiers is a wonderful program. It gave my girls and me something special and different to do together that we could send to my husband. We had a great time making the design together as a family. My oldest daughter saw a picture of the TShirt and is so excited that her daddy will be able to wear it soon. Thank you for this program! We loved doing it."

Nearly any design can be printed on the TShirts. The program has received hand drawn pictures, photographs, digital art and hand written messages. Beth Ann VanHoose, founder of the Home Sweet Home Campaign stated "The designs being submitted are incredible. Every time I receive a new order my heart just skips a beat. You can just tell how much love and thought has gone into the design".

For every TShirt sold, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to USA Cares Warrior Treatment Today Program. This USA Cares program seeks to remove the financial barrier that prohibits veterans who have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), receive the treatment they need. Deirdre, a wife of a deployed soldier and daughter of a Vietnam Vet who suffered from PTSD, was thrilled to support the cause and design a special TShirt for her husband. When asked about the program she said, "A soldier thousands and thousands of miles away in a foreign land will smile once again... upon receiving this TShirt! The Happiness is PRICELESS! I can't thank the Home Sweet Home Campaign enough!"

About the Home Sweet Home Campaign
The Home Sweet Home Campaign was inspired by Tim Little; a US Army reservist who served two tours in the Middle East and currently suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Little and his family nearly lost their home while he was being evaluated by the VA, but thanks to USA Cares, they were able to stay in their home and focus on the future and healing.

The Home Sweet Home Campaign has pledged to raise $1 million dollars for USA Cares Warrior Treatment Today Program. Raising funds through the TShirts 4 Soldiers and Groups That Care programs, the Campaign will be helping wounded veterans and their families keep their homes while the veteran receives the treatment he or she needs and deserves. For every product sold, a portion of the proceeds will be donated directly to USA Cares.
