Save A Life. Leave A Legacy. The Life Chest To Raise $100,000 for Veterans Across the United States
TROY, Mich., May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Life Chest, creator of heirloom quality chests in which to store ones most treasured memories and mementos, has launched a crowdfunding campaign with CrowdRise to raise $100,000 in order to provide 100 Freedom Life Chests to the All Veteran Group in support of Combat Injured Troops and its Therapy In The Air program. The campaign will run from May 1st through June 30th and donations can be made at www.crowdrise.com/LeaveaLegacy/fundraiser/thelifechest.
The Freedom Chest was designed with the direct input of U.S. Army Special Forces members at Fort Bragg and provides a place for veterans to store their memories, accolades, awards, and other treasured items. It will become a tangible source of healing and growth while at the same time serving as a way for a person's legacy to be preserved and shared with family and friends.
"Every time I put an item inside my Life Chest, I think of it as if I'm telling another part of my story," said Mike Elliot, founder & president of All Veteran Group. "And not just items from my time in the military, but things that have shaped who I and are part of my legacy."
All Veteran Group reports our veterans are committing suicide at a rate of 22 lost each day, a staggering statistic that means we're losing a hero every 65 minutes. With programs like Therapy in The Air, our veterans are getting the support they need to find hope in the aftermath of traumatic events and live their lives to fullest.
"There are so many forces in the world that destroy, but we believe in the power of the human spirit," said Donna Yost, CEO of The Life Chest. "Nothing can stand a chance against a human spirit filled with the power and determination of hope!"
