Welcome to Impact A Hero! x

Mission

Imagine waking up every day without one or more of your limbs, with severe burns, paralyzed, brain injury, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. For thousands of War on Terror wounded veterans these are just some of the physical realities and challenges which will remain with them the rest of their lives – they need our support and help.

Impact A Hero provides immediate and ongoing emotional and financial support for our severely-wounded post-9/11 combat veterans and their families.

Under the official non-profit entity Impact Player Partners, Impact A Hero gives individuals and corporations a simple mechanism for providing maximum impact to those who have sacrificed for our freedoms.

Emotionally our wounded heroes need to know that every American appreciates the sacrifices our wounded heroes have made – it’s our turn to fight for them. Financially our wounded heroes deserve every American’s support to help pay for everyday living expenses, not to mention their new special needs such as retrofitting a house for a wheelchair. Our programs include helping our heroes through: Impact A Hero Day at Sporting and Entertainment Venues, Impact A Hero Emergency Financial Aid and Impact A Hero Mentoring as well as our Annual Impact a Hero Weekend.

“Our focus is clearly on helping our wounded heroes in a timely fashion with no bureaucracy. If they need financial help we get it to them fast. If they need an emotional lift by meeting one of their sports heroes then we fight through the roadblocks and get that accomplished.”
- Dick Lynch, founder

Testimonials

Last month I was in a bad situation and had no one to turn to. I came across the Impact a Hero Website and contacted them for help. It’s not easy for a Veteran or soldier to ask for help, but Impact A Hero came through like nothing I could have ever imagined. For the first time in a very long time, I truly feel like a Hero who is not forgotten, and the sweat, blood and tears I shed for my country, are truly appreciated. Thank you Impact a Hero, You have forever impacted my life in a positive…SGT. Castellanos, Marlon (Ret) Wounded Combat Vet (OIF 2, OIF 4)

I wanted to express my humblest thanks, and respect. What you have done has immediately and greatly impacted mine and my families lives for the better.
I can't put into words what you have created for me, freedom is the word that fits best. Freedom from the weight of obligations that can feel crushing at times, taking the beauty out of life that I should be so grateful to still have. Unfortunately, the insignificant, and immaterial can sometimes be so stifling you can't see what is…SSG Marco A. Dominguez- U.S. Army, retired

I wanted to send my deepest and most sincere appreciation to your organization for providing my family with assistance in our time of need. I have struggled severely with PTSD and have contemplated suicide or leaving my family. I was able to hold down a job, but due to stress, my PTSD continued to flare up. I entered the VA Inpatient PTSD Trauma Treatment for combat veterans in July, and will remain here for several months. Through the grace of God I continue to get better, however I have now…Joseph Shaffer

We cannot say enough about Impact A Hero! Our family came to them during a very difficult time in our life asking for help and they responded immediately. Impact a Hero helped us through the process and ensured that our family would not only be able to make it through this difficult time, but we would also be able to have a great Christmas for our children and family. Words cannot express the gratitude we have Impact A Hero. This is one organization that actually does what it says,…Corporal Demario Hicks and family

My husband and I would like to tell you how eternally grateful we are for your help during a very difficult time right now. Words could never begin to express how truly grateful we are for your financial assistance. My husband, since his injuries, has declined so much. Also at the same time, our daughter has become critically ill. Through the help we received we were able to pay towards their medical expenses and bills we have accumulated.Clint, Courtney and family

In my particular case and point of view, the real hero is my wife. Although she did not shoot a bullet in the line of duty, she battled on her own to keep our family together, to be my caregiver and the mother of our daughters. I believe that when a Soldier goes to war, the Family also goes to war. When a Soldier is wounded, the Family is also wounded.
Impact a Hero has made not only an on impact on me, but to all the other heroes which they have helped. It is overwhelming the…Hugo L. GonzalezArmy Specialist - retired

Thank you so much for your help with my lawn, you have made my home a more comfortable place. I actually have grass! I also planted some apple trees and peach trees. Added some mulch around the birch trees, now in the process of making a new walk way, and have been able to purchase all or most of the tools I will need to maintain these features and landscape. Again thank you, thank you, thank you for your help with this.Ryan ShurtleffSergeant, retired
