families needing assistance usually contact their
local chapter of Operation Homefront. While we
are expanding operations as fast as we can by opening
new chapters around the country, not all military
families will have a local chapter in their area.
For those who do not, they are encouraged to apply
through the national office. We try our best to
fulfill the need! If you would like to fulfill
the needs of one of families listed below, please click

 A New Roof |
|
| A young spouse of a deployed soldier contacted Operation Homefront with a major home repair crisis. The roof of their home is leaking so severely it is damaging the inside of the home. The family was struggling before the damage to the roof and the family is simply unable to handle this unexpected, very large expense. Operation Homefront advised the family to check with their insurance to see if any or all of the damage would be covered. Unfortunately, due to the age of the roof the insurance company denied payment for any of the repairs. Operation Homefront is seeking help to be able to take care of this repair as soon as possible for the family. Our main concern is to get this repair done so that the service member can focus on his very difficult job and not worry that his family or home is in jeopardy. For more information on his case please contact Vicki Sarracino at 931-431-3553. Please refer to case #NL080073 .

| Maine National Guard Family Needs Vehicle |
|
| Operation Homefront received a plea from the spouse of a deployed Maine National Guardsman. The family contacted us when their 1998 Dodge Caravan , the families only means of transportation, was in an accident totaling the van. The value of the van is not worth the cost of the repairs. The spouse is in jeopardy of losing her job if she cannot find dependable transportation to and from work. There are also two children at home who need to be transported to and from school, doctors appointments, and general transportation. For more information on how you can help this family please contact Vicki Sarracino at 931-431-4553.
