Fashion for Fighters Kenya

____

The Fashion for Fighters Foundation, supports and raises funds for those wounded, ill, and injured while serving. Through fashion shows and events, Fashion for Fighters raises funds to support the wounded soldiers with resources that are not provided by the government. Fashion for Fighters Kenya was birthed in 2019 by the Fashion for Fighters President, Chris Decker, to seek times of comradery and support to raise funds to support ill and wounded service members in Kenya.

WHO ARE THE WOUNDED

Fashion for Fighters Foundation has been partneting with Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor program. Navy Safe Harbor Foundation (NSHF) has been the Navy Wounded Warrior (NWW) Program’s first call when a Navy or Coast Guard Sailor is in need. More than 6000 Navy and Coast Guard Sailors have enrolled in the NWW Program and that number continues to grow.

Illness

NSHF will have the availability to help coordinate non-medical care demands that frequently arise; such as when a hospitalized Sailor’s spouse can’t afford to travel to be bedside, or when unexpected financial needs make marketing demands of daily life an impossible task.

This year alone, NSHF has filled 138 grants helping Sailors and 40 grants helping caregivers. With your help, the level of support we are able to provide will continue to grow.

CARING FOR CAREGIVERS

Family members often become the primary caregiver for a Wounded Warrior which can impact employment, emotional health, and family stability. Your support makes a difference.
