We have a special privilege in the Tampa area with the James A. Haley
Veterans Hospital located here. The motto in front of the hospital is,
"The Price of Freedom is visible here". One of the hospital
specialties is the Spinal Cord, Traumatic Brain and Blast Injury treatment
programs. With the current, as well as past military actions, the
center is treating an increased number of these patriots. Our current duty
injured and veterans need their families nearby during recovery from illness
and injury. For those living over 50 miles from the center and
qualifying for aid based on income limits, the Haley House Fund is housing
the families of these veterans during their treatments. Currently we
have supported hundreds of families. This fund needs your support and
help. The staff is all volunteer, so your donation will go directly to
the benefit the injured and ill and their families.
YOUR help is needed NOW In several other Veteran Hospital areas, a
facility has or is being set up, the Fisher House. It will provide a
living space for families while their loved ones are being treated at the
center. Tampa will also have a Fisher House to provide this so
important family support, but it is not expected to be completed until 2007.
But what about the families that need help NOW ?
This is where he Haley House Fund and your help comes into play. It
is in place TODAY providing rooms at a local, nationally known and respected
motel chain at reduced rates. This support is not available for those
that can pay for themselves. The Haley House Fund provides living
arrangements for families to spend needed time with the recovering current
duty injured and veterans. In early April
2005 we opened a comfort center with full kitchen, washing machine and dryer,
television and game area, free to those visiting Haley House. Haley
House will continue to provide services when the Fisher House is available.
But we need your help right now. "No one left behind - including
families" is the fund's motto. Haley House is an important part of
providing peace of mind for our warriors. Please consider a tax
deductible contribution, contact 813.926-1100 or our web at
