Spoken From The Frontline - A Tribute To Our Warriors

OUR TRIBUTE TO WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT! WE RAISED 16,010L$! ALL FEES WERE COLLECTED BY WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT ORGANIZER, A LINDEN LABS APPROVED NON-PROFIT VENDOR!

Worth The Fight

Every year, thousands of soldiers return to their home country with the deep scars of war. Some deeper than others, some more visible than others and yet they are treated the same by their home government. However, every soldier is not the same. They do not share the same scars or the same experience and therefore, they cannot receive the same treatment. Wounded Warriors Project aims to individually treat soldiers who many otherwise be left on the VA assistance list for a longer period of time. 

The Simple Things

When you donate to Wounded Warrior Project, a soldier receives a backpack with a calling card, clothes, food, hygiene products and other amenities that will help him get his life back on track and hopefully, get him on his way home. When you donate a car or truck is filled with gas that offers a soldier a ride from base to home. When you donate a soldier gets a job that will not only start his career but help his mind stay focused and out of the depression of war. When you donate to WWP, you save a soldiers life that helped protect yours. 

#IotaStrong

Iota Sigma Rho SL Sorority is strong because we are comprised of REAL WOMEN who have sons that are active duty Marine and Army, Cousins off shore in the Navy and Reserves and veterans in our own ranks. We stand by our military men and women because they make the decision every day to answer the call of our country, despite their political and social beliefs. They choose to arm their homeland with their life and fight for a freedom that is not free. When you see #IotaStrong, know that we are #ArmyProud, #NavyProud, #MarineMomProud, #AirforceProud and we are PRHOud to support our veterans and active duty military. 

Special Thanks

We would like to thank Lady China for Djing the first half for us and a special thanks to our Vet. Dj Blue2Smooth for sharing his stories and letting us know things that mean a lot to veterans when the return home. That is priceless information that will help us improve our efforts and therefore improve the quality of life in every soldier.

Winter Family Day 2013 -- Children's Information Drive!

Tomorrow we kick off our end of the year effort to complete our charitable services information database! We have been working hard, since our re-activation this past spring to get a database compiled of various charitable organizations; large and small, local and city-based, to release to the public!

The purpose of this database is to offer anyone who may be in need, options for help. Because, we all need help sometimes. This list would be completely public and we will not be able to know who may need it. So, regardless of who are and what your circumstances, you can recieve help.

Recap of Philanthropic Efforts & Information Collected This Year:

August: Cell Phone For Soldiers/ Purple Heart - Nationwide Access & Contact Helplines Collected

September: Rep Your Branch - Every branches personal (individual) charity contact information was collected.

October: Women Warriors - Susan G. Komen Statewide Information was collected for every sister. 

November: STOP! Cyber Bullying Forum - NoH8 & small local  (to the sisters) information was collected.

November: Canned Food Drive (Salvation Army) - 160 cans were taken to local banks and the Salvation Army. Every reporting participant provided contact information on their local food bank. 

December: 2013 Winter Family Day / Childrens Information Drive - The purpose of this event is to receive purely local children's charity information in efforts to provide the RL children of active Secondlife parents the opportunities to receive help. It is the observation of this sorority that a lot of Secondlife members have children, often young. With a lot of financial hardships this season, it is important to impact peoples real lives now, more than ever. We are asking for organizations that have coat drives or toy drives specifically! 

This list will be released on our; website, blog, facebook page, facebook account, partners n service group, supporters group and all of our sisters pages on December 22nd, 2013. (The last Iota Day of the Year :) ) 

If you bring your filled NC on Saturday, you could win a prize from this list of generous sponsors
