BearHug by KOAH

SLO Initiative

Advocacy by KOAH

BearHug: send a supportive care package to MilKids who could use some extra love with BearHug! We offer this amazing program to let military children with deployed parents know that they are loved and supported by their peers.

SLOs are available at all military installations and for national guard unit regions. Even with this fairly wide reaching program, the children of military veterans and reserve troops are often left out and underserved. We want to correct this by expanding the SLO field to include all military-connected children, active duty, reserve, and veteran.

From interviews on TV and radio to hosting events for military units, it’s important to let as many people know about KOAH as possible.  Military children often pass invisibly through our civilian communities. In fact, you might be living next to a military-connected family and not even know it!  Your kind donation or volunteered time is essential to completing our mission.

Kids Of America’s Heroes Mission is to raise civilian awareness of Military-connected kids who struggle with unique challenges before, during and after parental deployment. KOAH will advocate and educate civilians enabling them to foster a healthy and safe community for Military-connected kids.

Contributions help to send BearHug Powered by KOAH care packages to Kids Of America's Heroes monthly during parental deployment.

Your donation assists in delivering our goal of SLO in non-military school districts nationwide. The role of the SLO is to provide information, resources, and referrals to military families. SLOs provide school transition assistance and act as a support during the deployment cycle.

 

Contribution to KOAH supports our Military by enhancing our efforts to advocate on the unique challenges military-connected kids encounter.

At Kids of America’s Heroes, we believe that all military-connected children should have access to to trained professionals, skilled in assisting with the realities of military life. Our goal is to have a trained professional military liaison accessible to every school in the US.

This goal won’t be achieved overnight, but it is something to aim for in the future.
We can only make this essential dream a reality with your help and support.
