Six months ago we launched the Military/Civilian Wife Swap page with the simple concept that military wives would post what they need or what they wish for, and civilian wives would grant that need or wish.

The turnout has been hugely successful! As usual, our wives have come through to help each other.

A civilian wife purchased a new crib mattress for a young Army wife in New York who needed one for her baby.
A navy wife in California was in need of a gently used stroller. A civilian wife read her post, and purchased a brand NEW Graco travel system and sent it to her!
Courtney in Virginia is seeking books for the United Through Reading program her husband’s ship is participating in. This program is designed to keep military service members in touch with their children through reading. Several civilian families have graciously donated books.
Lacey in New York needed some clothing and baby gear for her premature baby. A civilian wife stepped forward and sent her a $300 gift card to Target!
Because of the colder weather, several Army wives were in need of infant/toddler snowsuits. Civilian wives read the posts and assisted in keeping the children warm!
Angela Perez, former Army wife turned civilian wife, contacted us to let us know that if there are any military wives in south Florida in need of assistance, she is willing to help personally and through her SAHM support group that she leads in the area.

In the spirit of giving, you have evoked joy and gratitude in the hearts of many military wives and their familes.

We are grateful for your continued support and generosity.
