Project New Hope is a non-profit organization that puts on retreats for veterans and their families. When our soldiers return home they are faced with many issues that can be overwhelming to the families. If they are married they may find it hard to adjust to their new role with their spouse who has been running things during their absence. There may be financial strains on the family as a result of their deployment which can cause stress, resentment and actual loss among other things. One sad statistic involving veterans is that many relationships they are in including marriages do not survive the return of the veteran. This is especially hard on any children involved. Project New Hope uses its retreats to help families address the problems involved with a veteran returning home.
Project New Hope is 100% privately funded and relies heavily on fundraising events. If anyone is interested, this Sunday from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm, at Biagios Grille on Park Ave Dick Doherty will be performing and half the proceeds will go to Project New Hope. http://www.projectnewhopema.org/ Also on Saturday March 26th the Worcester Sharks are partnering with Project New Hope to present this season's Hereos Night! Tickets, which are $15.00 each ($20.00 face value), can be bought through Project New Hope at http://www.projectnewhopema.org/ and the Worcester Sharks at http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sharksahl.com%2F&h=885bf.
