The story begins with an unintended chain of events: an empty seat on an overbooked flight and a heartfelt conversation with a young man seated next to me. He was enroute to Iraq and said, “I am not afraid of dying, but I am afraid of being sunburned.”
I made an offer to send him protective skincare products. He declined stating, “I am uncomfortable receiving something from you knowing not everyone will receive a mail call.” This was the defining moment that changed the trajectory of my life—and ultimately led to the creation of A Soldier’s Hands.
We ensure everyone within the unit we adopt, receives a mail call. It just may the only one they receive. A Soldier's Hands has partnered with Badger Balm, a private family-owned and family-run business in Gilsum, NH. Each gift contains a hand balm, a sunscreen , a lip balm with spf, a handwritten note, a star from a retired American flag and candy. During certain times of the year, candy bags and girl scout cookies are shipped as well.
And, along the way, we keep uncovering inspiring life lessons that I think your audience will appreciate, especially during these times:
We never know where Life is going to take us: How an empty seat changed my life forever.
Believing in the goodness of others: How an 18 year old boy cared more about his friends than himself, and put his trust in a stranger, despite the doubt of his peers.
The joy of giving: How people of all ages and abilities can find fulfillment through service to others.
