June 2025 Battlefield Brief

June is PTSD Awareness Month. At Wounded Veterans Relief Fund, we recognize the invisible wounds of war. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder affects countless veterans who continue to carry the weight of their service long after the uniform comes off.

This month, we stand in solidarity with those who struggle in silence and reaffirm our commitment to putting veterans first—through critical support programs that restore hope, dignity, and stability. PTSD is real. Healing is possible. And no veteran should face it alone.

WVRF Announces Partnership with Florida Veterans Foundation to Expand Dental Care for Florida Veterans Wounded Veterans Relief Fund (WVRF) is proud to announce our new partnership with the Florida Veterans Foundation through the Florida Veterans Dental Grant Program. Thanks to this grant, WVRF has received additional funding to expand access to critical dental care for Florida’s veterans—especially those who do not qualify for VA dental benefits.

With this support, WVRF will be able to provide even more life-changing dental care to veterans across the state, working through our trusted network of nearly 300 dental partners. We are honored to join forces with the Florida Veterans Foundation in our shared mission to serve those who served. Together, we are helping restore health, dignity, and confidence—one veteran at a time.

Thank You for Making the Running for Heroes 5K a Success! Wounded Veterans Relief Fund proudly hosted our Running for Heroes 5K at Riverbend Park, where over 500 runners came together to honor and support our nation’s heroes. The energy, unity, and patriotism on display made this event truly unforgettable.

Thanks to your participation and generosity, we’re able to continue delivering life-changing support to Florida’s wounded and disabled veterans. Every step taken brought us closer to our mission of putting veterans first. Together, we ran for more than a cause— we ran for those who served. Thank you for standing with us.

“I would like to thank the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund for helping me get my teeth fixed. From the very beginning, I was treated with kindness and
professionalism by Jade from your office. I was then referred to Jade Dental, where Dr. Fernandez and her staff were
absolutely amazing. I can’t thank you enough for your support and assistance. This experience has truly made a difference in my life.”

Wounded Veterans Relief Fund is growing and so is the amount of veterans in need! The demand for assistance is overwhelming, and we are now forced to close applications in the first week of each month due to limited funding.
Without recurring donations, we can’t continue to serve the veterans who rely on us. Join our mission and show your patriotism by committing to a monthly donation. With just $25 each month, you can help provide life-changing care and essential assistance to those who bravely served our country. Together, we can ensure no veteran is left behind.
