Danica Thomas & Girls Emergency Fund

Danica and her girls came home to a house fire on Sunday morning. They are all safe, but they have lost nearly all of their belongings. Please consider contributing to help them with their short-term basics while they wait for their insurance claim.

Danica is the widow of US Army SSG Allen Thomas. In March of 2010, her husband was severely injured in Afghanistan and brought to Walter Reed. Danica was pregnant with their first daughter. She became a caregiver overnight and quickly learned they had a long road to recovery. They were stationed back at Fort Bragg in August 2010, where he would rehabilitate and transition to medical retirement at the Warrior Transition Battalion and Womack. They had their first daughter in October. Danica experienced the hard trials and errors of being a new mom and caregiver and an Army wife. They welcomed a second daughter in the Spring of 2013. Tragically in the late summer of 2013, her husband lost his long battle to suicide. As a widow and mother of two, she has made it her mission to work closely with the military community to help prevent future tragedies. Danica has put her heart into helping other caregivers and wounded veterans like her husband.

Danica has turned her family's tragedy into a mission to serve other military families. Please consider contributing to her family as she works again to rebuild from tragedy.
