Keeping the families of wounded, ill or injured service members together.

Our Crossroads Program provides hotel stays, rental cars, and fully-furnished apartments for families facing medical crisis. 

Having loved ones at a service member’s bedside during recovery from an illness or injury provides encouragement so they can heal faster. It also helps foster stronger family bonds. For many wounded warriors, difficult financial situations can prevent family members from being there while they are healing. Waiting on VA benefits to begin can cause delays in reuniting families, and changes in base policy can mean that children are unable to stay with their parents.

Yellow Ribbon Fund eases this transition process with its Crossroads Program—providing rental cars, hotel stays, and fully furnished apartments for patients and their entire families while at Walter Reed —at no cost to military families. This allows families to be together during vital moments when encouragement and hope are most needed.
