The Wounded Heroes Fund (WHF) is a community-wide organization dedicated to providing assistance to brave service men and women returning home from the battlegrounds of Iraq and Afghanistan. Wendy Porter, the daughter of a Vietnam veteran, realized that more needed to be accomplished, especially for service members and their families to resume life after war. She could not help her father and other returning Vietnam veterans. However, as Executive Director of the WHF, she is leading the effort to help the men and women who fought for our freedom in the Middle East.

WHF Mission

•	Acknowledge and honor the individuals who have sacrificed so much for our country.
•	Help with the unmet needs of the wounded and deceased and their families without bringing undue stress into their lives.
•	Organize visits to military hospitals to distribute “care packages” highlighting the best of Bakersfield, and provide a meal and entertainment for the patients and families.
•	Build a broad-based community effort to raise funds and ensure that our service members know that they are appreciated.

In honor of TSgt Mike Gambill
