You Can Help (Soldier's Family needs help!)

Sergeant Joseph Bozik, an Airborne Soldier with the 118th MP Company (Airborne) from Ft. Bragg, was recently wounded. He has lost both legs and an arm from a landmine, is not not conscious and has many medical complications. On Monday, Sergeant Bozik will be flown into Walter Reed from Landstuhl (Germany).

Unfortunately, the family doesn't have enough money to maintain themselves in a hotel (let alone buy food) for an extended period. The Army paid for airfare for 2 family members and Soldiers' Angels paid for airfare for 2 two more. The Angels can cover hotel expenses for only three days. Fisher House is full so they have to stay at a hotel.

We need your help. You can donate directly to a fund set up to assist the family with caring for Joe. You can send donations to the address or call the phone number below.

SGT Bozik Fund c/o Centura Bank ATTN Aiko Raynor 14615 US HWY 17 PO BOX 74 HAMPSTEAD NC 28443

All - I called the bank in Hampstead, NC today and spoke with Aiko Raynor. I'm convinced this is a legitimate fund. The reason it is set up in Hampstead is because this is where Sgt. Bozik's mother lives.

Please hit your ping lists to let them know this is legit and lets help this military family. Thanks all! -- E

Has anybody contacted the American Red Cross and the Army Emergency Relief? Those two agencies *exist* for situations like this. Personally, I don't much care for AER, but the ARC is good.

I called and they do have an account set up. Hopefully, we can help this family out. God Bless our Military.

By the way, kerry has not one time been to Walter Reed Hospital during all his campaigning........

think about that when you go to the polls.

[PatriotGirl827]

Thanks for the info - I am sending help.

[Heart of Georgia]

Thanks for the pings! Endeavor, thanks for verifying.

[StarFan]

Confirmation was ALL that was needed. Thanks for checking.

[pepperdog]

This call for help has been verified as legitimate, see Post 118. Let's keep it BTTT!

WOMAN AT THE BANK SUGGESTS WE ADDRESS THIS TO P.O. BOX 74 AND NOT 14615 U.S. HIGHWAY 17 SO IT WILL BE PROCESSED MORE QUICKLY .

UPDATE,
Joseph is on his way to Walter Reed as we speak, I am sure he will be at WR for awhile so you can send cards and letters to Sgt Joseph Bosik c/o Walter Reed.
The family is remaining stoic and with the wonderful patriots gracious hearts we have at Soldiers Angels received over 6,000 Dollars in donations. From 1 dollar to 100 and more people are coming to the aid of this hero.
I will post as soon as I have more info. Your prayers are welcome.
