ROSS' PAGDF TOKEN
|
| The inspiration to create Village to Village Foundation came when the news of a heroic act performed by SPC Ross A McGinnis United States Army, was first heard in December 2006. He is a young soldier who gave his life by using his body to cover a grenade; thereby, saving four of his friends. Ross' unselfish and heroic action inspired founder, Galynn Wilkins to create this non-profit organization, to carry Ross' message forward. We are all in this together! |
|
WHAT IT IS
Initially, Village to Village Foundation began with establishing an endowment fund in Ross' honor. Endowments live forever, Ross will live forever to remind us of our connection to each other.
Then, a program called Pay A Good Deed Forward evolved. These two programs are designed to compliment each other, in an effort to:
1.) raise $1 million dollars or more, to assist veterans diagnosed with
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and
2.) establish national name recognition for Ross A McGinnis and other fallen veterans.

YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS HERE

Ross A. McGinnis Endowment Fund
Ross A McGinnis Fund - Help for veterans and their families needing assistance adapting back to home life. Veterans diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) need our help. Many veterans are returning from combat unable to cope with the tragedies they witnessed during their service. Feelings of intense fear, helplessness and horror interferes with their social, occupational, and emotional praticipation in their daily lives.
Your donations to the Ross A McGinnis Endowment Fund will help veterans through their recovery process, help continue Ross' unselfish care for others and your donation will help Ross live forever!
Pay A Good Deed Forward (PAGDF)
We are looking for individuals or groups to sponsor fallen soldiers to start a Pay a Good Deed Forward Token program for them. You will experience a life time connection by being a villager helping another villager. Start a TOKEN program today for a fallen veteran. Go to Contact Us and send an email to let us know you are interested. You can either select your own veteran or we can help you locate a veteran who's family would like someone to sponsor their veteran.

WORDS INTO ACTION
I found joy in my heart by connecting with my friends, Ross's family and many strangers, who are now my friends, all helping to make this non profit a reality. You can find the same joy by taking your ideas and transforming them into action. Sponsor a fallen veteran and begin your journey. Becoming a part of the solution is the answer to the age old question
Why am I here?
