I’m excited to share this amazing giveaway with you all.  It was such a privilege to participate in this year’s annual Authors4Veterans charity drive.  Not only did we help veterans’ families, we also have 4 bags to share with our readers.

So, to back up a little bit, Authors4Veterans is a non-profit organization started by Stacey Joy Netzel and PJ Fiala in 2017.  The purpose of Authors4Veterans is simple; they contact fellow authors like myself, asking for a small monetary donation and books, swag and comfort items.  They bag them up in beautiful canvas zippered bags and deliver them to Fisher House Wisconsin.  Fisher House is a fantastic organization, located on the VA grounds in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where military families who need temporary housing can stay while their loved one receives care at the VA hospital.  This is all free to the families.  There are currently 84 houses in operation.  You can find out more about Fisher House here – https://www.fisherhouse.org/

Authors4Veterans’ came to be as Stacey and PJ both come from strong military backgrounds and they wanted to give back in some way.  To date, our author bags have been given to over 115 families.  Sometimes families have little notice that they have to rush to the hospital and these bags come in handy as they usually contain toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower soap, hand lotion, etc. in them as well as the books and swag.  Families are given a bag upon check-in.  Fisher House has shared that the families are often over-come with emotion at the generosity of the authors and how comforting the bags have been.

So, all that said, we also want to give something to our readers!  Enter the giveaway below for a chance to win your own Authors4Veterans bag filled with goodies.  The giveaway ends at 11:45p CST on June 20^th.  Four winners will be drawn and announced on June 21^st.  There are several opportunities for you to enter the giveaway, and of course, sharing it is always appreciated.
