Announcement: Homes For Our Troops 10th Anniversary in Second Life

 

Frets Nirvana, longtime supporter and contact for Homes For Our Troops in Second Life in conjunction with the US Military Veterans Group, announces the September 2024 10 year anniversary of supporting the Veterans Support Organization Home For Our Troops in Second Life at Veteran’s Isle .

Frets Nirvana states:  “HFOT is a privately funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization building specially adapted, mortgage-free homes nationwide for the most severely injured Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of these Veterans are multiple amputees, paraplegic, quadriplegic or have suffered severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).  Since its inception in 2004, nearly 90 cents of every dollar spent by Homes for Our Troop has gone to directly support Veterans. DURING THAT TIME HFOT HAS BUILT 393 SPECIALLY ADAPTED HOMES NATIONWIDE FOR EXTREMELY INJURED VETERANS.”

The month of September is special because it marks the 10 year anniversary of supporting HFOT in Second Life.  As a result it will be a month long series of benefit concerts as well as raffles and prizes that benefit this important cause.  One special raffle will be for a completely furnished home from Vila Ballamos and its creator Chillee Hernandoz.  The current schedule is:

Sept 8
DJ Zack 4 PM
Camme Carver 5 PM

September will be great music and fun for all with the net result to hopefully make this 10 year anniversary a banner month for donations to Homes For Our Troops.  The events will be held at the U.S. Veterans Military center special events area.  To teleport to it, use this link.

Over 230,000 L Raised at Two Veterans Isle Fundraisers

 

 On Wednesday December 6, Veterans Isle held a fundraiser concert for the Homes For Our Troops charity. The event, which ran from 4 to 9 PM SL time and had a DJ and four live musicians raised a total of 131,900 in the two kiosks on either side of the stage. But that wasn't all. A few days later, Frets Nirvana, one of the organizers of the event, would hold another in which he himself went on stage.

 

Hello to all my Second Life friends

I will once again climb the stage in Second Life today December 10 @ 2 PM for one last push for donations for Homes For Our Troops at Veterans Isle.  In this week that we have remembered December 7 as the day that the U.S. entered WWII, come on out nd help today's heroes who have sacrificed just as their brothers did 82 years ago. 

Frets' Sunday concert would bring in exactly 100,000 Linden dollars, fifty thousand in each kiosk. This made for a total of 231,900 L. Almost a quarter million Linden dollars to help veterans keep roofs over their heads.
