Founders Message

Dear Friend, Veteran, and American Patriot:

On June 20, 2006, our family suffered a great loss. Our son, PFC Christopher N. White, was killed by an IED in Al Anbar Province while protecting our freedom. He and so many of his brothers and sisters in arms have paid the ultimate sacrifice. In his honor and memory, our family has purchased a tract of land that we have named CHRIS NEAL FARM it will be dedicated to those that have paid a very high price for our freedom and our way of life, the disabled American Veterans who have provided us protection from terrorism, oppression and tyranny.

Here at CHRIS NEAL FARM we have dedicated a 5-acre tract of land were we will be constructing a handicapped accessible lodge to accommodate our veterans. We have named this parcel of land CAMP HOPE. Once constructed it will accommodate up to 6 veterans per week and allow them to enjoy outdoor activities once again.

We need help in supporting your men and women in uniform. Your donations will help create cherished moments and help them to a full and speedy recovery.

Thank you,

William White
