Mission
Everyday special operations personnel from the army, navy, air force, and marines train and engage in missions around the globe out of the public eye. Even when large scale military operations cease, their work continues. And sadly, many have made the ultimate sacrifice in giving their lives for our country. They leave behind a legacy of honor, sacrifice, and commitment, as well as their surviving spouses and families. Special ops survivors is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering surviving spouses of active duty special operations personnel who have died in combat or training since january 1, 1980 - the year when the special operations command was formed.
Programs
2 programs
Special ops survivors empowers surviving spouses with (a) education and career advancement awards to reward them for their strength and resiliency as they pursue additional education to further their careers, and (b) limited amounts of financial assistance to assist them with unexpected expenses: education and career advancement awards: when their partners are killed in action or training, surviving spouses are thrust into the role of provider. They are often left to find new sources of income for the family. However, many can be ill-equipped to support themselves. Sos' education and career advancement program helps surviving spouses improve their quality of lives by helping them increase their education and improve their job skills. Emergency financial assistance: sos awards limited amounts of vital emergency financial aid to surviving spouses to assist them with unexpected expenses (e.g., home maintenance and repairs, weather damage, mortgage/rent assistance, purchase of home appliances, automobile repairs and maintenance, healthcare expenses not covered by insurance, emergency childcare, etc.)
Other program services or resources: sos understands that our survivor's lives changed significantly after the loss of their fallen hero and that they face new and demanding challenges. With appropriate funding, we offer additional programs that help surviving spouses alleviate stress, learn coping skills, and to stay healthy in their post-loss journey. We stand ready to provide information to available resources that address our survivor's particular needs and requirements.
