The resulting objective was to provide tangible support for the severely wounded and help them on the road to healing, both physically and mentally. What had been initially viewed as a small contribution (compared with what the warriors had sacrificed while serving our country) has become WWP's signature program:  "WWP backpacks delivered bedside to wounded warriors."

Wounded Warrior Backpacks contain essential care and comfort items including clothing, toiletries, calling card and playing cards, all designed to make their hospital stay more comfortable.  They are provided to severely wounded service members arriving at military trauma centers. A smaller version of the WWP Backpack, Transitional Care Packs are sent directly to Iraq and Afghanistan to provide immediate comfort during a warrior’s relocation to the U.S. military trauma center.

The Diocese of Florida has sponsored two retreats at Camp Weed for Wounded Warriors this past year.  This August Mother Michael will be a spiritual mentor for a third retreat at Camp Weed.
