Today, we took a trip downtown with sandwiches, drinks, and treats to share with those in need. It was our small way of spreading hope and filling tummies. It’s amazing how a simple gesture can bring such big smiles.

This Fourth of July, we had the honor of recognizing a remarkable veteran, Ben, through our charity, The Forever Angels. Ben was recommended by my friend Brad, who has been a great advocate for veterans and a supporter of our cause. Brad’s advocacy helped us connect with Ben, allowing us to assist him in a meaningful way.
Brad’s Story:
Where did you serve? I served in Alaska with the 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment and in Iraq from 2006 to 2007.
What was your favorite thing about serving? The best part about serving was being around the high caliber of people. They became lifelong friends.
What was the hardest part about serving? The hardest part was seeing those friends get killed and wounded, and then seeing the ones who made it home having to deal with the mental issues.
Ben’s Story:
Where did you serve? I served in Afghanistan, Asia, and a few spots in the Middle East.
What was your favorite thing about serving? The best part of serving was working and fighting next to the bravest men I have ever known.
What was the hardest part about serving? The worst part of serving was leaving my family. I served to help ensure they had a more secure future, but it was painful to leave them each deployment.
At Forever Angels, we support various causes, including the Red Resilient Angel (Veterans’ Support), which provides mental health support, service dog training, art therapy programs, wardrobe updates, outdoor retreats, meal delivery, and transportation gift cards.
We thank Ben and Brad for their service and are grateful for the opportunity to honor them. Their stories and sacrifices remind us of the bravery and dedication of our veterans. This Fourth of July, let us remember and appreciate the freedoms we enjoy, thanks to the sacrifices of heroes like Ben and Brad.
Enjoy these pictures of Ben and Brad, two remarkable individuals who have served our country.🇺🇸💪🏽👊🏽❤️

The Forever Angels is a dedicated 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charity and a qualifying charitable organization (QCO). After years of donating time, money, and items to various charities without a clear understanding of their ultimate impact, we decided to create an organization where our efforts could directly benefit families, schools, veterans, and hospice care recipients. By working closely with school counselors and case workers, we ensure that our donations of essentials and resources go straight to those who need them most, fostering hope and making a tangible difference in our community.
FOUNDERS AND FAMILY INVOLVEMENT
Our program is run by myself, alongside my partner Allison Kiefer. We are not alone in this endeavor; our children are actively involved, helping with events, shopping, and various charity activities. This involvement has not only strengthened our family bonds but also instilled a sense of community service in the younger generation.
INSPIRATION BEHIND THE FOREVER ANGELS
Our motivation stemmed from a desire to see the direct impact of our contributions. We wanted to create a charity where we could personally witness the benefits of our efforts and make a real difference in our community. This hands-on approach ensures that every donation reaches those truly in need, providing both essentials and hope.
A JOURNEY OF SUPPORT AND IMPACT
Since our inception in August 2023, The Forever Angels has been diligently working to support various causes. Our focus spans education, healthcare, holiday assistance, and essential resources for veterans and pets. Each effort has left a lasting impact, enhancing the lives of those we support and fostering a strong sense of community.
HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
There are numerous ways to support The Forever Angels. You can donate items or funds, attend our events, or volunteer your time. One unique way to contribute is by purchasing an “angel,” allowing you to direct your donation to a specific cause. We also provide volunteer hours for children and offer sponsorship opportunities for companies looking to support our mission.
OUR COMMUNITY AND FAMILY
We have lived in this welcoming neighborhood for several years. The sense of camaraderie and support among the residents is unparalleled, making it a wonderful place for our family. My husband Adam, Allison, and our children are all actively involved in the charity, contributing by shopping, organizing items, and raising awareness. This collective effort enhances our community spirit and ensures that help reaches those who need it most.
LOOKING AHEAD
The Forever Angels is always seeking new ways to expand our reach and impact. We are committed to involving children and enjoy being actively engaged in the field, making a difference one person at a time. We welcome any suggestions or collaborations that can help us achieve our mission. For more information, visit our website at www.theforeverangels.com. Follow us on Instagram at @theforeverangels. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in our community.
We’re overwhelmed by the incredible generosity shown in support of The Forever Angels. With most of our resources nearly depleted, we asked people to fulfill my birthday wish by donating to our charity. Your contributions will provide assistance to children this summer, hospice patients, and veterans on Memorial Day.
To everyone who gave and made my birthday wish come true, thank you. Your kindness brought a happy tear to my eye. Your generosity is truly making a difference.
Love, Jen & Allison

Exciting news from The Forever Angels! We recently delivered a fidget blanket to a patient with Alzheimer’s, and the response was incredible. They gave our social worker a big hug and a heartfelt “Thank you.” It’s moments like these that truly highlight the impact of our work. A huge thanks to all our supporters for making these moments possible. 🥰Jen & Allison
