Byron Ruffin is a Vietnam veteran from Biloxi, Mississippi. Very recently, he fell upon hard times and was rendered homeless. For someone who has given so much to our country, it is heartbreaking that this is the reality these brave soldiers face. Fortunately for Ruffin, he has had the support of his local American Legion Post. They have been helping him out with his recent misfortunes and have helped him settle into a new living situation. Soldier’s Wish and Subway have stepped in to grant him a $1,500 Walmart gift card so that he can buy the things he needs for this next chapter of his life. Thanks to Soldier’s Wish, Subway, and The American Legion, this veteran can live safely and off of the streets. We appreciate everything he has given for our freedoms....

SSG James Mote has served his country and is now in the process of completing his education. Both he and his son are in college, and they have both been faced with the hardships of not having computers to do their studies. Mote’s wife developed a strong form of cancer that she is still battling. His son also developed the same kind of cancer and is in remission. Both of their cases have caused a large number of medical bills to pile up, so when Mote’s computer broke, there was no way for him to replace it. Soldier’s Wish and Subway stepped forward to provide both soldiers with a new computer. Now they can both continue their education together. Thank you, SSG Mote, for your service....

MSgt Jack Pate of the U.S. Air Force has served our country and holds one of the highest ranks that the military has to offer. Unfortunately for Pate, his wife has a form of cancer that has confined her to a wheelchair. She is unable to move without it, and their house is unequipped to handle wheelchairs. No one would help this family in their time of need. Soldier’s Wish, with the help of Subway, stepped in and provided financial assistance so that this soldier could install wheelchair ramps in their home. Now his wife can move freely in and out of their house, and this family can have a sense of normalcy. Thank you to MSgt Pate for your service.  ...

Daniel Simpson is a Louisiana National Guardsman. He is also enrolled at Bossier Parish Community College in their nursing program. He is very dedicated to his studies. Unfortunately for Simpson, his laptop recently crashed. It contained all of his assignments and was the main way that he could complete his assignments for school. Without it, his education would be incredibly more difficult. That is where Soldier’s Wish and Subway stepped in. Soldier’s Wish, with the help of Subway, bought this young solider a new computer, a new backpack, and a new printer for his computer. This way, he can continue his studies and keep making good grades. We are proud of this soldier and appreciate what he has given to our country.  ...

Michael Bearth is a Marine Corps veteran and received accolades from his command as a Battalion Maintenance Management Chief. After serving in the military, he returned to university to pursue his dreams of becoming an engineer. He works hard in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics.  His goals were threatened when his laptop computer broke, as a computer is essential for an engineer. He attempted to save money on repair costs by fixing it himself. Unfortunately, his efforts were for naught, and the computer was beyond repair. Since he had limited funds for his schooling, replacing it was not an option. Soldier’s Wish and Subway provided this hardworking soldier with a new computer for his studies. His financial burdens should not stop him from achieving his goals after he has sacrificed so much for our country.  ...
