The Texas Sentinels Foundation reached a milestone this year in Houston with the introduction of our first Texas Sentinel, Donny Daughenbaugh. Now we want to take that that momentum to San Antonio! Happily, we’ve found another wounded veteran in whose life the Texas Sentinels Foundation can make a profound difference.
In 2004, Army Sergeant Jorge De Leon lost his leg and suffered loss of hearing and Traumatic Brain Injury in Afghanistan. While maneuvering his Humvee to avoid an insurgent attack, he drove over an anti-tank mine. Wheelchair-bound and despairing of how he would take care of his family after being discharged, Jorge dedicated himself to recovery. Today he walks with the use of a computer controlled prosthetic leg and has joined the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes full-time as a national spokesman. He lives with his family in San Antonio where he also helps identify other wounded veterans who need financial and emotional assistance as a Brooke Army Medical Liaison for CSAH.
With his sacrifice, commitment to recovery and dedication to his fellow soldiers, Jorge is a perfect candidate to receive the Texas Sentinels Foundation Life Scholarship. The Life Scholarship consists of a new home for his family along with four years of financial support through mortgage and tax amnesty as well as healthcare and funds for his continued education.
Please come meet this American Hero and help him and his family achieve the American Dream for which they have sacrificed so much.
We’ll be introducing Jorge to the San Antonio Real Estate Community on October 27, 2009 at The Club at Sonterra. There will be an Introduction Luncheon at 11:30am followed by an informational and organizational meeting afterward.
Tickets are $30 each, with all proceeds benefiting the Texas Sentinels Foundation and wounded veterans like Donny and Jorge.
