Support & Social group for the disabled and their spouses
A new support group is starting for amputees, wounded soldiers, persons with disablilities and their spouses for the Fayetteville/Ft bragg and surrounding areas. Meet with people in your local area who live with Disabilities. Learn how others cope with their disability, offer support and make new friends. Spouses are also welcome to be a part of this meetup. Spouses also need support and help others cope with the hardships their loved ones may be going through. Our mission is not only to support and educate, but to do social things together as a group. We welcome others who just want to come and support.

It's time for another social meetup! Last meetup we saw some new faces and it was great to see wives and kids there. Let's keep getting the word out. Time to meet, greet and eat! Please don't forget to RSVP with how many people you are bringing so I can reserve enough space for us. :-) Look forward to seeing you all!
