Programs & Services
– Immediate Needs: TFDF assists Special Operations service members and their families with needs that are not covered by the DoD, VA or their insurance. The needs that we cover are diverse and cover every type of assistance both medical and other immediate needs as identified from either the unit chain of command or the US Special Operations Command’s Warrior Care Program. The needs are usually from a service member being wounded in combat, injured in training, or an illness that occurs on active duty and resulting hardships. TFDF also covers the family member with support because of cancer and other illnesses/needs where there are gaps in coverage through Tricare or the VA. It is important for the service member to know that he and his/her family will have an organization that will help in their time of need.
– Rehabilitative Adaptive Events (RAE) foster a sense of well-being, offer encouragement, and assist with the service members rehabilitation and recovery from wounds or injuries sustained while serving our country. We believe that when a Special Operations Forces service member is injured, the whole family is injured and must heal together. Family participation in activities such as scuba diving, white water rafting, biking or kayaking, fosters family bonding and teamwork necessary for overcoming service-related injuries and helps the family heal together.
– Health Initiative Program: Provides access to and awareness of personalized functional medicine approaches that deliver lifestyle, integrative, and nutritional interventions that address root causes of dysfunction in the Special Operations Forces (SOF) community members.
