How can you help our nonprofit send care packages to some of the most remote of the roughly 150,000 U.S. military troops serving overseas in 2024?

1) Donate Financially - Our greatest need is cash for our mailing costs. With no paid staff, we strive to maximize the use of donations. We are a 501(c)(3) charity, so your gifts are tax deductible. We accept checks to Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas, P.O. Box 116691, Carrollton, TX 75011. You can donate via credit card through our Click and Pledge account. Or you can Venmo us at NancyCarter@AirborneAngels.

2) Donate Goods - Our all-volunteer charity is based in the Dallas area, but receives product donations from across the USA for care packages for our Soldiers and Troops overseas. We kindly request that you contact us at support@airborneangelcadets.com before sending any care package goods.

New messages from soldiers overseas

Heeeyyyyyyyyyy!!! Happy early Halloween!!
We received your packages. Actually I am a few days late. All of you really blew our minds with these packages. Everything that you sent was very well needed. Thanking you is not enough. I hope all of you are doing well back home.
You made our lives a lot better (your making a grown man cry..."sob,boo-hoo"). Okay, this was really special what you did. We love all of you very much for this and also for the previous things you have sent us. Thank you.

Hello Nancy!

I hope your Halloween was an enjoyable one! Thanks to you and the Airborne Angle Cadets we had a splendid time at our Halloween party. Attached is a picture of me in my "Jailhouse" costume. I'm also sending a few more pictures of our group where most everyone dressed
up.

Thank you so very much for the decorations and costumes you sent. We all had a great time and it was a wonderful break from the everyday stress of this deployment. I can't thank you enough for all the support you've given to me and my soldiers.

Thanks again,
Princeton

Dear Nancy,

Sorry it has taken me a few days to reply. I have been moved to another FOB because they needed a cook to replace one that had to get some surgery done. The living conditions at this FOB are a little nicer, we live in 8 x 8 trailers with two people per trailer.

Other than that it's pretty much the same. I still work in a mess hall so I will share whatever you send me. Our PX here is just as small with only the neccessities and finance only comes once a month here as well with everything on a cash basis.

Thank you for the cookies, I look forward to receiving them and sharing them with my new coworkers here! Thank you also for your continued support of all of us over here. It really is nice to know that there are people back home thinking about us!

Sgt. Jerry
