004 – Cindy Parsons – Surviving the Invisible Wounds: A Mother’s Story of Tragedy, Resilience and the Lifesaving Work of Wounded Warrior Project
Welcome to My Friends in Philanthropy, the podcast dedicated to sharing the stories, struggles, and hope behind the organizations and individuals making a real difference.
In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Patti Parker sits down with Cindy Parsons of the Wounded Warrior Project — but this conversation is about far more than a nonprofit.
Together, Patti and Cindy speak directly to warriors, caregivers, and families who feel alone, afraid, or unsure of where to turn. They highlight the critical work of Wounded Warrior Project, its no-cost programs, and how they support not just the veteran but the entire family — emotionally, physically, and practically.
This is an emotional, heartfelt episode about courage, loss, community, and the bravery it takes to ask for help. If you or someone you love has been impacted by military service, PTSD, or life-changing injury, this conversation may be the most important one you hear today.
If you are a veteran, service member, caregiver, or family member in need of support, call the Wounded Warrior Project at 877-TEAM-WWP (832-6997), or visit https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/
