Gold Star families have given everything.
Believe With Me is a national nonprofit serving the parents, spouses, children, and siblings left behind when a loved one dies in military service. We serve families of those Killed In Action, Killed In Training, lost to PTSD Suicide, Service Connected Illness, and Active Duty Accidents.
15,000+
There are more than 15,000 post-9/11 Gold Star Children.
46,000+
Parents who have lost a son or daughter serving in our nation’s Armed Forces.
440,000+
Family members impacted by the death of a loved one in the military.
Our mission is to give hope and help to America's Gold Star families.
Our programs are never based on financial need. We serve Gold Star families because it is an honor and a joy to give back to those who have given up everything for our freedom.
Every Christmas, Believe With Me sends sacks full of gifts from each child's personal wish list to Gold Star children across the country. The children of fallen soldiers deserve to know America remembers them.
Gold Star parents who have lost a child in military service deserve to own a piece of the nation their son or daughter died defending. This program provides land and housing support to qualifying Gold Star families at no cost.
Valentine's Day is one of the hardest days of the year for military widows and Gold Star sweethearts. Grateful Americans sponsor a sweet gift so that no Gold Star significant other spends that day forgotten.
Gold Star mothers carry a grief no one should bear alone. Each year on Mother's Day, we find a special way to honor every Gold Star mother registered with Believe With Me.
Inspiring the Next Generation to Live a Life Worthy of the Sacrifice
Believe With Me was born from our students' heart to serve. Our mission has always been to inspire the next generation to live a life worthy of the sacrifices our Gold Star Families continue to make on our behalf. Whether you donate, volunteer, fundraise, or lead as a Student Ambassador — this is how you honor the fallen.
Believe With Me gives volunteers of all ages a tangible, meaningful way to honor Gold Star families — from packing Christmas gifts to serving at events — and show the next generation that Americans do not forget.
Some of the most powerful fundraisers we've ever seen were led by students. Host a LemonAID stand, a Freedom Formal or your own event in your hometown.
