What we do

Believe With Me is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to Bringing Hope and Help to America’s Gold Star Families. A Gold Star Family is one that has lost a loved one in the service of our nation’s Military. Believe With Me serves all manner of military death— Killed In Action, Killed In Training, PTSD Suicide, and cancer related deaths to exposures during military service. The widows we are serving this Valentine’s Day all registered their children to receive Christmas gifts from Believe With Me during our American Gold Star Christmas project to provide gifts from grateful Americans like you.

American Sweetheart

American Sweetheart is a student led project that gives young Americans the opportunity to prep, package and send a Valentine’s Day gift to the widow of a fallen soldier through the generosity of grateful Americans like you.

The House That Love Built

A home is purchased, renovated, furnished, decorated and then given toG old Star parents who suffered catastrophic financial ruin after the death of their soldier. Hundreds of volunteers remodel the house in an extreme makeover fashion in a week!

Gold Star Mother's Day

A beautiful dinner event held to honor Gold Star mothers that also encourages and inspires civilian moms to cherish their children and raise them in a manner worthy of the sacrifices our Gold Star families have made.

Gold Star Christmas

Gold Star families are invited to register their children for Christmas gifts and thankful Americans from all across the country donate so that volunteers (many are high school and university students) can shop for, wrap, and package gifts for 1000 children of fallen soldiers.

An American Sweetheart Valentines Day

Believe With Me’s An American Sweetheart is your opportunity to give a Valentine’s Day gift to a Gold Star wife! Many holidays for the surviving loved one of a fallen military member are heartbreakingly difficult - and your donation towards the gift for a spouse will surely bring a smile on an otherwise tear-filled day. Your donation also gives our volunteers — middle school, high school, and university students a chance to step up and serve these precious families.

Home That Love Built

Gene and Kathi Sandburg’s son, Brendan, was a Navy medic who deployed several times risking his life to “fix broken Marines.” Brendan loved his career in the military and served with honor and devotion. He was killed August 16, 2008 when his helicopter tragically crashed into a valley during a training exercise. Gene and Kathi were paralyzed by grief and lost their business and home in the months following the death of their son.

The House That Love Built is YOUR opportunity to restore Gene and Kathi to owning a piece of the country their son died for! Gene is a Vietnam Veteran and he and Kathi have since opened their own cottage business selling delicious candied nuts at various local fairs, shows, and outdoor events. Be a part of this amazing endeavor to give back to this family that has endured impossible grief! Let’s restore Gene and Kathi to home ownership and show them that America is a grateful nation for their sacrifice!
