Why: Since 9/11, Little Patriots Embraced has developed core programs to ease the emotional stress faced by the children of our military. With over 1 million children of military personnel under the age of 15, Little Patriots Embraced is reaching out with programs such as the Military Dependent – Tuition, Emergency and Childcare Fund, Family Deployment Packages, LPE Youth Concert Tour and their signature program called Project Bear Essentials, which focuses specifically on preschool and young school-age children. All of these programs strive to address the emotional stress felt by military children due to separation, frequent moves and even death of a loved one.
