Battle Buddy Response Team Update

The President of BBRT has rewrapped the Battle Buddy Response Team truck since it was damaged when out to check on a veteran. If you look at our business sponsors on our website you will notice that we have a new sponsor.  Metro Miami Group aka Metro Wrapz which was very kind to donate $2,100 towards a whole new wrap for our truck that we use daily. We are looking forward to gaining more vehicles and having them wrap them for us as well. If you have a vehicle that you can donate or sponsor us with we would greatly appreciate it. We need at least one more vehicle that is reliable that we can travel the USA with to “Serve Veterans and Their Families”.

If you know of a business that is willing to buy us a vehicle please let them know that their business name will be on the vehicle once it is wrapped and all safety equipment is installed. Please consider our organization for a monthly donation, your monthly donation will help us continue our mission and allow us to help more veterans and their families when they need us most. You may mail a check made out to Battle Buddy Response Team to 170 Aviation Way suite 101, Martinsburg, WV 25405 or stop by the office to drop the check or gift cards off. We have a drop box right outside our office door if we are not in. You may also donate online through our website. https://battlebuddyresponseteam.org/donate/

It takes us $250 for each local call that we receive, it takes a minimum of $500 to travel long distance to help veterans and their families when called upon. You may also sponsor a veteran by sending in exactly $250 donation which in return we will help a local veteran from the MD, PA, WV, and VA area then ask for their permission to let you know that your donation when to helping a veteran.

If you see our newly wrapped truck feel free to beep at us and wave or take photos. The truck looks amazing and we are excited to have many more that look like this.

Our Hearts Are Broken

 

Our hearts go out those families that lost their loved ones in Afghanistan this past week. As Combat Veterans, we know that losing a sister or brother in combat is something we never ever want to experience. For the Gold Star families, our organization is here to support you.   With just a phone call, we will be there.  (855) 777-2278. To all our service members that just came home, please know we are always available.  For those Combat Veterans who have extra time on your hands, please feel welcome to join us here at Battle Buddy Response Team, as we are always accepting volunteers!  As our Founder, Samuel Rock, an Operation Iraqi Freedom Combat Veteran said, “now and forever, this organization will always be for the Combat Veterans that put their lives on the line to keep America Free”.

NEED HELP IN MIDDLEBURG FLORIDA

We are working with a disabled veteran in Middleburg, Florida and we need to raise a minimum of $5,000 to do some major home repairs for his roof and interior that has been damaged over time. This veteran served 28 years in the United States Navy proudly. His roof is almost gone, there is black mold everywhere, the siding is coming off, the interior drywall needs replaced. All help is appreciated and if you follow us on our social media accounts you will see the damage in the video taken. Please donate on our website at: https://battlebuddyresponseteam.org/donate/  .

If you are a contractor or a suppler of building materials and would want to help with this project then please email us at info@battlebuddyresponseteam.org

This veteran deserves to live in a home that does not look like this so lets make that happen for him!

BATTLE BUDDY RESPONSE TEAM END VETERAN SUCIDE EVENT

Mark your calendars for: BATTLE BUDDY RESPONSE TEAM END VETERAN SUCIDE EVENT

 September 11th (Saturday)

Starts:1300 (1pm)

Ends: 1700 (5pm)

Location Held: Laddie’s:107 Lutz Ave, Martinsburg, WV 25405 (off Interstate 81 exit 16E)

 

We will have face painting, food, drinks, merchandise, music, cornhole, pool table, raffles, tip jars, WDVM the local news will be covering the event, and much more. This event is the very first event that Battle Buddy Response Team is having in Martinsburg, WV and this is all possible because of the owner of Laddie’s. They reached out to us wanting to help raise awareness and donations for our Mission: “Serving Veterans and Their Families” and our Vision: “Stop and Prevent All Veteran Suicide”. We hope to see you all September 11th!  While at the event we want you to find a BBRT volunteer and ask them how are we making a difference, how are we doing the impossible, and the answer for some will be because you donated to our organization to make it possible or that your business sponsors us every month or year. Our organization runs off of donations and sponsorships, we have no paid staff, we need funding to travel and see veterans in person when needed. We will STOP & Prevent SUICIDE with your help! We want you to ask us questions and if you are concerned about a veteran that day then please let us know so we can get out there to check in on them for you. Veterans always talk to Veterans, so if you feel your combat veteran will not speak to us just know we only send war and combat veterans out over the road and us combat and war veterans have our own way of communicating among each other because we share something that no one else does if they have not been down range. We serve all veterans regardless if they have deployed or not.

Join us at this event. All ages are welcome to attend. We will have lots of giveaways at this event so do not miss it.

Aug 15th FREE NASCAR TICKETS

 

 

Battle Buddy Response Team was gifted tickets to see the Brickyard 200 on August 15th at 1pm in Indianapolis Indiana. We have only have three tickets left to give away to anyone that would want them. We would prefer to give them to veterans or their family but with the short amount of time left, we are willing to make sure they get into the hands of someone that would go and could possibly take someone else. Mr. Rock will be there attending the event and possibly others from Battle Buddy Response Team, please come out and join us in this first time ever event. We are excited to be offered these tickets to use and will have more tickets for places in the future but next week we need to find three more people to meet us at the front gate of the Brickyard 200 in Indianapolis speedway we will meet at 12:30pm right before the event starts at 1pm. Please call (855)777-BBRT  or email us at info@battlebuddyresponseteam.org if you are interested in attending.  

Changes Are Being Made!!

Here at Battle Buddy Response Team, we have a lot of changes coming our way to make our organization a lot smoother.

Which ways are we making our organization better you might ask?

Well we will be shorting up the Concerned Party Form to one page, so all you or anyone will have to do is fill out the form to the best of your ability. Most important part of the form for us to have is the location of the veteran or their family you are worried about. IF  THEY ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO HARM THEMSELVES THEN STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND CALL 911.

After the Concerned Party Form is filled out and submitted on our website, then we will check our donations that we have received to see if we can cover the cost of the trip for you.  If we do not have enough donations to cover the trip to and from the place you need us to go, then we will call you before going to the address given so you can make the full donation needed to help the person you are concerned about.

WE ARE NOW CALLING THOSE THAT FILL THE CONCERNED PARTY FORM OUT BEFORE GOING TO THE ADDRESS GIVEN so they will know if we have enough donations to cover the trip and if not to collect the donation to make it happen. We will also let you know roughly once we have the donations needed how long it may take us to get to the address provided.

We will also now start accepting callers when they are needing advice to help a veteran or if they need help maneuvering our website to make a donation or fill out a Concerned Party Form. . Remember all the information collected on the Concerned Party Forms are confidential to the veteran and their family and anyone asking who may have sent us out. We ask that you also keep your information private from the party you are worried about.

Who wants a random BBRT shirt time to time in the mail?? We are going to start  contacting and sending out BBRT T-shirts to our individual donors time to time that donate a monthly donation of $40 or more. If you do not want your shirt, then you may choose to have us donate the shirt to a homeless veteran living on the streets that we may come in contact with.

Our goal is to get veterans that feel they have no place to work in civilian life to find their home with us here at Battle Buddy Response Team. Our team is made up of veterans, active duty members, and family of military. We want to get to the point we can start hiring as soon as possible, our volunteers are in very demanding positions and it is hard for them to work a regular job then have to be able to make extra time in life for their volunteer job here at BBRT. If we are able to hire our veterans that would help BBRT and the veterans/families of veterans we come in contact with a lot more.

FYI: We no longer have 24 hour answering services, due to the cost and volume of calls we are receiving but we are saving those cost and asking volunteers to answer our phones to help out the callers to either give people advice or maneuver the website fill out the Concerned Party Form or to make a donation.

If you would like to answer our phone lines as a volunteer and you are good working under pressure, meaning stay cool, calm, and collective during someone on the other line having a breakdown then please fill out our application on the website as soon as possible.

If you are a Leader, Innovator, CEO, CFO, COO, Founder, Director of a successful company or organization and are a veteran or a family member of a veteran and would like to consider a leadership position with BBRT. Then, please email us at info@battlebuddyresponseteam.org with your most recent resume, two letters of recommendation, a letter of why you feel you would be a good fit for BBRT, and a letter of what you feel you could do to make BBRT a better all around organization for our veterans and their families we work so hard to help everyday.

Do not forget that we are veterans helping veterans and we travel where ever needed to make the house call regardless of the situation or the area. Just remember that veterans rather talk to other veterans about what is going on with them. Please do not get offended if the veteran does not talk to you regardless if you are family or a best friend. If you know they are hurting and you do not know who to call then call us and we will be there!
