Due to cost of inflation with fuel and decrease in donations we are now charging for some of our services. We will still give a discount on services when we receive donations to cover cost. But we are no longer using our full donation dollars on fuel to get to our clients. Whoever calls and needs services will be required to pay full cost up front, when our team arrives they will then determine if other services are needed for the Veteran or their family, if they are then a separate cost will need to be collected up front to move forward. Below is our current price sheet for what each call we will be charging for and how much that will cost.

We are no longer looking for any more volunteers. We are working on getting grant to hire employees to work at our organization.

We provide:

• Rapid Response ($7.00/mile from HQ in WV respond within 24hrs of receiving call)
• Normal Response ($5.00/mile local calls up to 49 miles from HQ in WV.  $6.00/mile for any calls 50 miles or farther from HQ in WV)
• Transporting to hospitals ($7.00/mile starting depending on situation)
• Peer Support (Free in person meeting)
• Peer Mentoring (Free in person meeting)
• Veteran Advocacy (Starting at $750.00 depending on project needs and location of Veterans home)

Jeremiah 29:11

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

We have adopted Jeremiah 29:11 into all we do here at Battle Buddy Response Team®. You will find this bible verse on the back of our New Response vehicle and on our website. We do not push our faith onto others that do not believe in God but always know if you ask us to pray with you or for you, we will. Our volunteers and staff members here know that Jesus Christ is in charge of this organization and all we do.

As a nonprofit organization and what we do for others and how we touch those that have lost HOPE is a miracle.

Battle Buddy Response Team® spread hope and love everywhere we go to help others, we landed on a disabled Veterans doorstep. This amazing Veteran has welcomed us in their home, invited us to work for them. One of our services we offer for our Mission is Veteran Advocacy that changes lives in weeks or months. We show the world the needs not wants of our Veterans and how we want to assist them.  Work with the public to gain friends that have skills we do not. The Veteran and their family trust us with their need, a need they do not want to ask for. The romers of the Veteran doesn’t talk with others isn’t true, God paves a way. We are the front line workers for our Veterans and their families.

Harpers Ferry, WV is one of these many Veterans that trust Battle Buddy Response Team® to provide them a hand up in life. Working with this disabled Veteran has been our privilege and honor to give back.

If you are interested in volunteering on this project and are available on Oct. 25th 2022 from 0700 to finish time, please email us info@battlebuddyresponseteam.org .
