Her work brings attention to
the unique needs and
sacrifices that the children of
our military personnel
endure for our country. As
Mrs. Dougherty said, “One of
my goals through the whole
process was to bring
awareness that our military
personnel are no longer only
attached to large bases,
especially as the Guard and
Reserve are being activated.
They are in our communities,
they are our neighbors, and
their children take a different
path in life. I feel like I was
able to give them a voice. We
can never forget the
sacrifices they are making.”
Our goal is to provide free tutoring services for military
children in the Southern New Jersey area.

While they may not wear the uniform, military children experience additional challenges and
make sacrifices for our country and our freedom that few understand. They are brought up in
homes where pride for your country is more than a fleeting thought a few times a year. If
