Who We Are

Charlie's Wishes For Veterans is a compassionate non-profit organization dedicated to supporting veterans and their spouses during challenging times. Our goal is to create memorable experiences and bring joy to those who have served our nation.

Rooted in a family legacy of military service, we are dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of our nation's veterans by granting their last wishes. My Dad, Sgt. Charles Rogers, served in the United States Air Force. My Uncle, Sgt. Charles "Ross" Williams, served in the United States Army as a Ranger. We understand the importance of creating meaningful moments for those who have given so much for our freedoms. Our mission is to bring dignity, respect, and peace to veterans and their families by fulfilling their final wishes, ensuring they are celebrated with the love and honor they deserve.

Make a donation today!

Behind every uniform is a story of sacrifice, courage, and resilience. Many disabled veterans return home facing battles they never expected - physical injuries, emotional wounds, and the challenge of starting over. Your donation can change a life. It can mean a warm bed, a path for healing, a second chance.

House Projects

Renovating Homes

Through house remodeling projects, we transform veterans' living spaces to make them more comfortable and suitable for their specific needs.

We were recently able to assist a veteran in removing a vanity sink and toilet and installing a new ADA chair height toilet, pedestal sink and grab bar. The materials and labor were donated in memory of Sgt. Charles Rogers.
