There are only 4 days left to donate to Seeds of Hope on Groupon! This organization is founded through Youth Advocacy League, an organization I have dedicated several years to. Lexy Werner founded Seeds of Hope to create awareness about the difficulties veterans face when returning home from war after her mother was deployed 12 times and her step father suffered severely from PTSD. Seeds of Hope creates community "victory gardens" to help support vets and their families.

Recently, they began partnering with organizations such as the Girl Scouts to spread Seeds of Hope cross country. This gives the teens a chance to learn to garden, and a chance to work with veterans and learn about the challenges they face. Gardening is also a great pass time for vets suffering from PTSD. 

One of these garden beds cost $250 to build. By donating $10 through this Groupon fundraising, you can play a role in helping those who serve our country. Seeds of Hope is holding this fundraiser to expand into 10 different states by the end of this year. 

For some more information check out this article on TribLive  that was written after the group was honored in the Jefferson Awards for Public Service Youth Service Challenge.
