A Message to our Donors from the Doss Foundation Chairman

Our foundation is driven with passion to carry forth the character traits and moral values that our namesake Desmond Doss exemplified by his incredible acts of heroism and compassion on the battlefield and his humility and kindness during his post military life relationships. Desmond’s love for all he came in contact with is the key hallmark of this amazing Hero.
In fulfilling Desmond’s dream of inspiring young people to live a positive character driven life, we are moving forward with our educational Desmond Doss Edusodes aimed specifically at young people while at the same time supporting causes for Veterans and 1st Responders, who put their lives on the line every day to protect us. To this end we are committed to carrying forward Desmond’s legacy for the youth of today, and generations to come – to “LiveLikeDoss™”
Thank you for visiting our donation page and considering becoming a financial supporter. All levels of contribution are deeply appreciated. If your finances permit, please consider a monthly donation of $11.00 per month which will enable us to continue to provide free Edusodes to the public and sustain our initiatives for Veterans & 1st Responders. Together with your support we can all be part of an incredible team for the good!

With gratitude,

Gabe Videla

Chairman & CEO
