Executive Director

The Wounded Heroes Fund was started in 2008 by Wendy Porter. She is the granddaughter of two WWII Veterans and the daughter of a US Army Vietnam Veteran. She grew up experiencing the effect that war had on her father, and the ungrateful homecoming he received. She wanted to make sure that this did not happen to the young men and women who are currently fighting for our country.

Wendy has a Master’s Degree in education and was a teacher for 9 years in Delano. She decided to stay home when her daughter, Chloe (14) was born. Wendy had wanted to do something to give back to wounded veterans and their families, and being at home allowed for that dream to come to fruition. With the help of family and friends, the WHF was started.
