About LPE
Little Patriots Embraced, Inc. is a not-for-profit
501 (c)(3) corporation. The organization was incorporated
in the State of Missouri in 2004. Little Patriots Embraced
specific focus is to show support for the immediate family
members of active military personnel.
The family members of military personnel face many stresses
and struggles that most people don't understand. The stresses
they face are even greater during the deployment of a loved
one. Our organization was created to assist the families in
coping with these daily stresses. We created several programs
including the design of a "family package" containing
several exclusive products that are known to reduce emotional
and psychological stress. Another program that we plan to
activate when funds are available is our MD-TEC Fund.
This program will provide supplemental financial assistance
in the form of tuition (scholarships) for higher education,
emergency allowances for families, and childcare financial
assistance for those accepted into our MD-TEC Fund program.
Even though these are our main objectives, we also plan and
carryout special events such as bowling parties, teddy bear
parties, and teddy bear drops for the children of active military
personnel (where every child receives a LPE teddy bear).
These events have been well attended and very successful.
We have been asked to expand this program in other areas of
the country when funds become available.

LPE is actively seeking additional volunteers to join
our organization, donations for our programs, and sponsors
to support our objectives.
Summary of Objectives
- Attempt to reduce emotional and psychological stress on military family members by providing them with a family gift package containing items similar to those proven to reduce emotional and psychological stresses of people in similar situations.
- Provide financial assistance to spouses of active military who are seeking higher education. We will do this by offering tuition scholarships that can include childcare so that spouses can achieve their personal goals for higher education, better support themselves and their families while building a stronger America. This program will take up where other government programs leave off.
- Provide emergency needs funding to families of deployed soldiers who find themselves in financial crisis situations.
- Plan and carry out special events specifically for the children of our military.
- Unite citizens all around the country through community awareness events. It is our hope as we achieve this objective, citizens of the United States will better understand the needs of military family members and the sacrifices they make for us.
