Testimonials

Reuniting The Brave

“It’s hard to describe.”

But I felt a sense of unity and comradery that I have been missing and looking for since I left the service. It was very good for my soul.

“I can be the mom I always want to be.”

My therapist said I’d be a good candidate for a service dog... I am so thankful because ACE has changed by life, I can be the mom I always wanted to be.

“I cried.”

The water filled my house, and my first thought was to find the dog and keep his head above water. RIF called and said they we're giving me a grant. I cried.

"I have a fuller life."

For the majority of my adult life I was able to talk to people at eye-level, then all of a sudden your point of view changes and you're always looking up. Because of the Robert Irvine Foundation, I have a fuller life.

Breaking Bread with Heroes

“I’m so excited."

The importance of breaking bread is to bring us all together and reminding us that we’re all united, and that we should all have each other’s backs - that no one should be alone or hungry - that we should uplift one another.
