Operation Wellness Shield
Operation Wellness Shield Inc, (“OWS”) is dedicated to improving the holistic well-being, personal independence, and long-term stability of United States active-duty military, veterans, and first responders Beneficiaries. Recognizing the visible and invisible challenges these individuals face, OWS seeks to subsidize expenses related to obtaining physical and mental well-being, family formation, and physical mobility services. In addition, OWS seeks to provide education about important financial planning topics. By leveraging a network of trusted service providers, verified partner organizations, and OWS facilities and personnel, we aim to provide a continuum of support services that empower our Beneficiaries to control their futures. We are newly formed and awaiting our 501(c)(3) designation from the IRS.
To start, OWS is focused on these areas of critical need:
Fertility and Family Planning Support: OWS will offer grants and partner-driven services to help military personnel, veterans, and first responders address their fertility and family planning needs. This includes reproductive tissue storage services, medical treatments, or therapies that could preserve fertility. Through qualified medical partners and approved clinics and storage facilities, OWS ensures that Beneficiaries and their partners can protect their family’s future without the added burden of financial hardship or logistical complexity.
Hormone Optimization and Replacement Therapy: OWS will facilitate access to hormone optimization services, including hormone replacement therapy for individuals whose endocrine health may have been compromised by service-connected injuries or stressors. By collaborating with vetted endocrinologists, medical practitioners, and trusted health facilities, OWS ensures that Beneficiaries receive access to, and financial support for, medically supervised treatment plans designed to restore hormonal balance, improve quality of life, and enhance overall physical and mental wellness.
Methylated Genetic Testing: OWS will sponsor advanced genetic testing services to help identify potential methylation issues that may affect mood, cognition, cardiovascular health, metabolic function, or other impairments to bodily functions as a result of service-connected exposure. Through partnerships with accredited genetic testing laboratories and precision medicine centers, we will guide Beneficiaries toward personalized interventions that address underlying genetic factors, thereby promoting long-term wellness and improved health outcomes.
Mobility and Adaptive Equipment: Recognizing that many service members and first responders have sustained injuries that impact mobility, OWS will provide grants and direct financial support to acquire specialized mobility devices—examples include but are not limited to tracked all terrain mobility wheelchairs and other adaptive equipment. We will collaborate with established FDA-certified manufacturers, rehabilitation centers, and physical therapy clinics to ensure that recipients receive the most appropriate, innovative tools to regain independence, facilitate community engagement, and restore confidence in day-to-day activities.
Educational Services:
Financial planning and Investment Education:
Long-term financial security is essential for sustained well-being and generational prosperity. OWS will offer a comprehensive suite of financial education services, including workshops, one-on-one consultations, and educational seminars led by certified financial planners and trusted investment professionals. These resources are designed to empower Beneficiaries to achieve financial independence while safeguarding their families' futures.
Our program emphasizes a three-pronged approach to financial success:
Wealth Creation: We guide participants in leveraging existing assets, such as Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) funds, to establish life insurance policies with investment components. This strategy combines financial protection with growth opportunities, fostering long-term wealth creation.
Wealth Accumulation: Diversification and tactical asset allocation are integral to our investment strategy. We educate Beneficiaries on optimizing their portfolios across various asset classes, balancing risk and reward, and aligning their investments with their personal financial goals.
Wealth Protection: Utilizing tax-efficient vehicles, we help participants preserve and protect their wealth. Strategies include leveraging tax-advantaged accounts, minimizing liabilities, structuring investments to ensure sustained financial health across generations, and obtaining the proper insurance coverages and amounts.
With a solid foundation in budgeting, debt management, savings strategies, and investment planning, Beneficiaries will be equipped to make informed decisions, navigate complex financial landscapes, and secure lasting economic stability
