Our beginning is a humble one as we walk in the shadow of a special patriot, Alessandra Kellermann. Her passion to support our deployed troops culminated in the formation of Operation Homefront Hugs USA (OHH), in whose footsteps we follow.

When OHH closed its doors to adoptions, three former volunteers came together in an effort to continue the important work begun by Alessandra. While many organizations exist that provide excellent support for our troops abroad, OHH filled a void by providing support to those brave families the soldier left behind in service of duty and country. It is this legacy that Hugs4SmilesUSA seeks to continue.

NEVER FORGET

Never forget the victims and heroes of September 11, 2001.
Never forget what it means as Americans to persevere.
Never forget the freedoms we cherish.
Never forget our military families.
Never forget the children waiting for Mommy and Daddy to come home.
Never forget the parents who pray each day for their son or daughter's safe homecoming.
Never forget all those who serve.
Never forget our veterans from all wars.
Never forget to fly your flag.
Never forget those who paid the ultimate price.
Never forget.
FREEDOM ENDURES.

A. Kellermann, Tampa Tribune, 9/11/2003

A few words from her volunteers

 

"Anyone who has encountered Alessandra's work has truly experienced an angel on earth." - Debbie

"Alessandra Kellermann is first and foremost a wonderful, dedicated mother to her son. She is a woman of uncompromising dedication to the support of the military and their families. She has never wavered in her conviction to provide this support. Through Operation Homefront Hugs, she gave others the opportunity to do the same while providing unfailing leadership. She has truly made a difference in so many lives. I am honored to have gotten to know her through OHH and now consider her a life long friend." - Mary Ellen Esquino

 

We thank you Ali for allowing us the privilege to have volunteered for such an incredible organization and for inspiring us to keep your dream alive.  God bless you and Ed.
