Extra financial support and councelling should be offered to anyone who is the Wife, Girlfriend, Mother or child of a Soldier serving on Tour! please sign this petition if you wish to see these two things in place. Although money could never replace a loved one. Why should families of serving soldiers have to pay things like rent, council tax and some other things when the government is taking our soldiers to fight wars that are NOT our concern, some of whom never return and their families are left to pick up the pieces! and only when something goes wrong are these families offerend some sort of help. It should be available from the minute a Soldier is sent on a Tour of Duty not once the damage is done

I have been reading your messages and the stories of sacrifice you are sharing weigh heavily on my heart. Behind the scenes I am gathering these accounts to show the real cost of life on the home front while our loved ones are away on tour. We deserve more than an afterthought when the worst happens.

Seeing this grow gives me hope that the quiet struggles of families like mine are finally being recognized. It means everything to know I am not the only one fighting for the support we should have had long ago.

My wife is at home holding it together while I am away and she deserves way more help than she gets. Do the right thing for once.

So true. The government sends them off but forgets about the cost to us back home. Stop making us pay for everything while they are overseas.

Its about time someone spoke up for the families left behind. The stress is unreal and we get zero help until things are falling apart.
