    Aleethia Foundation: Aleethia provides “Friday Night Dinners” which were originally started in October 2003 when the injured began arriving at the military medical centers. These dinners are an integral part of the healing process and also reintroduce the warrior and the family members to life outside the hospital. Aleethia brings the injured service members to a safe and accepting environment and shows them that life is still good, that they do not need to stay in their hospital rooms agonizing over what they have lost or how their lives have changed. Most of the dinners are paid for by contributions from individuals. Some corporations and organizations will sponsor the entire or partial costs of a “Friday Night Dinner.” A dinner can cost from $4,000 to $8,000 per week based upon number of attendees and venue.
