"I was woken up in the middle of the night from a dream... as I often am.
But this night... something felt different.
Something greater than I had ever felt before—calling me to help a fellow Marine.
I could see his face as vividly as I had seen it so many times before... even though it had been decades.
It was Elliott.
I served with GySgt Terry J. Elliott in 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, as a machine gunner.
When I started my day the next morning, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was pushing me to help my brother.
Later that day, I went golfing at a local course in Palm City, Florida.
Golf has become a place of solace for me—after many combat tours and the lightning strike that left me hard of hearing and landed me in the hospital many times.
And then it hit me...
I will have a tournament for his family.
I decided to form a non-profit and make it happen.
We raised money for Elliott’s widow, Loretta, and his son, Preston
But since that time, the mission has expanded
We Do Good raises money to support:
✅Veterans
✅Healthcare Heroes
✅First Responders
✅Single parents who are left behind after losing a loved one
Every dollar raised goes directly to the families of our lost heroes. But we don’t just stop there.
We follow these families throughout their children's lives—sending cards and gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and Easter. We also help fund art, vocational, and athletic pursuits for these kids.
As a disabled veteran myself , this mission is deeply personal.
Our non-profit is run by a family with a long history of military service—we know firsthand the struggles veterans face.
And because we’ve been veterans in need, we know exactly how to help veterans in need. Too many veterans fall through the cracks of the systems designed to support them.
But We know where those cracks are—and we know how to pull them out before it’s too late."
