Kim Brownell, based in West Virginia, is the founder of Soldier's Friends, an app born from her experiences during the events in Ukraine. After discovering that traditional donations weren’t reaching soldiers in need, Kim began directly connecting with local communities, offering friendship and support. Inspired by the gratitude she received for simply being there, she created Soldier's Friends to provide soldiers with a secure platform for companionship and personal connections, fostering meaningful relationships across the globe.
Our Vision for Soldier's Friends
Our mission is to provide soldiers with a safe, supportive community where they can find companionship and personal support. Through meaningful conversations and trusted connections, we ensure that no soldier feels alone. A portion of our proceeds also helps rebuild small communities affected by war.
Soldier's Friends is exactly what I needed. I've met people who really listen and understand what it means to be away from loved ones for so long. It's not just an app-it's a community that reminds me I'm not alone, no matter how far away I am. Plus, knowing that by connecting, we're helping rebuild communities makes it even more special.
