Cpt. Hemaloto Tatafu - Army Emergency Relief Story
66th Military Intelligence Brigade
April 11, 2024 | 1:53
Introducing Cpt. Hemaloto Tatafu from 2d Military Intelligence Battalion, who graciously shares his heartfelt experience utilizing the Army Emergency Relief program to reunite with his family during a time of urgent need.

Through the utilization of the AER program, Cpt. Tatafu and his family of eight were granted the opportunity to return to Tonga and bid a final farewell to his mother. Cpt. Tatafu received financial assistance from the AER program to cover most of the expenses of his journey back home.

"AER was willing to pay half of the remaining (travel) cost, and offered me an interest-free loan for the remaining amount. This made it possible for us to be in that room and experience those special moments with my family."

"To everyone who has donated to AER, thank you... for making it possible for us to enjoy those special moments with my family. Malo'Aupito." - Cpt. Tatafu

If this story resonates with you, kindly consider making a donation to Army Emergency Relief program to support another Soldier who may be facing a similar challenge.
