Testimonials

"After three tours in Afghanistan, I was struggling to reconnect with my family. Our trip to Italy gave us the time and space to heal together. The cooking classes and shared meals brought us closer than we'd been in years."

Staff Sergeant James R.

U.S. Army Veteran

"When I lost my leg in service, I thought I'd never be able to travel again. CDV Cares showed me that wasn't true. Their accessible itinerary allowed me to experience the beauty of Tuscany without limitations."

Lieutenant Maria S.

U.S. Navy

"After losing my husband in action, this trip gave my children and me a chance to create new memories while honoring his memory. The peace we found in the Italian countryside was exactly what our hearts needed."
