It was July 2010, and Aaron Negherbon had just sent a 45-pound birthday care package filled with toothpaste, soap, and Gatorade powder packets to his friend who was a company commander in the U.S. Marine Corps on deployment in Afghanistan.

Shortly afterward, his friend sent him an email thanking him, but told him that he had given all of the items to the approximately 150 men under his command. Negherbon had assumed they had all the supplies they needed, but his friend told him that wasn’t the case.
