The Mehadi Foundation was founded by Lance Corporal Jeff Key, USMC, a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. We are a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) Public Charity established solely to aid those most impacted by the war in Iraq: Veterans of this conflict, and Iraqi citizens.

The Foundation is named for a young Iraqi boy from the town of Badrah who showed exceptional kindness to the organization's founder, Jeff Key as he served as a United States Marine during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Mehadi's attitude of hope through adversity and his extreme generosity, even in great poverty, exemplify all that for which The Mehadi Foundation stands.

The Mehadi Foundation is based on the noble principles of human compassion and determination. We will not fail. Please be a part of this most important work! We need everyone.
