Join Us in Supporting Veterans: A Campaign Against Veteran Suicide and Supporting Their Transition

The tragedy of veteran suicide is a personal and collective sorrow. A close friend, a 21-year-old Marine, tragically exemplified this after his service, as he grappled with his civilian identity, ultimately feeling defeated despite numerous attempts to carve out a new life. Tragically, his story echoes across the United States, where we lose 22 veterans to suicide daily.

Driven by this distressing reality, we’ve initiated ProudParent, aimed at providing unwavering support and resources for veterans facing the complex journey from military to civilian life. Our mission with ProudParent is to deliver holistic support through counseling services tailored for veterans at any phase of their service lifecycle.

Your support for ProudParent can significantly impact lives, offering veterans a beacon of hope and assurance that their service is honored, and their challenges are met with understanding and support. Join us in this critical mission to combat veteran suicide and empower our veterans to transition smoothly and successfully into civilian life. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for us.
