Our Mission is mostly to prevent the 22 Combat Veterans a day that commit suicide. We do this through all expense paid Hunting and Fishing Adventures for Combat Veterans to get them into the outdoors with a group of other Combat Veterans. They are able to talk about their similar situations and know that what they say is never repeated. They are able to learn that they are not alone in the mental fight they all share. Being in the outdoors most often calms their mind of the nightmares and allows them to heal mentally. Many return to their Families a more calm person, thus creating the domino effect. The Domino effect is where the Family can now be more calm and they can all heal together.
Lone survivor foundation (lsf) is a nonprofit organization which seeks to restore, empower, and renew hope for our wounded service members and their families through health, wellness, and therapeutic support.
We serve the Austin area community of veterans with combat related disabilities and their families by funding the cost of gym memberships for three months to promote and alternative, healthy method of coping with the symptoms of PTSD and other combat stress disorders
Military children move an average of six to nine times during their K-12 school years. Many make multiple moves during high school alone. Academic courses, extracurricular programs, graduation requirements and transfer of records vary greatly from state to state and even from school to school. These frustrations, in addition to giving up friends and associates, cause anxiety in military children. Separation from a deployed parent (or parents) tends to exacerbate an already difficult situation.
The Military Child Education Coalition is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit , worldwide organization that identifies the challenges facing the highly mobile military child; increases awareness of these challenges in military and educational communities; and initiates and implements programs to overcome them. MCEC''s goal is to level the educational playing field for military children wherever they are located around the world, and to model programs that are beneficial to all highly mobile children.
Our mission is to support combat-wounded military service members, and surviving spouses of those killed in action, by offering programs that facilitate a successful transition to civilian life. Our programs include home donation, academic and employment assistance, as well as opportunities to develop life skills that are essential to achieving success.
