As I move close to graduation from USC I began to think about what it was I truly wanted and how could I use my experience and education to help my fellow service members and Vet's. That is when I began to toy with opening a nonprofit that would focus on helping not only those Vet's that qualify for VA services and family members but, also those Vet's who do not.
So as of May 2014 I have begun to see this dream become a reality. and I have now started
Healing our Hero's & Family
Our Mission: Healing Our Hero’s and Families mission is to “Provide military veterans, current service members and their families with therapeutic care and to help enrich their personal and family lives.”
The road to recovery following a traumatic experience can be difficult to navigate alone.
