Help Our Veterans Heal Today

Published February 1, 2013

Help Our Veterans Heal Today – Will you help a Veteran find hope and healing? Many Veterans return to our country with debilitating conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or dependency on medication. Adjusting to everyday life is difficult and support is limited, so some suddenly find themselves on a path towards drug/alcohol abuse, unemployment, homelessness, and even death. The Recovery at Sea organization is driven by stories of survival and hope. We are dedicated to empowering people to take control of their course in life, but our operations depend upon community support. Through offering assistance towards the wellbeing of others, you will find happiness and strength in your own life. www.recoveryatsea.com
