These are people who served, asked for help, and were vetted by our review team. Every dollar raised goes toward getting one of them through the door of a legal, licensed program — not to us, and never toward substances.
We verify service history, confirm the clinical or program referral in writing, and speak with the person directly. Nobody appears here on their word alone.
Need is real and specific
Each person is listed with an exact amount tied to a real program cost — tuition, travel, lodging, aftercare — not an open-ended ask.
Funds go to the provider
Sponsorship money is paid directly to the licensed treatment center or retreat, never handed to the individual and never used for substances.

Army · 2009–2017 · Colorado Springs, CO
Two deployments, ten years of white-knuckling it alone

What the money covers Program tuition, six weeks of travel and lodging, aftercare sessions.
Their plan Six-week trauma-focused outpatient program with licensed clinicians, followed by twelve weeks of integration coaching.

Back from a deployment into a life that moved on without her

Their plan Land-based retreat with peer circles, then structured integration coaching alongside licensed therapy.

What sponsorship is and is not
Sponsorship pays program costs at licensed providers and legally operating retreats. It is not medical care, not a referral service, and not an endorsement of any specific treatment. We do not provide, source, recommend or fund controlled substances, and clinical decisions — including any dosing — belong solely to the licensed providers involved. Candidate profiles marked as demo stories are illustrative examples, not real people. If you are in crisis, please start on our safety page.
