With my PTSD it's hard to hold down anything. Job, Relationships ect. I'm currently in therapy and I recently left the country, NOT on vacation but more of a survival mission. I'm on a fixed income and its very hard to save money for travel. While traveling I realized that most of it was good for my mental health. I was able to disconnect, ground and catch a glimpse of my greater self. I miss me, Combat took everything from me that I loved about myself. I desire to travel the world for one year to try and get some of me back, that was lost on the battlefield. One thing that I witness in the military as a professional Paratrooper attached to Special Forces, Is that for every one Combat Soldier, there were 20 other soldiers supporting that one. I am that Paratrooper and with your support, I will get a chance to quiet the night terrors, ground, reconnect and practice my invivo therapy , In hopes to healing and suppressing the images that still haunts me today. My overall goal is to be a Pathfinder for other Veterans suffering from PTSD , to introduce them to the healing powers of travel and the great outdoors. I will use the funds to finance my travel from places to stay, food, etc and to make the connections needed so other Veterans can follow. This is NOT a vacation but more of a mission for myself and others. It's my plan to take off on this mission June 2020, Your help and financial support will mean the world to me, I will be forever grateful and I know this will be the spark of something bigger than me.
NO PERSON LEFT BEHIND... Roger that ?
