My Appeal
Hi All!
During these incredibly trying times we can be at a loss about how to help others.
I have started a team on the 'Heroes to Heroes Beat the Boredom and Save Lives, fitness and chore challenge. For a $20 donation to Heroes to Heroes, you can join my team.
Of course, the American heroes working in our hospitals and saving lives at great risk to themselves, are always in our thoughts.
We cannot forget our American heroes who served their country in combat, and who came home suffering from moral injury and PTSD.
A great many of these men and women go through each day at serious risk for death by suicide.
Remember the horrific statistic - 20 military veterans die each and every day by suicide!
We know times are hard. Our veterans are doing everything they can to stay connected with one another. Heroes to Heroes needs funds to make this happen. Would you please help with a donation of any size? Would you like to join my team?
Warmest thanks,
Judy

My Cause
The Mission: Heroes to Heroes provides spiritual healing and peer support for American combat veterans who have attempted suicide or are on a path to self-destruction.
About the Organization:
For ten years Heroes to Heroes has been commited to finding a solution for the suicide problem among our veterans. An average of 20 veterans per day choose suicide.
Over 300 veterans of all faiths (99% Christian) have taken our life-saving and life-affirming journeys to Israel, the Holyland. On these journeys, they walk the steps of the Bible to reconnect and find forgiveness. From baptism in the River Jordan to planting trees in the JNF Forest in memory of or in honor of loved ones, the journey to the Holyland is filled with awe and connection. Ten days changes lives. Follow up at home solidifies those changes.
Why forgiveness? In war our soldiers must do things to survive that are abhorrent to them. While in the war zone, all seems somewhat 'normal'. Upon their return home, what was done during war gets processed, and often leads to guilt. Living with this guilt can be a killer. Working through the guilt saves lives.
