Not all wounds are physical. When the pain of those wounds becomes overwhelming, we step in to help in any way we can. “;IGY6” is not just a phrase we say; it’s a phrase we live by.

“What started out as a Marine wanting to take a walk…”
SAVE22® came into my life right after losing a fellow veteran. I was struggling with survivors’ guilt, alcohol issues and pills. This group of people changed my life and gave me purpose. They accepted me with zero judgement and helped me through. I am definitely a better person because of SAVE22® and what we can do together.
SAVE22® gave me the mission and the purpose to help other veterans discover their own mission and purpose.
“I myself, have used art as a way to express my emotions for many years. Over the last few years, I have used art as a productive outlet when words were not enough or too much to even speak. I now use art not only for myself, but to help others. In 2018 SAVE22® helped save me and I now use my art to design many different aspects to help SAVE22® save others as they saved me!”
SAVE22® provided me purpose when I thought I had none.
SAVE22® gave me hope when I thought all was lost.
“As someone who battles severe anxiety, unplugging from society is my go-to form of meditation. Sometimes just walking around our property looking for mushrooms or sassafras, and just focusing on the green space around me is enough to calm my racing thoughts and heart. Other times, it’s just not far enough away and I need to retreat to more primitive spaces. A weekend in the mountains has renewed my inner peace and given me strength to keep going more than a few times.”
SAVE22® showed me that by listening we can speak volumes to those in need. It has also unlocked a gift and passion I did not know I had.
SAVE22® pulled me out of my deepest hole.
