Real Stories

“What started out as a Marine wanting to take a walk…”

Tom Indorf

SAVE22® gave me hope when I thought all was lost.

Brandon Cannon

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!

Andrew Burgan

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.

John Moser

SAVE22® pulled me out of my deepest hole.

Justin Christner

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.

Albert Woodin

SAVE22® provided me purpose when I thought I had none.

Jason Rutledge

SAVE22® gave me the mission and the purpose to help other veterans discover their own mission and purpose.

Nick Trussell

“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.
