David joined the U.S. Army as a way to get away from the realities of home. However, the longer he spent away on deployments, the more he saw his own life, relationships and framework of reality change and, ultimately, implode. His physical wellbeing began to suffer, leading to debilitating high anxiety and malnutrition. He knew he needed help. A friend encouraged him to apply for Boot Campaign’s Health & Wellness Program and David now shares how it has changed the trajectory of his life. With your support, Veterans like Dave will get the tools and treatment they need and so deserve. Please consider a one-time donation or join our nationwide network of recurring donors making a difference in the lives of our nation's Veterans and military families by visiting donate.bootcampaign.org.

Jeff went straight into the U.S. Navy after graduating high school in 1987. During his career that spanned both pre- and post-9/11, Jeff witnessed events that took the lives of many of his brothers and sisters in arms. He carried the weight of his experiences and those tragic losses with him, leading to a pattern of avoidance and withdrawal from loved ones. Once he was ready to take the first step to healing, Jeff began working through his individualized care plan through our Health & Wellness Program and never looked back. With your support, more Veterans like Jeff will get the tools and treatment they need and so deserve.

Harry joined the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves right out of high school so that he could simultaneously pursue a career in the police force. He deployed many times over his 21 years in service, and the lingering impacts from his experience in both the military and the police force led to physical and mental changes he couldn’t control. Harry shares how Boot Campaign and his personalized treatment plan saved his marriage, relationships, job and, frankly, his life. With your support, more Veterans like Harry will get the tools and treatment they need and so deserve.
