“I had taken myself out of life. I was just waiting to die. Through it all, Peter, a Veterans Count Care Coordinator, never gave up on me – a lot of people would have given up, but he didn’t. He rode the ups and downs with me. I’m living proof you can come back from the brink.”
— Warren Mickle, Vietnam veteran
“It was like a gift from God. Veterans Count was there so I didn’t have to lose my pride and integrity. There’s no shame in asking for help. You have to have a say in what you want for your life. I’m not a hero. I’m a person with a beautiful family, and I’m getting the help that I need.”
— John, Hospital Corpsman
“I wanted to be able to handle it all and do it all without needing any help whatsoever. So having Veterans Count come into my home was unexpected. We sat down that first time and kind of mapped out exactly what I was having problems with and what was overwhelming for me. And they really worked to ease that 100%. The extra help eases a lot of stress on my husband’s end too, knowing that we are okay here.”
— Julianna, Mother-of-three, husband Dustin served in Iraq
“For the past year-and-a-half, we felt like we were swimming. We are strong swimmers, but sometimes we got tired and needed a life raft. Veterans Count was our raft. It isn’t a charity. I hate getting something for nothing. Veterans Count is a team effort, and your family needs a team to help them when you are gone. You just have to have help and support.”
— Richard, Army Reserve Specialist
“If it wasn’t for Veterans Count, my life would’ve been a lot different. I wouldn’t have known where to go. My Care Coordinator was able to point me in a direction that I didn’t know existed. Veterans Count has been there all along. I never thought I’d ever need Veterans Count, but they came through again and again.”
— Bob, Army National Guard
