VETERAN ESTABLISHED
"The reason I want to help other veterans is because I have a passion for my fellow veterans. Getting out of the military and having no one and being up against a huge entity like the VA, knowing no resources, I had to go down extremely difficult roads on my own. Instead of letting that destroy me, I decided that I want to go back to school and do whatever it takes to be that person that I didn't have. I don't want another veteran going down the same roads that I did because they feel alone. I know what it feels like to feel completely defeated and like all is lost, so I want to show that all is not lost and you are not alone. We will get through this together." - Jared
