OUR STORY

22 a day...every veteran knows what this means. It is estimated that 22 veterans a day suffer death by suicide. Suicide numbers continue remain high as do thoughts about suicide.

 

Uplifting Warriors is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 84-5099243) whose mission is to connect our country's bravest service members and first responders with services to support their mental well-being.

 

Uplifting Warriors provides transportation to life changing resources that support the well-being of veterans and first responders. We firmly believe that strong support systems are key in reducing the 22 a day statistic. We hold annual events to give our participants a chance to disconnect from the world. Whether it is riding an airboat down the Platte River, a hunt excursion, hiking experience, or a concert, we provide non-therapy events where our participants can connect to others who understand their walk without the pressure of having to talk about their trauma.

 

We also partner with organizations in our warrior network that provide the therapy programs meant to help vets develop effective coping skills and processing of their traumatic experience. Uplifting Warriors provides transportation to these services no matter where our participants or service providers are in the country. We also have career services that help with career transitions into any number of partners we have in our warrior network.

 

We at Uplifting Warriors have a heart for the community in which we serve. Our desire is to help as many veterans as possible to achieve lifelong success in an effort to reduce 22. Although finances drive what you can do, your heart drives what you will do.
