Even heroes need help. Together, we can reverse the tide of Veteran suicide.
Most Americans will never serve in the military or fight for their country. Yet there are countless ways that everyone can help our Veterans, who often return home from war to face their most difficult battles.
Those severely injured may need to learn how to live with the loss of a limb or limited mobility. For others, brain injuries or post-traumatic stress disorder can make the return to their civilian lives a whole new kind of combat.
Still others will struggle with joblessness, homelessness, and an increasing sense of despondency. Those who’ve been in military service defending and protecting our country deserve so much better when they return home.
Put Yourself in Their Shoes
Picture this scenario: one day, you stand tall as a highly skilled member of the world’s most elite military force, and the next, you’re a Veteran navigating the labyrinth of civilian employment, pondering how your exceptional skills fit in.
It’s a journey of self-discovery, trying to find your footing in a new world while the bills keep rolling in. The price of transitioning from military service to civilian life is nothing short of staggering, and it can often thrust our Veterans into the depths of debt and despair.
Despair that may lead to suicide.
Since 2001, more than 131,000 Veterans have died by suicide, a rate that’s one and a half times the rate of the general population. Sadly, it’s estimated that 50,000 more Veterans will die by suicide this decade if action isn’t taken.
Taking such action is a multi-million dollar endeavor, and it’s one PureTalk is committed to seeing succeed by partnering with America’s Warrior Partnership (AWP).
Give the Gift of Fife. Support America’s Warrior Partnership.
AWP is dedicated to ending Veteran suicide, and PureTalk is committed to helping them.
Since February 2014, AWP has worked with tens of thousands of Veterans in its quest to stop Veteran suicide and help Veterans and their families live the purposeful life they deserve.
With more than an 85% case success rate, AWP makes a profound difference for Veterans across America by providing resources and opportunities to Veterans in the workplace and improving the quality of life for Veterans, their families, and caregivers.
Because of PureTalk’s partnership with the AWP, every PureTalk customer has the option to round up their bill to the nearest dollar each month with 100% of the proceeds going directly to support the efforts of the AWP.
This kind of patriotism is what drives PureTalk’s purpose and is just one of the many ways PureTalk is giving back to those who have given so much to preserve and protect our freedom.
Veterans Don’t Need a Handout, but They Sometimes Need a Hand Up.
For the sacrifice Veterans and active service members of the United States military have made to keep us free, every day should be Veterans Day, and it can be, with your help.
For less than a dollar a month, you can help the fight to end Veteran suicide. AMAC members get a free 3-year AMAC Membership when they switch to PureTalk and can choose an exclusive $10 plan just for them. Just as importantly, you can opt to round up your change at checkout, and it will be donated directly to AWP and the Veterans it serves.
You can’t put a price on the importance of AWP’s work, but you can make a small monthly donation to support it.
