Touch 22

You Can Make a Tangible Difference!

Every single day, 22 veterans take their own lives. That’s 22 suicides a day, a suicide every 65 minutes. As shocking as that number is, the real number may actually be higher. What we've learned from our recipients, is that immobility leads to isolation, and isolation erodes mental health, with too many becoming one of the 22.

As Jacob McWhorter, one of our courageous recipients, shared: "𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 22 𝙖 𝙙𝙖𝙮.
