Imagine a place where Veterans can come “home” with other Veterans, struggling with invisible wounds from war, to heal together with dignity. A home that’s quiet…without the noise or lights of the city. A home designed especially for their needs with individual sleeping quarters, family rooms and communal areas for all of the other day-to-day needs.

Imagine a place that is created by an advisory board of Veterans for Veterans. A place that focuses on holistically healing Veterans, addressing the 7 core principles of healing; physical health, mental health, spiritual health, financial health, social health, life skills and selfless service to community.

Can you imagine?

The Why:

The Mission:

Our mission is to restore hope and stability to Veterans. Through a Veteran-centered approach to healing, peer to peer support, a personalized comprehensive stability plan, and a residential facility; we will empower Hoosier Veterans with the tools needed to heal with dignity.

The Vision:

We will transform the old Indiana National Guard Armory in Boswell, Indiana into the first of three Indiana residential Restoring Hope facilities. Boswell’s Restoring Hope will set the precedence. Restoring Hope is a sober living facility focusing exclusively on healing the Veteran and their families. We will utilize a blend of conventional medicine and treatment, partnered with alternative therapies such as but not limited to, art, music and equine therapy. The unique environment of Restoring Hope will create a “home” where Veterans heal Veterans.

The Need:

We need to raise $250,000.00 to give the property located at 417 S Old Hwy 41, Boswell, IN 47921 back to Hoosier Veterans. Simultaneously, Mary T Klinker Veteran Center will collaborate with contractors and donors on renovating the building to accommodate the need, while partnering with community leaders in developing programming. The goal is to bring them home by 2025.

Will you be a "Hero to Heroes" today? Your Giving Tuesday donation will be an eternal gift that never stops providing hope for heroes. Please share this message with your organizations, churches, friends and family! Together we are making a difference in the lives of heroes! Happy holidays!
