Hero Expeditions Incorporated

I don’t have enough positive things to say about this organization. I struggle to finds words strong enough to fully express my feelings. I met the president Jeremy though another nonprofit who highly recommend HEX. At the time I was newly out of my wheelchair. The gunshot wound to my arm was still not healed. I was taken in with open arms , I was shown I could still hunt, I could still get into the woods/field, they showed me there was others just as badly hurt or worse and out hunting. I given hope, hope that I was still useful that I have a purpose. HEX did follow ups after the hunt I wasn’t left on my own after the hunt. I became a advocate for HEX I recommend other veterans to HEX and got feed back that the call and the organization saved their life. That there should be speak volumes in its self. That a mere call and an organization willing to support vets saves lives, that the fact they do follow up calls keeps saving lives. I help a lot of other organizations and it’s bc of my first taste veteran nonprofits and the power they have to reduce our suicide rates among the veteran population.

I was on the verge of my 3rd attempt of suicide, id given up all hope of help and anything and plain was done with everything...a new friend Anthony met me and said ypur going on this hunting trip with me! I laughed and said yea sure why not with really no intention of even going. After i filled out the paperwork and story for HEX i sent it in and quickly recieved a phone call from Jeremy Heid and we talled for about 20-30 minutes. After that i thought more about the trip and talked to Anthony about it. We loaded up his truck with everything we could think about and left Tucson Arizona for Colorado. It was a long deive but each mile that went down we got alittle happier and some what excited. When we finally arived at 0300 in the morning Jeremy Heid and others were waiting on us. We socialized alittle then hit the rack for a few hours. When we woke up the whole camp area was buzzing with activity and we were awakend to new thing and a new purpose on life. We attendes the Honker Down banquet and were treated like royalties the stories and comaradery from each veteran was an eye opener. Meeting people who had been where u were or gone down the same road or thoughts!!!! Me and Anthony were truly blessed and happy to have bewn given the chance to wake up and be part of something bigger than we thought. We helped out the following year and have broadcasted the events and others to other Veterans. We found another family that wanted to help no questions asked! HEROES EXPEDITIONS IS THE BEST THING IVE SEEN! The matter and they are a huge reason im around today and the following year we helped out i brought along my 14 yr old daughter and she felt just as special and treated so well like she mattered also and she learned alot. If you can please help out and if you know a veteran or military member in need or just stuck get them in contact!!!!
