Lone Survivor Foundation

I hate to write this but I feel slighted by the way I have been treated by this organization. My wife was a veteran and served in Iraq during OIF. She was raped by her commanding officer and never was able to deal with it properly. 6 years after getting out of the Army, I got her into counseling but it did not seem to do the job.
I reached out to this foundation and she was accepted into their program. She returned home and told me that it seemed to help but was far from being over the incident. Not too long after, she started abusing hard drugs in an attempt to avoid dealing with her day to day memories and thoughts about what happened to her in Iraq.
On October 30th, 2021 her and I went to lunch together, ate tacos and drank a couple beers. We had a great day as we always did together. We came back to the house and after being home a short time I noticed that she had left the house without telling me. I called her over and over to see where she had gone and when she would be home. After a LOT of phone calls to her she answered the phone and tole me that, "she didn't want to be here anymore and that she couldn't deal with it anymore." She told me how much she loved me and the kids and hung up the phone.
Several hours later I received a call from a local deputy sheriff that they had located her and that she had shot herself. She was the love of my life and unlike anyone that I had ever met before. My world crumbled as I heard these words over the telephone. As I was dealing with the aftermath I had a thought that I should reach out to the Lone Survivor Foundation and let them know what had happened. I thought that being they had tried to help her that they would probably like to know what happened to her. On December 1st, 2021 I emailed them the following,
Good afternoon,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this email to you. My wife Jessica attended your retreat a few years ago to help her with her PTSD that she suffered after serving in the Army and OIF. Jessica took her life last month on October 30th. Myself and our entire family are devastated by her choice. I am having a very hard time dealing with the loss of her, she was the love of my life and I am not sure what to do now that she is gone. I wasn't sure if you kept track of soldiers that came through your program but I felt the need to reach out to you and thank you for the help that you provided her while she was there. I would like to donate some money to your foundation in hopes that it may help other families not have to experience the loss that I am feeling. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Let me just say that nobody ever even replied to me. I went to their website and donated money through their "Legacy Brick Program." I want to say that I purchased one for their Texas location and one to be sent to me and it was in the upwards of $1k (+/-) for these two items. It has been 16 months since Jessica's took her own life and I ordered these bricks. As of writing this review, I have still not heard back from anyone regarding the email that I sent them regarding her death, nor the several emails that I have sent them asking about delivery of the Legacy Bricks that I paid for.
For a foundation that it's mission statement is supposed to be, "Lone Survivor Foundation’s Mission Is To Provide Veterans And Their Families With A Path To Healing From Their Invisible Wounds," it sure seems to me that they could really care less. Something that I always stick by in my life is that actions speak louder than words and let me tell you, their silence speaks volumes!!! If I had a way to get my money back and tell them what they can do with their "Legacy Brick Program" I would but for now I guess this is my only way of letting the rest of you know that this foundation is not all what they present themselves to be. Sadly disappointed that another US Vet has been let down.

My husband and I have volunteered for LSF and the positivity that is related to helping this wonderful Foundation fills our hearts. Meeting Mr. Luttrell and hearing his story more than solidifies our gratitude for what he went through and how he continues to give to those suffering. May God protect this Foundation and all touched by it.

I am a volunteer for LSF. I promote this great group who are helping our veterans.
I financially support them monthly, fund raisers they have and through telling others about the good they do for our Veterans, my husband is retired Air Force. I have several family members and friends who are either active or retired military. A worthwhile group of caring people who help our Veterans.

On retirement, I researched many the Veteran Support nonprofits and Lone Survivor Foundation was recommended time and again by Veteran leaders I respect highly. I signed on to help and haven’t looked back since. Great team, VITAL MISSION - SAVES LIVES!!!!!! Looking forward to years of helping wherever I can to serve our Veterans struggling to come ALL the way home.

I started volunteering 4 years ago with LSF. Volunteering has been great and very rewarding. The Volunteer Coordinator is top notch and makes sure you have everything for a successful event. It's like I have extended my family with the LSF folks.

As a volunteer with LSF for over 3 years, and as the close friend of several retreat attendees, I can personally attest to the value that LSF brings to the veteran community. I have witnessed the positive life change experienced by the Veterans who have attended, and heard time and again how thankful they are for what LSF provides. These people inspire me to continue my personal mission of advocating for Veterans and their families, and I will do that with the Lone Survivor Foundation for as long as they'll have me.

I was a women's MST retreat attendee and it was nothing short of life changing. LSF introduced me to EAGALA therapy. It had been the only way truly heal and find my confidence again. After I went home, LSF made sure I continued therapy. Now I am psychology graduate looking to get my own EAGALA certification!
