Mission: Mission 22 is a non-profit who combats the ever rising veteran suicide rate. Every day, more than twenty veterans are lost to suicide. Mission 22 wants to bring that number to zero and help heal our warriors and our nation. It does this with three main programs; veteran treatment programs, memorials and national awareness. Mission 22 provides treatment programs to veterans for Post Traumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury and other issues they might be facing. It organizes events and builds memorials to create social impact and awareness for these issues. Mission 22 also has an Ambassador volunteer program for people to get involved as well. Ambassadors educate the public on veteran issues, help get veterans into Mission 22 treatment programs and create resources in their communities. Through these three programs, it enables a push for the betterment of our nation's heroes and united we will heal.

Mission 22 is great as it has only one goal: ending veteran suicide. That clear mission makes it extremely accessible to every and makes the conversation ms around suicide possible. It’s ok to not be ok.

I joined Mission22 in 2017, after personally losing far too many fellow veterans to suicide. I became an Ambassador in South Carolina, and every veteran I am able to help, comes back to help me ten fold, wether they know it or not. I will continue to be a lifelong member of this incredible organization.

I volunteered for Mission 22 for a couple years doing everything from being an ambassador to state leader in two states. I can honestly say that there is nothing like it. It’s not just an organization, it’s a family. Everyone you meet is so welcoming and has the biggest heart. Everyone who volunteers puts so much effort into the cause and it’s something amazing to be apart of!

I joined Mission 22 as an Ambassador almost a year ago. It has been a wonderful experience. The programs Mission 22 provides to our Veterans and their families free of charge are life saving. Creating awareness and raising money for such a great organization has become a central purpose in my life and I am proud to be a able to give back to the ones who make this great country possible.

I've been with Mission 22 since 2018. Mission 22 gave me a purpose when I desperately needed one. It gave me hope. Everyone that's a part of this amazing organization is 100% dedicated and committed to our veterans. I am a veteran who suffers with PTSD and the programs and support I get with Mission 22 is unmatched and necessary. The VA shouldn't be our o KY choice I getting the help we need because it's not always a good choice. Mission 22 changed my life.

I have been an Ambassador with Mission22 for 4 years and have had the opportunity to share our mission with many. Seeing the relief in their eyes when they realize that people not only understand but want to help, is life changing.
Most recently there was a Nationwide Walk to bring awareness to Veteran Suicide and we had over 100 people coming to support Veterans, Their Families, and the Community!

Every day 22 Veterans WILL take their life due to PTS, TBI, or Military Sexual Trauma - Mission22 is making an impact and I am proud to be a part of such an amazing resource!

I wanted to take the time to share my thoughts on the Mission 22 organization. I found them thru a merchandise company in my state thousands of miles where Mission is headquartered. When I looked into what they do and how they do it, I was overwhelmed by the vast network of ambassadors, and their dedication to supporting the mission. The Mission 22's leadership is integral to the programs successes and fully understand the needs of the Veterans and their families, that they serve. Thankful for the great work done by Mission 22@

Is am a disabled vet with PTSD.. it’s hard to explain to people the demons that we fight . Sometimes it just takes a simple “hi how you how can I help” I have a service dog that does that for me everyday . This organization seriously is the best non profit out there for vets fighting the war at home . Love these people .. great thing is not all are vets just people want time to help !

I had heard of this organization but was never very familiar. Then we had Sarah Sparks, a State Leader in Indiana, speak to our run club. I learned more about the organization and knew I wanted to be involved. I began as an ambassador and about a year later became a co-State Leader for Indiana. I have seen and heard from people that Mission 22 is making a difference and I am honored to do my part.

I found Mission 22 after talking with a classmate who was an Ambassador. Once I researched and found out more about the mission, I knew I had to jump on board. As someone who deals with PTSD, I can share my story of almost becoming one of the 22. Getting out in the community and spreading the word on how we can end veteran suicide, is something I feel everyone should do. The mission is so much larger than what meets the eye.

This is a beautiful organization filled with the most giving, open hearted people with the kindest souls. Everyone is here because they truly understand what it is like to be affected by loss and never want anyone to feel hopeless or like they have no one to turn to for help. Thanks to this group, no one ever has to feel alone again because if they reach out, these people will give their all. I fully support and respect everyone involved in Mission 22, 100% and am so proud and honored to be a part of this and making sure that no soldier is left behind. ;IGY6

I was so lost after losing my brother, a veteran, to suicide. I found Mission 22 during a push-up social media challenge and began volunteer work. I was so angry and isolated and connecting with veterans and their families has brought me so much healing and restored peace and purpose in my life. Everyday I see people step out of hopelessness and become happy and healthy. Their endless efforts to reach the hurting, their spirit of unity, and their altruistic endeavors make Mission 22 my charitable organization of choice.

I recently lost my God son to suicide, literally three weeks ago. I had no clue where to turn for support. One of his friends told me about Mission22, so I immediately seeked them out. They welcomed me with open arms. They provided the support that I needed to get through this unimaginable pain. I am now an Ambassador for Mission 22. I am honored to be a part of such an amazing nonprofit. Our hearts are genuine and we all have the same goal, to end veteran suicide. My Godson was only 28 years old. He was such an amazing person with a huge heart. All he ever wanted to do in life was make a difference. I have chosen to pick up where he left off, and honor him by spreading awareness in hopes of preventing anymore suicides. Everything I do will be to honor him and so many others! Mission 22 is making a difference and I am honored to be a small part of that.

I am an Oklahoma Ambassador for Mission 22! Just finished my first event at the Great State Fair of Oklahoma and Mission 22 really came through for me and for the Veterans attending the Fair. We got information into the hands of so many! What drew me to Mission 22 was their "GOLD STANDARD" .. over 88% of all donations go back to the Veterans! THAT is something to be proud of!!

Thanks Mission 22!

I found Mission 22 while on vacation in Pigeon Forge for Jeep Invasion. One of the Jeeps had a Mi22ion decal.
I started researching what the mission consisted of, and possibly more importantly, where were donations being spent to help Veterans.
I could only find positive comments, notes, and feedback. So I applied for an Ambassador roll. After being accepted, I have volunteered for one event, but followed many events all over the United States. Each event has been filled with positive veterans and supporters that truly care. People that want to make a difference.
It is very important to me for both male and female veterans be treated with respect. Other veteran groups I have previously helped, could sometimes be thought of as a “boys club”. Mission 22 has shown nothing but professionalism. I believe, M22 is here to stay, and will continue to do great things all over the US. I am excited to be considered as part of District 11’s family.
God bless our veterans and their family’s.

Mission 22 has helped out in so many ways. From informing me how many veterans take their lives on a daily basis to what programs are out there for our veterans. I myself am a Marine combat veteran who suffers from PTSD. So i know what these veterans we talk to are going though and have went through. It’s a scary place to be in but with the help of mission 22 and it’s many programs and ambassadors, veterans will feel at home and comfortable. So please spread awareness for our veterans. I am also the Southeast state leader of Florida. Semper Fi.
