The Purple Heart Project is an amazing organization that definitely puts the Veteran first. Instilling a great sense of camaraderie with an extremely welcoming environment, Rob Cosman exemplifies his expertise while teaching and hosting these courses. Additionally, comingling the Veteran Scholarship attendees with paying customers really creates an amazing immersive experience. Everyone gets opportunities to share with the group about their experiences, life, hardships, etc. That alone is therapeutic, but the real gem of this is the woodworking. I never knew how relaxing it could be, nor was I aware how much I needed the entire package as a whole. It awoke things in me that I was unaware had become dormant. The entire staff go above and beyond in making sure everyone is taken care of, feels welcome, and gets as much as possible from the course. I wholeheartedly recommend this course, and organization, to anyone and everyone out there!
I was fortunate enough to have attended the Training the Hand Workshop. Met a group of men that were outstanding. To be able to hear the Vet's stories was moving. To know that they were given the chance to learn a skill to give them the chance to cope with negative effects of combat was great to see.
Now volunteering when I can for the Purple Heart Project, I have witnessed that more than 95% of the donated funds goes to the cause. It's great to see that this all volunteer run.
Rob Cosman and his family have built a top notch organization whose sole purpose is to support combat veterans. The creation of this project is rooted in pure love and compassion for those in need. I was fortunate enough to be invited to one of the PHP week long training courses where I learned valuable skills in coping with mental health challenges. I was also provided with the necessary tools and a personalized workbench to continue in a lifetime of woodworking therapy. I am forever great full and truly astounded by the efforts and generosity of everyone involved in making this organization possible.
