My Nonprofit Reviews

Three years ago our grandson, SPC Chad D. Coleman was KIA in Afghanistan. For the 1st year after his death we tried to get through the darkest hours of our lives and we were not successful. We did hear about Being There Reaching Out but declined to attend the 1st year and then we realized that we had to find a way to deal with this tragedy. We decided to attend our 1st Being There Reaching Out in the spring of 2012. The moment we arrived we knew this was the place for us. Everyone was just like us trying to find some comfort and a way to continue on. We most certainly found it there. The people who run B.T.R.O. are the greatest, always comforting, offering advise and ways to cope and the families who attend are more than willing to help you through the dark hours. All events are so well planned, including special things for the little ones, different activities that appeal to everyone and best of all people willing to listen to your story. Every fallen soldier is honored in so many ways and every story is unique. This has been our lifeline and we wouldn't trade our experiences for the world. We will always attend their events because it brings us peace, comfort and the will to go on. Hats off to the men and women from B.T.R.O. & thanks for all you do..Dale & Mary Coleman
