Review for Vets4Vets, Tucson, AZ, USA

As the year has passed I have continued to be impresses with the results the staff are able to obtain when working with Iraq and Afghanistan - Era veterans during their transition back home. As we all know, that transition may take a very long time but having an organization such as Vets 4 Vets available 24 / 7 to assist during the bumps in the road is priceless.

Review for Vets4Vets, Tucson, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

How can anyone write a review about an organization that has saved the lives of so many, and has the potential to change the lives of so many more. I learned about Vets4Vets V4V at a time in my life when the services of such an organization was sorely needed. I have learned that peer support, and the time to tell my story, are invaluable. I have watched first hand the power V4V peer support groups have on those who finally come to one of the workshops. I will continue to participate in such workshops not only as a casual observer but as one who will lead groups discussions, providing that vital peer support all veterans deserve after returning from the rigors of combat. There is no doubt in the mind of this 37 year Marine veteran that the program as presented by V4V is the most powerful ever offered. Semper Fi - Tim Bahr, CWO-4, USMC (Retired / IRR)

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

directly participating with other veterans at workshops and seeing the changes in less than 48 hours of those who need peer support the most.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the respect I get and the togetherness I feel after attending one of the workshops.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

experienced and professional to a person.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

continue to reach out to more Iraq and Afghan veterans with the possibility of expanding to families of such veterans.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every week
