My Nonprofit Reviews

To all at Charlie Mike,

I wanted to put into words what my experience has been like with Charlie Mike and how you have impacted my life in the short time I have been involved with you since meeting at Ft. Bragg, NC.

As you were set up with a couple of dogs that day for the opportunity to adopt a battle buddy for Veterans. In this case, the battle buddy I met was Harley, a German Shepherd with his own story, but I’ll leave that for another day. Once I met Hannah, Justin, and Samira of Charlie Mike, I knew you were all there for the right reasons. To accomplish their mission of helping veterans, and it is just one of the services they provide is placing a rescue dog, companion or battle buddy with a veteran to help them through those difficult days.

I am a combat veteran who, like many, comes home and doesn’t realize they are broken and injured, unsure where or how to ask for help. I lost a little over six years of my life trying to battle quietly and am slowly trying but putting the pieces back together. They have a motto, “Save a Dog, Save a Veteran.” I’m not really sure who saved who, but I believe this organization and Harley saved a Veteran.

What you provided is undeniably one of the most valuable parts of healing, and that is the unconditional love and that comes from my battle buddy Harley and the entire organization. Charlie Mike provides you with a companion that goes through their screening and training process and also incredible support after the placement In my case, the final result is a dog named Harley, and a team of friends that has made a difference to help continue my mission of life, and healing process.

I want to truly say thank you for your time, talent, and expertise please don’t stop what you are doing “Save a Dog, Save a Veteran.” It’s not just a motto I promise you.
