It is well known that many of our military suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Far too many commit suicide which is estimated to be 22 a day. Because We Care, is aimed at helping to prevent this through staying in touch with our Veterans. Individuals contact Veterans by phone, messaging, cards, email, etc., to remind them that people do care & are available to help talk them through their difficulties and be with them on the rough days as they come.

Nursing Home Abuse Justice was founded to expose the widespread abuse and neglect that occurs in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Some statistics indicate that as many as 1 in 3 senior residents have been victims of nursing home abuse. A large number of abuse cases go unreported due to a lack of awareness on what constitutes abuse and neglect.
Our mission is to education seniors and their loved ones on what these symptoms of abuse look like, and what appropriate actions can be taken to help protect themselves or the people they love.
