Operation Warriors Heart Foundation launches the Frontline Healing Foundation as a rebrand of their foundation whose mission is to "unite the power of social responsibility, sustainability, and the healing of our warriors" (military, veterans and first responders) struggling with addiction, PTSD and co-occurring issues.
BANDERA, Texas, Jan. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Operation Warriors Heart Foundation dba Warriors Heart Foundation, announces the Frontline Healing Foundation (FHF), which is a rebrand and naming of their 501(c)(3) that started in 2015 to help subsidize the cost of treatment for Warriors who do not have insurance benefits, including VA benefits, or the means to cover all costs. This foundation was created as a separate entity from the Warriors Heart Facility, and accepts tax deductible donations to help fund warriors (active-duty military, veterans, first responders and EMTs/paramedics) overcome addiction, PTSD, mild TBI, trauma, suicide, depression and co-occurring issues.
Since its inception, over 450 warriors have received funding from this non-profit. Most funding goes towards treatment services at the Warriors Heart Facility, and also covers funding for other verified programs. The goal is not to turn anyone away from treatment for financial reasons in their time of need.
Former Delta Operator and Warriors Heart Co-Founder Tom Spooner expressed his gratitude for the community's support of the Frontline Healing Foundation, "We are honored for all the support and continued support we receive that assists the foundation in getting our Warriors the help they need."
This 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supports programs "that address the unmet needs of suffering servicemen and women and give individuals and communities the tools to become self-sufficient."
Donations to the Frontline Healing Foundation help:
- Subsidize funding for chemical dependency and PTSD treatment that includes detox, in-patient residential treatment services, intensive outpatient program (IOP), one-on-one therapy and sober living.
- Fund ESA or Service Dogs for warriors that includes trained emotional support animals that provide a specific service to a warrior.
- Fund Sober Living housing for warriors who need continued support where there is structure after treatment while going back to school, volunteering and/or receiving outpatient treatment.
- Provide funding for Brain Treatment Therapy (MeRT), which is tailored to the patient's unique frequency pattern in the brain. It improves the synchrony of brain waves and cognitive health.
- Promote behavioral health education for veteran, law enforcement & firefighter resources for what to look for with chemical dependencies and PTSD.
As the Frontline Healing Foundation Executive Director, Warriors Heart alumni in long-term recovery, Former Green Beret and U.S. Army veteran Ted Lanier has dedicated his life to healing his fellow warriors. Lanier gives thanks, "A private donor saved my life by helping fund my treatment through the Warriors Heart Facility (separate entity from the Foundation), and gave me the tools to live. Leading this foundation is a great opportunity to 'Pay It Forward' to the next person, and save as many lives as possible."
