Help Jess with PTSD therapy
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jess and I’m currently enlisted in the Army National Guard as a medic for the past 13 years. While serving in the Army I’ve worked a few civilian jobs to include corrections officer, EMT, and range safety officer to name a few.
Currently I work in a local hospital’s ICU as a patient care technician and cardiac monitor room tech. Over the past 13+ years I’ve seen and gone through some tough things (such as MST), which has resulted in a diagnosis of PTSD, severe depression, anxiety, and alcohol use disorder.
A friend reached out to me a week ago about an amazing residential treatment facility (Warrior’s Heart) in Bandera, TX just outside of San Antonio. The full time, 6 week program helps with detoxing and living a sober life, while helping people work through their traumas and mental health. This place is awesome and only accepts people who are military/first responders/law enforcement/firefighters. So I will be able to talk in a setting with other people who have traumas that we all understand and have camaraderie. I have a possible start date of July 24th.
The money I’m trying to raise will first go towards the payment for my care which is around $1,000. If I had to pay out of pocket care would cost $33,000, but my health insurance is covering most of it. The other $1,000 I’m asking for is to cover the cost of my flights to and from TX. If there is any additional money after the initial $2,000 we will put it towards our bills while I’m out of work. I have been out of work since early June and we’re financially struggling until the doctors feel comfortable with me returning to a stressful job.
Any amount is appreciated and if you can’t help please just pass this along. I’d also appreciate your thoughts and prayers as I try and handle this so I can be back at my fullest for my family, Army, and work. Thank you!!
