Greetings All!
I'm Mike and I'd like to introduce to you our private group for Veterans with PTSD.
https://www.gofundme.com/20o9m8
The Warfighters Modelers Consortium is a Privately Led Group of PTSD Veterans that use modeling and replica building to help build a sense of community, self-worth and camaradie in a low stress environment.
Model building itself is great for reintegration, coordination strengthening and trust among members of our group to cope with anxiety provoking situations -- all resulting in higher confidence and greater sense of self-worth and passion, and control in life. I feel it is the least I can do with my skills is to give back to them for sacrificing so much for our country.
This group is a peer group that also allows veterans talk over their challenges with other veterans. Each Veteran will have a project to work on until he or she is completed.
With this fund we will buy the projects, supplies and tools to make it all happen.
Any ideas or donations to our group would be much appreciated!
Thank You for taking the time to read and check our site!
Thank You so Much for looking!
Mike

Re: Modeling group for Veterans with PTSD!
I just found this. While I was in the military there was not a war we were involved in (publicly) but I still battle PTSD. I would explain if I could but I can't. When I get the spare money I will send a donation as I know how much modeling has helped me to deal with the problems I face.
