SUCCESS STORIES

Proof of what real leadership and compassion can do.

Every story here began in a moment of crisis — a point where someone felt lost, overwhelmed, or pushed beyond their limits. Through mentorship, crisis navigation, faith, and steady leadership, lives were rebuilt, hope was restored, and new paths were created. These are real people, real battles, and real transformations. If you or someone you love is struggling, you’re not alone — and there is a way forward.

A Marine Veteran’s Journey From Crisis to Stability

In 2015, a US Marine veteran suffering from traumatic brain injury, severe depression, and suicidal thoughts walked into the VA with his mother — overwhelmed, slipping through the cracks, and desperate for help. The system wasn’t moving fast enough, and they felt completely alone.

That’s when we met.

From the first moments, Garret stepped in with clarity, presence, and leadership. He assessed the situation, built a plan of action, and personally guided the family through options, treatment pathways, and immediate next steps. When danger escalated, he didn’t walk away — he stayed with the veteran through the night, ensuring he wasn’t left behind or forgotten.

Through Garret’s contacts and advocacy, the veteran was admitted into a specialized treatment program. When he completed that stage, Garret continued supporting him through the next chapters of recovery — providing structure, mentorship, spiritual grounding, breathwork, rational behavior therapy, fitness routines, and daily accountability.

Over time, the transformation was profound:

  • stabilized traumatic brain injury

  • accurate bipolar diagnosis and proper medication

  • sobriety

  • consistency in routines and physical health

  • enrollment in college

  • graduation with a degree

  • meaningful employment

  • spiritual grounding

  • healthy relationships

  • independent living

  • long-term stability

Today, years later, he is a productive member of society — sober, stable, educated, grounded, and thriving. He still checks in from time to time, not in crisis, but for guidance on life, relationships, and staying aligned.

His mother said it best:

“There’s no doubt Garret saved my son’s life. The progress he’s made through Garret’s leadership, mentoring, and friendship has been amazing. I can never repay him for what he did for our family.”
