The Chris Johnson Veterans Revival Project

In the therapeutic, natural, wild beauty of the Colorado mountains, we will heal our veterans through companionship, conversation, and purpose.  There is a major problem here we are attempting to solve.  The latest VA study on veteran suicide indicates a suicide rate of 20 veterans per day.  We believe that if we give veterans a job to do, proximity to other veterans working through the same problems, access to counseling, better prospects for the future, and time, that we can reduce that number in our clientele.   But we need your help.  Our nonprofit organization is currently raising money to purchase a ranch where we can begin operations.  Our veterans will have access to many jobs on the ranch.  We have partnered with the ASPCA to accept rescue horses and dogs that the veterans will be paired with and will train, thus saving the animals as well as promoting the healing power of animal kinship.  There will also be opportunities in construction, as our veterans help to build out the ranch so that we can accept more clients.  Many other roles will be available as well for every aspect of ranch operations.  As we stabilize we will branch out into other operations such as operating veteran-staffed food trucks.  As each healed veteran departs from the ranch, we will provide support with employment assistance or placement and arrange follow-up with our counselors.  We believe that through our actions we can save lives.  It all starts here.  With them.  With us.  With you.
