MISSION: 

WLS Foundation exists to strengthen veterans, first responders, and their families in the fight to heal from trauma and live well.

HOW OUR MISSION IS ACHIEVED:

  • Through the generous donations of individuals, corporations and grants

  • Offering non-clinical services that make life better

  • By hosting WhenLifeSucks.org outreach events

  • Creating a community of support

An average of 22 veterans a day die by suicide! This is an astonishing and unacceptable number! I joined the WLS Board after witnessing firsthand the great work being done in local communities with at-risk veterans and their families. We are committed to making a difference.
