The board members-you guys are wonderful, because you come and you talk with us. You don’t just come to the board and walk away, you come sit and you say hi…you guys have something there at Heartland House.

…I was able to connect with, what I believe is, the creator of the universe. That’s the first time that I’ve ever done that. I really didn’t think there was anything. Through the 12 step program and Heartland House, I’ve been able to find a spiritual connection, and meaning and purpose in my life.

It’s important that every knows that Heartland House and their curriculum that we have, the stuff that we’re doing, where we’re going – I’m proud to be a staff member there. I’m proud to be an alumni there. I’m proud that I can give something back and help guys.

The last time I was here was about 3 and a half years ago and, I came back thinking I really needed help-bad. The VA was once again helping me out, I am a veteran, and they’ve always had my back. So they like to send us to the Heartland House, they have a special contract with them, which is really cool. So I went in there and I started to really listen to what was being said to me, which I hadn’t done before.

And I had lost-well, no-I gave it away-I gave away my daughter, my marriage, my family-so you had to asked why I wasn’t trying something.
