We have had funding challenges and now must work extra hard for our Veteran and Military Families as we currently have a large “wait list” of couples who need our help! Grant funding has not kept up with the demand nor have private donations. We honor all that have provided help in the past for their gifts. Thanks to all of you, we have helped hundreds of couples, but thousands are returning home and need our help. Please consider providing a couple with the tools they need during one of our retreats. You will not be sorry!

Seven Steps to Hell and Back is the story of a combat veteran’s Death Wish journey and how he struggled to survive in a civilian world. Author Frank E Wiggins, with Etta Cavalier (a former retreat participant), goes back in time to the Cold War while he was stationed in Germany during 1958 to 1959. To this day, Frank is still reliving the trauma that climaxed with his seventh mission involving clearing mine fields between the east and west German borders.

Candace Green has commented on the book, “Frank Wiggins has done an excellent job of describing PTS and what it can do to a person! After reading this book, I feel as if I know him. His conversations with his son lead us into the family system where PTS is held, opening up the cocoon. Stunning! It really brings it home to all of us. No more secrets and shame that hold the “IT” of PTS in place.”

Frank Wiggins has designated $1 from the sale of each book that is purchased through the book’s website. To find out more about this fascinating veteran, and to purchase the book, go to: www.sevenstepstohell.com/angelfire.

National Veterans Wellness and Healing is honored to have a unique company help with our support. At the heart of glassybaby is the mission of goodwill donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities dedicated to health, healing and quality of life, founder Lee Rhodes has created a lasting treasure to own and cherish.

A glassybaby is a small, colored glass cup, candleholder, or vase. But the light of a candle coming through a glassbaby generates more. Glassybaby are made through a multi layered glassblowing process and their color comes from different shaded color rods to produce a mix of opaque, translucent and deeply colored glass.
