Casey Skudin 343 Fund Inc

After years of alcohol, pharmaceuticals, therapists, and dead ends, I was at the end of my rope until I met a coworker for lunch and he mentioned The Casey Skudin 343 Foundation Grant. Desperate for help, I applied and quickly received a phone call telling me I had been accepted. Six weeks later, I felt like I had died and was reborn. My life was completely turned around and I again had purpose to live. I had never imagined such a natural, holistic medicine was creating second chances for first responders. All my suicidal fantasies were gone. I was filled with so much peace, love, joy, and calmness, none of which I’d ever felt before. Angela Skudin and the 343 Fund are doing God's work, and I’m going to do whatever I possibly can to pay it forward so more of my brothers and sisters can be saved.

Now more than ever they need to be ready to support our first responders. Any support for this organization that means so much to me is greatly appreciated. Everyone deserves the chance that I was given.

My name is James Hermes, a retired police officer. Since my retirement, I have learned so much about mental health for myself, first responders, and veterans. The lack of care they receive and the number of pharmaceuticals they prescribe is ridiculous. I have found that first responders dealing with mental health issues have been told that prescription pills and therapy are what you need. This is not true and not the best answer. First responders who have seen and been through trauma through their career of service and life in general have been through more than a therapist can talk about.

The 343 Fund helps first responders and veterans get better treatment that is working to combat PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, and much more. The best part is most people who complete this treatment don't need or want prescription pills or alcohol. I can personally tell you this has been life-changing, and I pray more people can get the same treatment. After I spoke to the 343 Fund, I was on a plane heading to a treatment facility and was changed forever. My whole outlook on holistic medicine, natural, spiritual healing has been the best thing for me and my family.

My goal is to raise enough money to help someone go through this treatment and pay it forward for all it has done for me.

Every $1 counts and is appreciated.

This treatment is so good that Joe Rogan, Sean Ryan, and many more veterans talk about it on podcasts. In addition, Former Governor Rick Perry is working on legalizing it in Texas. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for questions.
