Documentary on Veterans Mental Health

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Marcus and I am fundraising for a documentary on veterans mental health. I served 20 yrs in the service and didn't realize till I got out that I had some issues to deal with. There was nothing the military could have done to prepare me to reintegrate back into civilian life. Part of my struggle is not being able to adjust, find reliable help, PTSD, not having a sense of purpose, no more community, depression, and no structure just to mention a few.
I know there are others out there going through the same thing and I want to let them know they are not alone. I found that talking to other vets, photography/film, and my faith has helped me a lot. I will be traveling across the country to talk with veterans and their families about the mental struggles and the affects. I hope by documenting these issues about veterans will let someone know how they could help and be motived to do something. Other goals that I would like to accomplish are: Find ways to heal without medication, create a network of vets to talk and be accountable too, create a team that is able to provide the right resources & direction, long-term help/assistance, and somehow use the Arts/creativity to assist in the healing process.
