Help a VMI Brother Rat Find Stability, Healing, and Hope

For more than 15 years, our VMI Brother Rat has battled severe depression — a struggle that has slowly taken away his ability to work, maintain stability, and live in a safe environment. Despite the challenges he faces, he desperately wants to get back on his feet. He wants to work. He wants to rebuild. But the weight of depression has made that impossible, and he is deeply embarrassed about the situation he is in.

He has never asked for help. But now, he truly needs our help.

We are coming together to support him during this difficult time and to ensure he receives the medical and mental health care he urgently needs. This may include:

• In-patient treatment

• Ongoing mental health support

• Temporary housing

• Storage for his belongings

• Basic necessities while he stabilizes

Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping him regain safety, dignity, and a foundation for recovery. Our goal is to give him the chance to heal, reset, and return to the life he has always wanted — one where he can stand on his own, work again, and feel hopeful about his future.

If you’re able to contribute, no matter the amount, you’ll be making a real and immediate difference in the life of a Brother Rat who has quietly fought a long, painful battle.

Thank you for your kindness, your support, and for showing what the VMI spirit truly means.
