Hi, my name is Heidi. I am a sister to Zech, my brother who has dedicated his whole adult life to the military. He has been deployed and has seen things so unimaginable that he can't even talk about it. Recently, after 20 years of serving our country, there were some unforeseen changes that ended his career, and some of it was due to alcohol. This is a very touchy subject for most, and I understand how alcohol can be used for numbing and trying to self-treat PTSD.
With all that being said, he also lost his dog around the time he lost his job, and at this point, he knew there were some huge changes that needed to be made. My brother is a loving, compassionate family man. He'd take the shirt off his back for a stranger. He's talked many, many soldiers off the edge, and I know because I've witnessed it myself. He is who the young men called if they had any struggles, and it helped them so much because they knew my brother had them himself.
He has now admitted himself into recovery. He is officially in rehab, and I wanted to set this up so that he could possibly get some type of support financially and emotionally. I know that while he is away, his number one stressor is bills, bills, bills. While he is in rehab, he has not had any income. I thought I would make an account for him to help alleviate his concerns and stresses. I want him to be able to walk out with a positive, hopeful mindset and worrying about bills wouldn't help. Appreciate everything. Thank you.
