Veteran Concierge: In Loving Memory Of Benjamin Toci

Donation protected
Every 80 minutes, a veteran dies by suicide. They make up just 7% of the U.S. population, yet account for 20% of overall suicides. In 2022, there were 6,407 suicides among Veterans. On June 27, 2022, my brother, Benjamin Toci, was one of them. He served our country with honor but struggled to find the support he needed when he came home. In his memory, I’m launching Veteran Concierge™, a nationwide online directory that connects veterans and their loved ones to trusted, pre-vetted nonprofits and resources—for free.

This isn’t just a project. It's a mission and nationwide call to action. It’s about becoming the resource connector that I wish my brother and I had.

We’re starting with a soft launch to raise awareness and attract ambassadors at the Networking For A Purpose event on April 30th that the Pyramid Club in Philadelphia. With your support, we can bring this to life nationwide!

Donations will fund:
  • Web development and resource directory automation.
  • Outreach to veteran nonprofits across the country.
  • Marketing and awareness campaigns.
  • Training community ambassadors to become resource connectors.

This is a movement. And every dollar gets us closer to saving lives.

Thank you for believing in this mission. Together, let’s be the bridge between struggle and support.

Our $25,000 launch goal covers three critical phases:
✅ Phase 1: Initial Directory Build & Website Launch
✅ Phase 2: Nonprofit Outreach & Ambassador Trainings
✅ Phase 3: Public Awareness & PR Expansion
