We wanted to shine a light on Camp Hope, an incredible organization helping veterans battle combat-related PTSD completely free of charge.⁣ ⁣ David joined the show to explain how it works: peer-to-peer support, licensed counselors, equine therapy, and a real community of fellow combat vets who understand what our heroes have been through. Six to nine months of real healing, not just a weekend retreat.⁣ ⁣ It costs the veteran nothing but their time, all because of a community that shows up for our troops in a real way. Right here in Houston, there's truly nothing else like it in the world.⁣

Light cannot be put out by darkness — it's the presence of light that gets rid of it.
Some people will look for the 1% error just to talk you out of the 99% you're doing right. Don't let them. Take the small step anyway.
