About Write For Your Life
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide compassionate, holistic support to active duty military, veterans, and their families, helping them navigate the complex challenges of mental health, trauma, finances, and housing — and empowering them to live with renewed pride, purpose, and hope.
About Us
Write For Your Life is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving and empowering our nation’s active duty service members, veterans, and their loved ones. Through compassionate support and meaningful resources, we help individuals navigate the hidden wounds of war and service — including PTSD, trauma, depression, physical health challenges, financial hardship, and housing instability.
We’re here to remind every service member and their family: You are not alone. Your story matters. Your life matters.
Our goal is to improve their well being, reduce stress, reduce suicide rate, improve their quality of life, give them hope, purpose, restore pride. We rely mainly on sponsorships, donations, and grants to help us offer our resources at no cost to the service members, veterans and their families.
We will be offering 3 to 4 conferences annually in various cities and states nationwide across the United States of America. Our conference will have keynote speakers and experts in various fields from on site professional counselors and therapist, resources, and gifts/takeaways. Also during our conference, we will have breakout sessions that will include various professionals, such as writers, poets, photographers, singers, painters, etc., to help demonstrate skills to assist with helping Veterans and their loved ones navigate and reduce stress while learning or enhancing a new skill.
In addition, we host a variety of events throughout the year, including fundraisers, community outreach events, and seminars.
Our conferences and events are here to meet you where you are - and help you move forward.
The experts will vary, depending on the city state and availability of the experts.
