Through a non-denominational program based in spirituality that’s achieved in conjunction with journey’s to Israel (the birthplace of many of the worlds major religions), HTH and HTH Blue sends groups of 12-14 veterans or our nations police there. We successfully helps both male and female vets (police) at-risk for suicide (or who have made an attempt) suffering with PTSD, moral injury and or TBI by helping them reconnect with the faith they have lost due to the horrors they have seen and experienced.
This reconnection is achieved through the spiritual destinations visited over the course of 10-days that include being baptized in the Jordan River, visiting Yad Vashem, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and much more. In addition the veterans travel with IDF soldiers suffering in many of the same ways and the discussions that take place between these peer groups is a key part of the process. Truth-be-told, veterans and police speaking with other veterans and police is often the only way for deep-seated issues to be revealed and dealt with.
Of the 200 vets who have come through the program to-date all are with us, at various stages of beginning once again to live their lives. In addition approximately 85 cents of every dollar donated goes towards achieving our mission. The only cost to the veteran is getting to New York for the flight to Israel, and in 2018 the plan is to send 6 teams at a cost of approximately $10,000 per veteran. The organizations Founder is Judy Schaffer who quit her ‘day job’ to dedicate her life to this mission that means so much to her.
