Our Veteran Community suffers 22+ Suicides per day, Homelessness and constant struggles adapting to civilian life. We are proactive and help our Veterans transition using our 6 month program teaching financial classes, software engineering and IT, college classes, VA Navigation, Combat Trauma Christ Based classes and much more.

**Announcement**

The creation of Transition Outside the Wire had one central goal: to help our veterans find their purpose after service and equip them with the tools necessary to thrive in civilian life. I remain deeply committed to our mission of assisting veterans immediately after their service, rather than waiting until they are in crisis to seek help. At no point have any board members received a salary; our efforts have been entirely selfless and focused on the veterans we serve. Over the past six years, we've successfully assisted 208 veterans, thanks to the support of everyday Americans like you and the unwavering dedication of our staff.

This journey has not been without its sacrifices and losses. Sean Huffman, an Army veteran, lost his life to cancer in 2020, and Brian Alvarado, a Marine veteran, recently succumbed to the same illness. Additionally, my wife and co-founder of Transition Outside the Wire, Shannon Francis, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. My focus must now shift to her needs as her loving husband and caregiver.

Tragically, the good Lord has taken Shannon home, and I want to personally thank each and every one of you for your prayers, support, and love during this difficult time.

IGod bless and Semper Fi
