Hi, my name is Sue Kainz, coming to you today because I wanted you to see what Trauma looks like.
Give an Hour not only saved my husband, it saved me, it saved our daughter, it saved our marriage, and it saved our family.
A sergeant major recommended Give an Hour, and I called. I found a counselor online who was willing to talk with me on the phone, and she saved me. She saved me.
I realized that as a military spouse, it’s not just your husband who suffers from the trauma. You can’t live with a person who has been through military trauma and not be affected. We lose too many. I lost my cousin a few weeks ago. This was someone who I wish so deeply I could have had the chance to tell about Give an Hour. This scenario, and losing him could have been me. Let Give an Hour give you the tools for your toolbox.
