Wounded Times is now part of Point Man International Ministries

Many of Wounded Times Blog readers are aware that for the last couple of years I have been working with Point Man International Ministries.

It has been a blessing to be included in this group considering that I am not a veteran. My husband is a Vietnam veteran. It is because of him that I have spent the last 30 years trying to make a difference in the lives of our veterans and their families. It is because of this work Dana Morgan, President of Point Man encouraged me to be a part of this group that began working on the spiritual connection to combat and PTSD in 1984.

We can talk all we want about helping our veteran but as you've read on this blog in the last five years, we are far from really doing it. This battle is far from over. Point Man International Ministries DBA Point Man of Winter Park is now tax exempt with the State of Florida, CH36936. I obtained the IRS tax exempt last year but since I was still attending classes at Valencia College for Digital Media, it didn't make much sense to do the paperwork for Florida since I was not spending much money and didn't have time to seek donations. This step was taken a couple of months ago and as of this morning, the determination letter arrived in my mail box.

This is why the header image has suddenly changed.

What difference does this make to my readers?

None. I'll still be posting on everything I've been doing for the last 5 years. I will not seek government funding to allow me to be able to post what is really going on. I will not endorse any politician or political position that is not for veterans. If a politician does something for veterans or against them you will know it. I could have taken the easy way out years ago and just did what was popular but that wouldn't have helped anyone.

What does change?

I have the ability to seek donations to cover the expenses of traveling, public speaking, consultations and filming events. Up until now it has all been out of pocket and right now my pockets are empty. There is no way I can afford to find a location to hold meetings locally without financial support to be able to at least supply coffee and donuts while having a place to talk. I need donations to buy materials for veterans to understand how to heal from a spiritual basis. I also need local groups to help me with networking so that I have Yoga instructors to send them to along with any other group offering help to our veterans.

This is not about to be anything that needs huge donations to operate. As a matter of fact, while spiritual healing is priceless, it is not expensive. I just cannot afford to do it on my own anymore.

If you can make a donation, please do in any amount possible. If you want a copy of my book, you can donate to receive a pdf of it. Hard copies of it are not available yet since it does cost money to print them. Just make sure when you want a copy, put "book" in the subject on the Pay Pal donation.
