“USA Cares was the first one to listen to me,” Darrian said. “There wasn’t judgment just, ‘How can we fix this problem? USA Cares’ assistance kept Darrian and his family in their apartment. Today, he is employed and continuing treatment for his mental health. It took some time jumping from doctor to doctor, trying different medications, different therapies, but it’s worth it, Darrian said. I want other veterans to know it’s OK to ask for help. We all do at some point. Whether it’s your health, or your financials, don’t let your pride get in the way of someone helping you get to a better spot.”
