Jon Henri tells his story of living at Chris’ Place, one of New Directions’ five residential homes and the nation’s first transitional home for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Help is available, open your hands and be ready!”
“I have New Directions to thank for putting my life back on track.”
“I have a great deal of gratitude toward New Directions…”
“One thing we weren’t prepared for was the psychological effect of war.”
“My greatest success in life was coming to New Directions.”
“[I] wanted to give back to others, what was so freely given to me.”
“My main priority is to stay sober, love my family…”
“Once I understood the fact that I had a disease, it all made sense.”
“We would not be here if it weren’t for the team at New Directions for Veterans!”
“If I can give back to one other person all that has been given to me – then I will consider my life a success.”
