Monthly Giving Funded the Veteran PTSD Recovery That Brought Her Back.

Six months. A gym, a nutrition coach, and a Battle Buddy who had been where he was. Today she mentors the next Warrior Class through their recovery. Monthly donors funded every week of it.

“The workout was the door. My Battle Buddy was the reason I walked back through it.”

Why monthly
Recovery Runs Six Months. Monthly Giving Funds Veteran PTSD Recovery Without Gaps.

A one-time gift funds a moment. A monthly gift funds a program that cannot pause. Every Warrior Class runs a full six months of coaching, gym access, nutrition support, and a Battle Buddy. For that reason, recurring gifts let us say yes to a veteran on the phone before the funding for their class is fully raised.

Funding we can count on

Recurring gifts let us plan classes, staff, and gym partnerships months ahead instead of quarter to quarter.

More reaches Warriors

redictable revenue means more classes in more states without enrollment gaps. The program ran in 38 states in 2025. Monthly giving makes that scale possible.

Why Monthly Donors Give

Hear directly from donors about what drives their monthly commitment to veteran recovery.

“I’m a veteran myself. Twelve years in, two deployments, and I know what it feels like to come home and not recognize yourself. I can’t mentor every guy who needs it. But I can write a check and know someone else is showing up for them.”

Marcus T.
Monthly Donor since 2021

“I lost a friend to suicide two years after he got home. He never asked for help and none of us knew how to offer it. I give every month because I want the next guy to have something to grab onto when he’s ready.”

Jennifer M.

“My son served four years and came back different. Not broken, just different, and we didn’t know how to reach him. He found WarriorWOD before we did. Watching him graduate was the first time I breathed easy in years. Fifty dollars a month is nothing compared to that.”

Patricia W.
Monthly Donor since 2023

“I run a small business. I’ve tried bigger charities and honestly could never tell if the money actually did anything. WarriorWOD sends me a report every quarter. I know the cohort. I know the outcomes. That’s why I’ve stayed for three years.”
