When you donate to veterans through WarriorWOD, your gift funds a six-month PTSD recovery program that measures every Warrior, every month. $1,500 funds one veteran's complete recovery. Veterans pay nothing.
PTSD is one of the most documented risk factors behind that number. Most veteran programs last a few weeks, treat one piece of the problem, and never measure what changed.
WarriorWOD runs six months. Warriors train at a Preferred Partner Gym, work with a nutrition coach, and are matched with a Battle Buddy. Every Warrior is scored monthly on the PCL-5 and the C-SSRS, so donors see exactly what their gift changed.
Pick the path that fits you. Every one of them funds the same measured six-month recovery.

Donors cover the full cost of the six-month program. Veterans pay nothing. This is every dollar of a Warrior's recovery.
"The VA had me on four medications. WarriorWOD gave me a Battle Buddy and a barbell."
Veterans do not distrust treatment. They distrust people who were not there. Battle Buddies are Warriors who completed this program. They are VA S.A.V.E. certified, and they stand beside the next Warrior every week for six months.
