Tell Us How We Can Help
For centuries, Japanese artisans have repaired broken pottery with lacquer dusted in gold — kintsugi, “golden joinery.” The break isn’t sanded away or hidden. It’s traced in gold and left in plain sight, because the repair is part of the object’s history, not a flaw in it. A mended bowl isn’t worth less than an unbroken one. Often, it’s worth more.
Why It Matters
Limiting the Scars of Veteran Suicide.
The financial consequences of a veteran suicide can begin almost immediately. Funeral costs, cremation expenses, biohazard cleanup, lost household income, and delayed benefits can place a grieving family under tremendous pressure.
Once A Soldier exists to help reduce those immediate financial scars whenever resources are available—and to provide information, guidance, and compassion as families begin facing the emotional scars that can last much longer.
