We are an organization focused on healing veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD, medical issues, and other conditions related to their service. We provide no cost fishing trips to veterans, active duty and first responders in hopes that exposing them to outdoor therapy will give them a positive outlet from their stressors.
Fishing for the Mission 22 is a 501(C)(3) which offers a therapeutic approach to help heal veterans through fishing while raising awareness to the 22+ we continue to lose to suicide every day in the United States. Since the Global War on Terror began in 2001, there have been over 7,000 combat related deaths, and in the same period, there have been over 120,000 Veteran Suicides. This is not only a public health crisis, but unacceptable. Only one percent of our Nation joins the armed forces and it’s the duty of the remaining 99 percent to help our veterans in crisis. The impact of our fishing outings on veterans’ lives is immeasurable. By providing them with a therapeutic and enjoyable experience, we witness firsthand the positive effects it has on their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Many veterans have shared stories of finding solace, camaraderie, and a renewed sense of purpose through our fishing events. We firmly believe that by supporting our cause, you are contributing to the healing journey of our nation’s heroes.
Gallant Heart is the product of the efforts of patriots who originally ran the Wounded Veteran Pheasant Hunt as a stand-alone 501c3 in 2017. Through the incredible support of the local community, we were able to incorporate Gallant Heart in 2019. This has allowed us to provide more services to those who are willing to sacrifice it all for our country and our freedoms. Gallant Heart is a Salem County, NJ-based 501c3 which operates with a voluntary staff of veterans and civilians with the common goal of providing experiences that will ultimately contribute to the overall quality of life for our American heroes.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in south west Michigan; owned and operated by a disabled Marine Corps infantry Veteran. We provide fishing, hunting and camping trips for our Veterans, Active duty service members, First Responders and Gold/Blue Star Families. We believe, by getting our heros back to nature, we can provide an experience that is good for the body, mind and soul. We conduct these trips at no cost to our clients through donations, fundraising and sponsors
Here at High Timber Dreams, we are driven by a single goal; to make dreams come true for Veterans, Active Duty, First Responders and Youth through hunting, fishing and outdoor activities.
Myself being a Veteran and Dehanna being a nurse and firefighter we always found serenity in the outdoors. From mountain hikes, hunting, fishing, foraging, scouting, etc… all seemed to create that inner peace and a more healthy mindset.
We wanted to share by positively impacting the lives of those who selflessly make daily sacrifices. We value the Veterans who protected our Freedoms, Active Duty holding the line, First Responders who respond to our emergencies and Youth who will become our future leaders.
In 2018 we created High Timber Dreams to support the needs of Veterans, Active Duty, First Responders and Youth to support their emotional and mental well-being. Together we can make a positive impact by Making Dreams Come True.

Healing Through the Outdoors is veteran owned and operated and we understand how it is to feel like you are alone or that you have no one to talk to that will understand what you are going through. As a 20 year Navy Veteran with combat deployments, I know what it is like to deal with things that most people could not even imagine. As veterans, our realities are quite different from those that have never seen or experienced what life outside of the freedoms and liberties of the United States is like. As a retired veteran, my goal is to share my passion of the outdoors with others in the hope that it will give them the same peace that I have found by enjoying all that nature has to offer. I enjoy getting veterans and children out for the first time to hunt or fish and see that light in their eyes when they take their first shot or get their first catch. I especially enjoy being able to help those that are disabled to get out and enjoy something that they thought they would never be able to do again. We make every effort to make whatever accommodations need to be made for our clients in order for them to get the full experience and enjoyment from whatever adventure they choose.
Fishing with Warriors is a not‐for‐profit, volunteer run organization, that seeks to help the brave men and women of all branches of the armed forces experience the joy, passion and spirit, of high caliber trophy fishing events and activities at no cost to them
Our amazing Warriors Fishing Adventures are a small way to show our appreciation and let them know personally we have not forgotten them. Our Adventures allows Vets to Connect with other Vets as well as connect to the calm and inspiration of the great outdoors. We know how hard the transition to “normal life” is, but we believe that our nature driven adventures lift the spirits of our Veterans and gives them something to carry home that last a lifetime.
