What they are saying.

“Warrior Rizen reminded us that there can still be beauty, joy and happiness in the midst of devastation. What some don’t realize is that we lose our hero day after day, it’s a constant loss. Warrior Rizen is a non-profit organization that embraces and supports our Veterans and Gold Star Families. They showered us with pure love and kindness. This organization is God’s word in action. Reaching the wounded and the hurting, the widows and the fatherless.”

“We are so blessed to have been able to be at your paradise for a week. It was so amazing for all of us and it is just what we needed. Thank you for what you do for so many! We will be back soon!”

“War is hell. It can do a lot of things to many different people... fortunately, we can be set at ease through our struggles while we are here. It’s a place we can still come together and continue to talk about our son Miles.”

“A lot of people with PTSD keep themselves busy and try to not focus in on themselves and their problems. This place allows for them to stop fighting that. They can really slow down and repair their souls.”

“Everyone who volunteers is fantastic. I have a whole new group of friends I met here. There is a lot of talent and there’s always someone here to learn from. I’m able to take home what I learn here and add it to my own personal life.”

“I hope I make the benefits of volunteering up here clear — there isn’t a day I leave that someone doesn’t say “thanks.” When in reality I should be the one saying, “no, thank you.””

“I didn’t serve in the military, so really it’s my opportunity to pay it forward. That’s why I commit so much time. Kari and I love it here.”

“I want the greenhouse to be bursting with life and variety for our veterans that visit here... I have such appreciation for these families and just to be able to do anything at all for them, fills my heart.”

“It’s a great place for veterans and active military to rest and recuperate. The land itself brings about recuperation to me while I’m volunteering there.”
