Project 22:22
Every day, we lose 22 veterans to suicide.
A devastating reality that rips families apart and leaves a hole in our communities. But what if we could change that?
Project 22:22 is a commitment to action.
With your support, we can turn that tragic number into a symbol of hope.
Our goal is simple: Help 22 veterans every day
access life-changing, psychedelic-assisted therapy
that saves lives.
Veterans like Nico Roe, whose life was saved through Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS), are proof that healing is possible. VETS is a nonprofit dedicated to helping Veterans access innovative psychedelic-assisted therapies and critical support for healing from the invisible wounds of war. We need your support to continue the fight.
Join us in this mission. Together, we can expand access to psychedelic‑assisted therapy and build a future where no veteran is left behind.
Why 22:22 &
What Does It Mean?
We are both inspired and called to transform the tragedy of the number 22, representing the daily loss of veterans to suicide, into something greater—22:22, a symbol of hope, balance, and purpose.
While 22 marks a sobering reality, 22:22 signifies moving beyond tragedy toward healing, transformation, and a brighter future.
The repetition of 2 in 22:22 highlights duality and the power of community, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, connection and support can lead to renewal. In numerology, 222 is known as an angel number, symbolizing faith and divine reassurance that you are on the right path. It’s a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our struggles, and positive change is imminent through unity and perseverance.
Biblically, Isaiah 22:22 speaks of new opportunities and leadership: “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” Symbolizing the ability to open doors to healing which is the core of this movement.
22:22 is a message of transformation, turning loss into light and forging a path forward filled with meaning, connection, and hope.
We are here to turn tragedies to triumphs.
My friend Nico Roe, with his life back in full color.
Together, We Can Bring Color Back into Their Lives
When my friend Nico shared his experience with VETS and psychedelic-assisted therapy, one thing he said stuck with me:
"The color came back in my life."
That simple statement spoke volumes. As someone who’s always believed in betting on yourself, I knew I had to be part of this mission - to help veterans bet on themselves and reclaim the color in their lives. Let’s make this happen together.
Thank you for standing with me.
