Project 22:22
Every day, we lose 22 veterans to suicide. A devastating reality that rips families apart and leaves a hole in our community. But what if we could change that?
Project 22:22 is more than a campaign - it's 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 VETS, are proof that healing is possible. We need your support to continue the fight.
Join us. Donate now. Together, we can turn tragedy into triumph, helping 22 veterans each day reclaim their lives and rebuild their families.
Why 22:22 and 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 and our painful present, 22:22 signifies moving beyond tragedy toward healing, transformation, and a brighter future.
The repetition of 2 in 22:22 highlights duality, partnerships, 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, balance, and divine reassurance that you are on the right path. It’s a powerful reminder to all of us that we are not alone in our struggles, and that 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.” This symbolizes the ability to open doors to healing, purpose, and a brighter future which is the core of this movement.
22:22 is more than a number, and the symbolism is more than coincidence. It’s 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, with his life back in full color.
Join Me in Bringing Color Back to 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.
