Testimonial: My late husband was a disabled Army combat veteran and had severe PTS among other things. The PTS affected his life, the lives of those close to him and ultimately was the reason he lost his life. He was part of the WNY Heroes Pawsitive for Heroes program and frequently took part in the peer to peer group outings. PTS took so much away from Terrance every day, whether it was not wanting to get out of bed, getting anxious just being around others, especially large groups of people, being afraid to let anyone into his life because of how many close friends he had lost. Trying to push away those who became close with him, because he couldn’t handle the pain of losing another person he was close to. He was always on guard, would have nightmares almost every night, waking up in a panic, self medicating with alcohol trying to numb the pain of memories just to start. PTS has taken so much from so many veterans. Terrance and our dog Chipper were accepted into the Pawsitive for Heroes program and began training. Shortly after training began I could see the difference. Chipper was always by Terrance’s side he was there to calm him down when Terrance would start getting anxious, when we would go places Chipper was always on lookout so Terrance could relax a little and let his guard down. Although nothing can take away PTS having Chipper as his service dog gave him back some of the freedom that PTS took away. I am so grateful for everything WNY Heroes did for my husband and continues to do for my family. They are so much more than just another organization. They truly are family.
