From the Publisher
A rainy day in Afghanistan before harrowing events unfolded (2005).
Mighty Oaks Foundation is a faith-based veteran service organization that helps combat veterans struggling with PTSd to overcome their trauma and enjoy life as God intended.
Chad Robichaux realized countless other combat veterans face similar psychological, emotional, and spiritual challenges after returning from service in Afghanistan (causing 20+ suicides a day and staggering divorce rates among military families). Chad wondered, Why doesn’t somebody do something about this? His answer: Why not me? And thus began the Mighty Oaks Foundation.
70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced a traumatic event at least once in their lives & about 8 million have PTSd in a given year. PTSd among veterans of Iraq & Afghanistan is 13.8%.
Be inspired by the incredible story of warrior Chad Robichaux.
A former Force Recon Marine, DoD Contractor, former professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Champion, decorated police officer and author of “Saving Aziz.”
As a combat warrior returning home after 8 deployments to Afghanistan Chad struggled with the aftermath of his war experiences. His marriage seemed over, & suicidal thoughts filled his head as he battled PTSD. He was losing the fight of his life, and all he cared for was at stake. He tried everything but nothing worked. He searched for answers, & his ultimate victory wasn’t as he expected. This is the story of Chad’s life-changing decision to submit every part of himself and his future to God.
