Risen Warriors Foundation

Risen Warriors Foundation was founded by a disabled combat veteran to address the unique mental health needs of uniformed heroes. We believe that treating trauma, addiction, and co-occurring mental health conditions requires a comprehensive, well-rounded approach. At Risen Warriors, we provide outpatient integrated care that supports mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Risen Warriors Foundation (RWF) was founded to provide holistic support for active-duty military, veterans, first responders, and their families. Rooted in the belief that healing requires both emotional and physical care, RWF offers comprehensive mental health services, equine therapy, resilience programs, and an innovative fitness program designed to strengthen both body and mind. Our mission is to empower those who have served to overcome trauma, build strength, and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

Risen Warriors Foundation is proud to serve active-duty military, veterans, first responders, and their families throughout Orange County. Through our innovative programs—including mental health services, equine therapy, and resilience training—we are addressing the unique challenges faced by these heroes and their loved ones.

Our work empowers individuals to heal from trauma, build emotional strength, and reconnect with their sense of purpose. By fostering resilience and providing holistic care, we are making a measurable difference in the lives of those who serve our communities and country.

To date, Risen Warriors Foundation has helped numerous warriors and their families overcome obstacles and find hope. With continued support, we aim to expand our reach and deepen our impact, ensuring that no hero is left to face their battles alone.

The Risen Warriors Foundation (RWF) is dedicated to addressing the unmet mental health and wellness needs of our nation’s heroes—veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and their families. Orange County is home to thousands of warriors facing challenges such as PTSD, depression, and reintegration struggles, yet access to holistic care remains limited.

RWF bridges this gap by offering comprehensive mental health services, equine therapy, and resilience training. To expand our reach and impact, we urgently seek funding to support program development, enhance service accessibility, and ensure no warrior or family is left behind. With your support, we can empower our heroes to find healing, strength, and purpose.

Orange County, and Camp Pendleton area.

As a Marine veteran and Purple Heart recipient, I know firsthand the challenges faced by those who have served our country and communities. These challenges often extend beyond the battlefield, impacting not only the individual but also their families. That’s why I founded Risen Warriors Foundation—to provide a sanctuary where our uniformed heroes and their loved ones can find healing, strength, and purpose through faith, compassion, and resilience.

At Risen Warriors, we believe in a holistic approach to care that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Through our integrated mental health services, equine therapy, fitness programs, and resilience training, we address the unique needs of our warriors. Guided by a higher purpose, we aim to empower them to overcome trauma and thrive in every aspect of their lives.

Our mission is not just about healing; it’s about restoring hope and reaffirming faith in their journey. We are committed to ensuring that no warrior or family member walks this path alone. Together, with God’s grace and the support of our community, we can continue to serve those who have given so much in service to us all.
