Operation Warrior Resolution

Whenendra Simpkins came out of military service in 2010, she was "in a dark place," struggling with addition and feeling lost.

That's when she founded Operation Warrior Resolution, a nonprofit in Sarasota, Fla., that provides veterans with brain-based healing techniques and alternative therapies like yoga, meditation, and equine therapy, per a press release.

Now, with a $25,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, the nonprofit will use the money to support veterans and their family members as they transition out of programs designed to provide holistic mental health services to resolve trauma and promote long-term wellness.

"This funding will be used to support program participants' ongoing needs after participating in the retreats so they can continue to integrate and sustain these changes into their lives moving forward," says the press release.

Over the past few years, Operation Warrior Resolution has helped more than 100 veterans through their retreat program and almost 1,000 veterans and their families through other activities and events in the Sarasota area.

The nonprofit is funded through grants, donations, and fundraisers so everything is at no cost to the veteran and their family.
