A local New Jersey help line is going national in services veterans all around America.  Vets 4 Warriors' assistance by phone, email and live chat focuses on suicide prevention and crisis counseling.  The success of the organization was rewarded with $5 million--making the nationwide service possible.

From the mission statement:

For any issue, at any time, a Veteran is here to help. We all need a helping hand sometimes and Vets4Warriors provide 24/7 confidential peer support, information, and referrals for all National Guard and Reserve service members.

1-855-VET-TALK is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Vets 4 Warriors staff undergoes specialized training to address the particular needs of military personnel in trouble.  Confidentiality is guaranteed. Vets 4 Warriors want no one to "suffer in silence."

Project Cuddle: Pregnancy without Fear

No baby ever has to be abandoned.  Since 1996, Project Cuddle has helped frightened girls and women find solutions and support by empowering the expectant mothers with choices.  Some need advice about telling their parents.  Others need shelter.   The range of care Project Cuddle offers can be as simple as emotional support or as involved as finding adoptive parents.

Ready to listen, volunteers man the 24-hour a day toll free number (888-628-3353) and website.   The Project Cuddle goals focus on the health and safety of the baby while in en utero and following birth.  This 501 (c)(3) nonprofit wants each birth mother proud of the decisions she makes.
