Preview: DOG WALK HOME Reuniting Veterans and Their Families
DOG WALK HOME: A SPECIAL LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTARY IN PROGRESS
OFP is honored to share a powerful work in progress from documentary filmmakers, Vicki Topaz and Wynn Padula. You’ll see interviews and shared stories from our founder and film consultant, Mary Cortani, and three other veterans whose PTSD left them with little hope. Support comes when these three veterans train alongside rescue dogs and together become service teams. These uniquely trained service dogs learn to detect and ease the symptoms of trauma in their handlers, to bring about change.
DOG WALK HOME tells a story of journey and return, of families guided away from the pitfalls of PTSD to a budding sense of hope and finding a “new normal.” Thank you to our clients, Kim, Ramon and Chris, for bravely sharing their stories in service to other veterans trying to find their way home.
December 24, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (still available!)
OFP End-of-Year Giving Platform
As one of the most challenging years in many of our lives comes to a close, Mary reflects on our mission, the new challenges our clients face, and the deep gratitude she has for the supporters who empower OFP to bring hope and resources to the veterans, children and other disabled individuals we serve, especially during these tough times. This will pass, the sun will come out, and we will get through this together.
Join us on our OFP End-of-Year Giving platform here to see Mary’s video.
From our OFP family to your family, we wish you comfort and joy this holiday season!
