My name is Catherine DeBlieck. I am the proud mother of Jessiah McAninch the founder who is honoring his veteran brother My Son ❤️Terry DeBlieck, who passed away of pancreatitis shock within 2 1/2 days June 20, 2025 at only 44 years old. In continuing the service, our family has always been touched by in humanity, the morals values, integrity, and character that I have witnessed since my children were young under the safety and guidance of my husband their father, August Blieck, who passed away in 2018 whom no man has surpassed,that we have Been so fortunate to have survived thrived loved and embraced . I am just beside myself to be witnessing my son from concept to reality and less than two weeks filing for creating and carrying out this reality of resources that exemplifies his true passion for humanity since childhood he has always demonstrated. Our family, friends, clients and strangers who have suffered with mental illness or the after life of suicide grief, our hearts wrenching. We always just listened raised funds when we could cooked held hands listened as did they and did the best we could as we just settled at our home and Joshua Tree California.Ive had loved ones friends and family with mental health issues and victimization from having such as as well as the heartbreaking for everlasting grief of Suicide. We have also had the glorious beautiful life of seeing survivors through love and support and not judgment, but strength and encouragement, blossom and survive. I know I at times in my life very early on could not heal because I was pretending I wasn’t hurt. I wouldn’t ask for help. There was a time I wouldn’t cry either. I thought that that was weakness, but I was there for everybody else and I was their best advocate I needed to be strong. I was in penetrable. Many people will seem that way and they’ll say that they don’t need anything. they’re fine. Don’t always ask. Maybe just drop off a vase of flowers on the porch with a card and don’t knock. Don’t ask if they need anything. Just leave soup at the door if you know they’re not eating message them anyway and tell him you’re thinking about him and send a nice quote. I’m not suggesting to stop in unannounced because I wouldn’t particularly care for that when I’m grieving I wouldn’t care for it now there’s some days that I don’t want anybody here every minute every second every hour every day changes for me. I just want people to understand that isolation is so damaging and so without people particularly Veterans that already feel so different than civilians please don’t judge them with mental health issues and people think they’re OK. They don’t take their medication. Please don’t judge them! Additionally, if they don’t take their meds then perhaps they’re taking a drug or drinking don’t judge them! Society doesn’t know what people’s options are! In my career I’ve seen so many lives, shattered women, children, and men because of sexual assault and domestic violence and heinous unspeakable crime scenes. These people have witnessed and I have seen them and they have. SURVIVED. I’ve seen a couple of the follow up stories on television that air even today from the 90s and 2000s and they call themselvesSURVIVORS not victims! I hope that anybody who reads this and know someone or of somebody that has been in some way affected by mental health or suicide they please make a difference and share your story. It just may change somebody’s life today.? together we can all make a difference It could be ANY ONE OF US? 🙏 God Bless America.

Lastly, I’d like to say I know that My grandparents, mama, my sweet Momo, my sweet sis, and my baby boy little Loot are so proud of “ MY SON” and all that he’s doing for ❤️Terry’s brother as he was doing so much for vets getting them signed up to make sure they got their benefits like he did once he finally got his PTSD disability due him! Amen God bless My, son , Hope, Day O for of course keeping Ponch😉 on the right track And particularly to all the partners board members and volunteers helping out with this mission to reduce this number of veterans, let’s make a difference. I can’t wait to see your work! Time for a new normal.
