Supply Crate – Dustin

Army Veterans Dustin and his wife requested a Supply Crate because their kids have been enjoying gaming at church and they haven't been able to get a new console for them to enjoy at home.

My wife and I are both veterans. We met just weeks before our MP unit deployed to Afghanistan in 2012. Since coming home we were married in 2014 and had our first child, Stella(8), in 2016. Since then we’ve added Aria(6), and Gavin(4). Our journey together has had various ups and down. We’ve utilized our local Vet Centers for both individual and couples counseling in isolated as well as group settings. We’ve both undergone EMDR treatments in order to assist with PTSD/depression/anxiety. We’ve had the ability to get our kids involved in church which has been great for everyone. Occasionally they’ll have access to a game room where the olders were introduced to the Nintendo Switch. They’ve all routinely told us how amazing it is as well as asking when we’d have one at home.

Video games make for pretty great family time. Especially a Nintendo Switch. Families can play a variety of fun multiplayer games perfect for any age. We hope that with this console, Dustin, his wife and his kids can all have a great time together and take their minds off of the struggles with their mental health and just have fun.

Hi!

I can't thank you enough! Not pictured are the gappy kiddos. My 5 year old just started shouting, "we got Mario kart!"

Thank you so much!

May you have many hours of Mario Kart and more in the future, Dustin.
