WarHawk Service Dogs Saving Lives on Recovery Now with Kim Justus

Kevin “WarHawk” Doncaster is a United States Marine Veteran.  He served in Iraq and Afghanistan and has a combined 14 years in service to his country as both a Marine, and Department of Defense Contractor.  During those 14 years, he spent 3 years in Iraq and 4 years in Afghanistan.  Kevin sustained multiple injuries as a result of his service in the Middle East.  After coming home for good, Kevin was searching for answers and help for the struggles associated with exposure to war.  While he made it home safely, his mind remained at War.  Kevin was gifted a fully trained Australian Shepherd as a PTSD service dog.  Two weeks following that special day, a friend died by suicide.  Kevin called the same provider and asked one question… “How do I do what you did for me, for a lot of people?”  Kevin decided to take the adversity, and turn it in to action.  WarHawk PTSD Service Dogs was born, and since that time, they have delivered 45 dogs to 18 states.  Kevin has ambition to deliver to all 50 states, and his current mission is taking him to New Zealand to deliver a dog to a unit there that served alongside the coalition forces and America in our times of need, combating global terrorism.

This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. This is a "we" recovery program, because it's in the "we," that we find the new "me."

We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers, which takes a good bit of Warrior!
