This heartwarming story is one reason why we support Ben Trainer's organization:
"I am a Viet Nam Veteran, whose story of others is similar. I was diagnosed with Stage IV Throat Cancer in December of 2017. Initially I was NOT going to go through the treatment protocol, ie, Chemo and Radiation. That’s when Ben came into my life through one of my closest friends and confidant, Danny Hanes. Ben was awesome, non judgmental, didn’t pry into my cancer thought process, only talked of great days in USMC and fishing. After two full days of fishing, I was calm enough to collect my thoughts regarding the cancer, the treatment, and most of all, My Family. Ben’s kindness allowed me the time and space to make the final decision to “fight” the cancer. As I departed from Ben, I told him I “would fight” the disease. But know this: I do not think I could have come to that decision without the time of “clarity”. What Ben does is nothing short of a miracle for Veterans in crisis. 15 months later and I am still here, and ever so grateful to Ben Trainer and Danny Hanes. My family, my wife and my life are grateful beyond mere words. Please help support this awesome man and the service he offers to those that have sacrificed so much !!!!" ~John Jamason (contact Ben at 305-570-9424)
