We purchased this house as a sanctuary to come relax and decompress, to try and take our minds off the stress and reality of the things we see from day to day on our jobs. Jeff is also a veteran, he served 5 year in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and has been a fire fighter/paramedic for over 20 years in Jacksonville, FL. He spent 16 yrs on the HazMat Team and has always been on some of the busiest rescues in the city. So as you can imagine time away is extremely important to us.
We want to provide and offer our home to the men and women who currently serve and have served our country in the Armed Forces or in Public Safety and health care. We both truly understand how the stress of these career can have on you.
Over the past few years more firefighters died from suicide than from being killed in the line of duty. Post traumatic stress is REAL and you don't have to be too prideful to ask for help. If you are, find ways to decompress, bring your family to our home and enjoy the time away. Create memories with your children that they will carry with them forever. It is better than any toy or gift you could provide for them.
