With 17 veterans committing suicide every day, your monthly gift of $17 can be a lifeline.

The veteran suicide rate is 72% higher than the national average. We need your help to change that.

Military suicide has claimed more lives than we’ve lost in major conflicts like World War I, the Vietnam War, and the Global War on Terror.

Stop Soldier Suicide is the only national nonprofit focused solely on solving the issue of suicide among U.S. veterans and service members. We have an aggressive goal to reduce the military suicide rate by 40% no later than 2030. Together, we can create a new future where suicide is no longer an expected outcome of the military experience.

I give monthly because this mission to help our brothers and sisters is essential! We must do more, love each other more and care for each other more. We must work to build up resources, support systems and every dollar is crucial to provide services for those in need.

For nearly 15 years, I've faced the challenges associated with PTSD and TBI. My hope is that my story reaches at least one other Veteran on the edge. I want them to know that there is someone ready to show up for them right now.

I found SSS after listening to a veteran and public speaker who mentioned the problem of soldier suicide and challenged us to do something about it. I went to your website and liked what I read. I don’t know what people really need, but I suppose more than anything, they need to know that someone cares.
