FAQ's
Q: What is my donation and support used for? Who does it go to?
A: 100% of your donation goes directly to The Freedom 13 Organization, a 501(c)3 non-profit, and will be used to construct Recreational Retreat Villages for US military veterans. Our goal is to build one in each state across the Country – 50 total.
Each of The Freedom 13 Recreational Camps will be built on 100+ acres of land or larger, consisting of 13 homes, from 1 bedroom efficiency for the single vet to multi-bedroom for vets and the families. Service-Pet friendly, several units will be handicap accessible, and we’ll be using smart technology whenever possible.
Activities will include boating (kayaks/canoes), fishing, swimming, hunting, shooting ranges, side by side trail riding, hiking, basketball, pickleball and other family focused activities.
In the future, we also plan to work with independent, certified third party service providers, covering veteran assist areas such as PTSD counseling & suicide prevention along with service dog placement, etc.
Q: How much does it cost to build a Recreational Village?
A: Our initial estimates put the price tag between $3 million and $4 million dollars.
Q: Who is eligible to stay in the Villages?
A: Any veteran from any branch is welcome to stay for a week with their immediate family as long as the veteran can provide a valid DD214 through the vetting process.
Q: Where is the first Recreational Retreat Village being built?
A. Jared was born and raised in Missouri, so it made perfect sense for us to build the first Recreational Camp in his home state. We have secured our first camp in Bourbon, MO on 171 acres. As of Oct 2024 we have 2 homes already on the property, inground swimming pool, pickleball and basketball courts, hunting, fishing and riding trails.
Once completed, it’ll be a safe place for veterans and their families to take a knee, reboot, meet fellow veterans, spending quality time together, resting and relaxing all while forging new friendships and creating new, positive memories.
Q: Will there be a Village in my state? How can I get involved in bringing one to my state?
A. Our goal is to build one in each state across the Country – 50 total. States that can offer up very usable donated land will take priority.
