Battleworn Foundation · 501(c)(3)z
A veteran takes his own life. Add the first responders we don’t count, and the war back home is louder than the one overseas.
We cover the men who covered us — so they can lay down what they were never meant to carry alone, and walk back into their families surrendered to Christ.
We fully fund military veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders to attend the five-day Convergence Program — where men lay down the weight they were never meant to carry, and pick up the only Name worth carrying.
The man you see at the kitchen table is not the man his wife married. He is still kicking down doors in his sleep, still running radio traffic from a call he didn’t save, still carrying every name he was told to forget.
We are not a counseling app. We are not another program. We are brothers who walk into the dark with him, point him toward the only Man who has been there already, and refuse to leave until something has been buried and something has been raised.

— Nehemiah 4:14No co-pay. No catch. Every dollar a donor gives covers a man who would never spend it on himself.
A wife, a chaplain, a unit brother, a chief — someone who knows him puts his name in. We vet, we listen, we make sure he is ready to be met.
Donors stand in the gap. The cost is paid before he ever sees a number. He shows up with nothing in his hand but his own story.
Five days in the field. Scripture, surrender, sweat, and the kind of conversation he has not had since the war — or maybe ever.
He walks back into his home a different husband, a different father, a different brother. Battle Brothers stay in formation for life.
“I came in carrying men I couldn’t save. I left carrying a Name that already saved me.”
Choose where you stand in the line.
You stand watch. Monthly partnership that builds the bench, fuels the prayer wall, and keeps the lights on for the next brother through the door.
You raise the shield. A year of Shield Bearing covers two-fifths of one warrior’s Convergence — and joins you to a brotherhood of donors who refuse to look away.
You cover one warrior, in full. From identification to Convergence to the year of Covering that follows. One name. One life. One family rebuilt.
You carry the banner. Cover a cohort, fund a region, or partner as a church, business, or foundation to send four or more men through with aftercare in full.
A living roll of the brothers who have walked through. Identities protected. Testimony honored.
Quotes shown are illustrative placeholders. Real entries seal in after the first cohort.
Your gift attaches to a man already in the vetting line. We send you his Covering Card — first name only, where he serves, what he is walking into.
You receive a quiet, private invitation to pray over him by name in the days before he leaves for Convergence. No marketing email. No ask.
After Convergence, a handwritten or recorded message from him reaches you. Sometimes one sentence. Sometimes a tear-stained page. Always real.
For twelve months you remain his Covering — receiving milestone updates, anniversary check-ins, and an invitation to the field every spring.
$6,000 covers one warrior, end-to-end. Any gift, of any size, lands.
We fully fund military veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders to attend the Convergence Program. Christ-centered. Donor-covered. Brother-kept.
"Greater love has no one than this..."
