Our founder, Yvonne Coulson, had first-hand experience, caring for her husband who served in the Air Force for 26 years and fought in the Vietnam War. He returned home after being injured in the line of duty, which caused her and her family to embark on new and unfamiliar territory. She, as his primary care-taker, was faced with many challenges trying to find resources, applying for benefits, working with the VA and more. Nevertheless, she and her family stuck together and did what was necessary to provide proper care for her husband. Fortunately, she had a great support system, her family. After his transition, she was determined to be a strong advocate and resource for Veterans and their families. This commitment led to the birth of New Horizon 4 Life (NH4L), a dedication to her husband.

 

     We know Vets, disabled adults and their families are facing many of the same challenges and hardships due to lack of resources and support. NH4L understands that most Veterans arriving home from service may not have a strong support system, limited resources, or a family struggling to care for them because of PTSD or other disabilities. Through our community partners NH4L is able to provide our clients and their family with a reliable support system, advocacy, and resources.
