oh that sounds quite interesting. Do you anticipate this giving you any kind of sense of purpose or additional confidence?

I have been vounteering for an organization that supports veterans in crisis. A great portion of the money raised goes to helping homeless veterans or those in transition between military and civilian life. Most of these service men and women have accompanying mental health and addictions issues (I will suggest the addictions stem from trying to self-medicate). I do feel a sense of purpose helping to raise funds for this.
