How Just $5 A Month Can Create Life-Changing Impact

“This place transformed my life,” shared a Warrior PATHH alumna, with tears in her eyes as she reflected on her journey.

“I’ve seen dramatic change—not just in my personal life, but in my everyday life. Struggle Well changed my perspective.” – Struggle Well Graduate

Do you know what made this impact possible?

Not a million-dollar grant.
Not a massive corporate sponsor.

It was the steady support of people giving $5, $10, or even $20 a month. This is the power of ordinary people making an extraordinary impact.

Monthly donors are the quiet cavalry behind every life changed here at the Big Red Barn Retreat. Across the country, nonprofits are feeling the squeeze of inflation, lower giving levels, and rising costs. Yet through all the uncertainty, one thing continues to keep hope alive and programs running: Recurring monthly giving.

Giving has been a cornerstone of thriving communities for centuries. From meeting basic needs to solving complex societal challenges to promoting posttraumatic growth, nonprofits transform lives—one person, one family, one community at a time.

And here’s the part most people don’t realize:

You don’t have to give big to make a big difference.

Just $5 a month—less than the cost of a cup of coffee—helps The Big Red Barn Retreat provide life-changing support for veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders battling post-traumatic stress.

The Big Red Barn Retreat is proud to share that our online donation platform now accommodates monthly giving. Over time, these contributions can help us achieve our mission to improve the lives of our heroes, our veterans, our first responders, and our active-duty military personnel across the Carolinas. This turns your budget-friendly donation of $5 into a lifetime of Warrior PATHH, Struggle Well, Tai Chi, Yoga, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, and so much more for those who served our country and communities.  

We cannot accomplish our mission without our donors, supporters, volunteers, and community. We are so thankful to be a part of a robust community, dedicated to serving others.
