Ursuline’s Annual Appeal

Like so many young Americans, when David was called to serve his country during the Vietnam War, he went. He left that Southeast Asian nation in 1972, but the war never really left him.  David returned home with memories of death and other horrors so troubling that even today, this 71-year-old American hero is tormented by nightmares, night sweats and frequent bouts of deliberating depression.

Whether you have come to know our organization through Ursuline Senior Services or the Good Grief Center for Bereavement Support, you likely are aware that ever since we merged our two agencies in 2011, we have been in a state of transition as we seek to determine how we might work together to better serve those who come to us for help.
