I reached out to Soldier On as at that point, I was behind on rent, and about to lose my home. I was not seeing my children a lot which combined, caused a great deal of depression. On top of everything, I was unemployed which increased my feelings of depression.
-
Soldier On was able to come in and help me with my back rent. Following the back rent, Soldier On was able to link me with a program that helps Veteran’s with their rent for a period of time. Because of this help, I was able to reduce my stress, find a job working at a very prestigious school, RIT, and began working on my AI project I called Insight Solutions. My project has gained attention by the government, a school in Texas which has offered, and I accepted a job, as well as a school in Atlanta that has hired me part time. I am currently debt free and have a portion of every check sent directly to a savings account and a 401k I started.
-
I created an AI program that is to help Veteran’s with their thinking. The program was created to learn their patterns of language and alter it. This program is designed to help people who are depressed. The idea is to teach the Veteran’s a new way of speaking which in turn will create a happier person.
