History

A life was forever changed for Melissa, a military spouse who received a phone call that her husband SSG Jamie Jarboe was wounded by a snipers bullet in Afghanistan.  Jamie fought for his life after being paralyzed from the chest down from a sniper's bullet.  Being bedside to her husband, Melissa saw first hand how budget cuts, short staffed facilities and how post traumatic stress disorder took its toll on their hero and family.  Melissa started researching medical diagnoses, treatments and alternative therapies for her husband—then started the movement #22ADAY to bring awareness to issues and concerns of hundreds of other families facing struggles.
