OUR MISSION
TO END SUICIDE IN VETERANS AND FIRST RESPONDERS.
For too many of our veterans and first responders, traditional PTSD treatments have failed. We are committed to changing that by providing access to safe, medically supported psychedelic therapies that offer life-saving healing potential.
​
But we can't do it alone. Did you know it costs, on average, $11,000 to fund one hero's entire healing journey? That number can seem large, but the truth is, every donation is a critical piece of the puzzle. Each gift, whether it's $25 or $2,500, comes together to create the fund that gives a hero their life back.
​​
Your support, at any level, is the spark that fuels this mission. Please, join us today and help save a life.
From Hope to Healing: The Story of Our First Campaign
Our first-ever community fundraiser, "$11,000 For Hope," is now complete, and the outcome is more powerful than we could have imagined. What started as a mission to fund one hero's journey became a testament to the incredible power of this community.
The Two Journeys You Funded
​
Because of your collective generosity, two individuals will now embark on a critical path to healing. Your donation has directly funded:
​
-
A safe, medically supportive environment where they can disconnect and focus solely on recovery.
-
Intensive, one-on-one specialized care with a team dedicated to treating trauma at its root.
-
Crucial post-retreat group support calls to empower them and ensure their healing is a lasting success.
This is Just The Beginning
​
This victory is a monumental first step, but our mission is far from over. More of our military veterans and first responders are waiting for their chance to heal. Your continued support ensures we are always ready to answer the next call for help and turn hope into action without delay.
THE STATUS QUO FOR THERAPY ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
Veterans and first responders often face lingering effects from exposure to traumatic events, which can take a serious toll on their mental health, personal relationships, and overall ability to lead healthy, productive lives. Traditional treatment methods, including pharmaceuticals, have frequently proven ineffective, leaving many to struggle with depression and, tragically, an alarming rate of suicide. The time for exploration is over. It is time to provide the proven, innovative care our heroes deserve. That is where our mission begins.

PSYCHEDELICS HAVE PROVIDED A PROVEN PATH TO HEALING.
Psychedelic therapy has transformed the lives of many, restoring hope where once there had been none.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy has transformed the lives of many, restoring hope where once there had been none.
​
Yet, a critical gap remains. This life-altering treatment is largely unavailable in Canada and is not covered by government or private insurance. Our heroes are being left behind.
​
Project Life Spark was created to close this gap.
​
Through our Wellness Funding initiatives, we provide the essential resources for veterans and first responders to access these safe, clinically guided therapies in international specialty clinics where they are legal and regulated.
