My name is Jeremiah Kusel, and I am a veteran who served overseas and retired early due to injury and resulting disability. Tragically, a few years later, I lost my wife in an accident when I was 38, and my children experienced the devastating loss of their mother. Throughout these difficult experiences, I found immense comfort and strength in connecting with others who understood the challenges of loss and grief.

Motivated by my own healing journey, I founded Warriors and Wids Outdoor Adventures to assist others facing similar circumstances.

Our programs aim to provide a sense of community and a shared space for veterans, widowed individuals, or children who have lost a parent (or caregiver) to come together within their own group of peers through outdoor experiences such as hunting, bowling, fishing, camping, golfing, and more. These activities not only promote mental and emotional healing but also foster valuable connections between individuals who understand one another’s struggles.
