The Hometown Heroes Campaign

HELP FINDING THE DOOR YOU’RE LOOKING FOR

Write to us. Within three business days a real person replies and points you toward organizations and programs worth contacting, including ones that don’t depend on VA eligibility.

If you are in crisis

Please don't use the form on this page.

Call 988 and press 1, or text 838255. The Veterans Crisis Line is staffed 24 hours a day by people who understand.

You do not have to be enrolled in VA care to use it.

Hometown Heroes is small on purpose. We are not a charity and we are not clinicians. We are a game studio with a community full of people who served, and we do one thing: help someone find the door they are looking for.

Who that covers: combat veterans and people who never deployed. Career soldiers and people whose service ended early. Those with VA coverage and those who never qualified for it — entry-level separations, uncharacterized discharges, general discharges, other-than-honorable discharges, Guard service that never triggered eligibility.

Some of those people get plenty of support and some get none at all.

Where the line is.

We are not able to help where service ended in a dishonorable discharge or a bad conduct discharge.

If you are not sure what your discharge was, write to us anyway.

WHAT WE DO

  • Within three business days, a real person replies — not an auto-response, and not a link dump
  • You get the names of organizations and programs worth contacting, including ones that don’t depend on VA eligibility
  • Anything to do with benefits, eligibility or a claim belongs with an accredited Veterans Service Officer rather than with us. We will point you toward one. Their help is free

WHAT WE CAN'T

  • We can't promise an outcome. Every situation is different and some are beyond what we can reach
  • We don't advise on benefits, claims or discharge upgrades, and we don't represent anyone. That work belongs to accredited representatives
  • We are not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and we never charge anyone for anything

IF YOU SERVED AND THINGS ARE HARD RIGHT NOW, WRITE TO US

You don't need to explain yourself or prove anything. One message is enough. Someone reads every one.

Before you write, two things:

This inbox is checked during business hours and is not an emergency service. We reply within three business days.

What you send is read by one person and is never shared, sold or published.

TELL US WHO YOUR HERO IS

Record 30 to 45 seconds about someone who held you up when it counted, and what they did. A few of these will appear in the single player campaign of Sins of the Broken, in the finished game, in your own words.

The people this campaign exists for usually get talked about rather than listened to. This is somewhere to say it out loud.
