Our Vision
Range time for "Pew-pew aromatherapy"
A partnership has been formed with the local animal shelters to match the veterans with older dogs and cats that are the least likely to get adopted. Matching an animal with a veteran will not only give them companionship, but it will give the veteran a responsibility/purpose and give the animal a loving home for the time it has left.
STARS-igy6 will also be involved in community outreach programs to help the veterans start networking in the civilian population. The container homes will be painted with murals by local high school/college art classes.
The veterans at STARS-igy6 will still have a “family unit” and a like-minded community within the property. There will be duty rosters and responsibilities that will be upheld. Furthermore, they must make an effort to further their education and/or search for employment. The health and well-being of the veteran will always be the number one priority, but they will be required to be active in whatever treatment is recommended.
A property of 60+ acres will be purchased. On that property, there will be a main building that includes reception area, office, conference/classroom, dining hall, industrial size kitchen, computer room/library, home theater, and a large game room. Behind the main building will be a medium sized gym and two guesthouses. An automotive shop and woodworking shop will be added when able. Further back on the property, there will be individual small container homes, similar to a tiny home. Each veteran will have their own home and privacy. In time, there will be a swimming pool, greenhouse, livestock barn, and shooting range added to the property.

Anyone who gives to STARS-igy6, whether it be time, money, or a small seed, will have a dog tag made up with their name on it. The dog tags will be hung on a wall in the main building in the shape of a star. Every small contribution matters. That is why, whether you donate $100K or a hammer, they are all of the same importance and will all receive a dog tag and will be part of artwork in the main building.
