A stop for food and a drink five years ago, changed the course of an Oshkosh-area veteran’s life. Jorel Wester tells me he planned to commit suicide when a cup stopped him.
MILWAUKEE, Wisc. — A stop for food and a drink five years ago changed the course of U.S. Coast Guard veteran Jorel Wester's life.“I was underwater for a few minutes. That's terrifying when you have to come to the realization that you aren't coming back from this boat ride,” said Wester."The hole got bigger, darker, and harder to get out of. I hit a point where there was no way out of it. I couldn't find the help I was needing.
He got his food and was given a cup that advertised K9s for Warriors. The organization connects service animals to veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder . "It is really scary to tell someone you have a plan. It was really scary for me. But that's what I needed. I needed to hear somebody say, ‘We can help you,’” said Wester.
Wester went to therapy, but he still wasn't sure it would work. He wanted to quit but he says he kept going because he knew he would end back up in the same place, considering suicide.“With Betsy here, she is the lid on the box. She helps me carry around my burden but makes it more manageable,” said Wester.
