Our Mission
The Boone Cutler Foundation delivers direct intervention, care coordination, and treatment placement for military veterans and first responders navigating mental health, substance use, and the transition home. We find the warfighter in need, remove the barriers, secure the right care - and stay engaged until they're stable and moving forward.
Boone & Malisa - Our Story
Boone Cutler came home from Sadr City with injuries you could see and injuries you couldn't. The VA's answer was a pile of prescriptions he called zombie dope. What actually brought him back was a battle buddy, a mission, and treatments he had to leave the country to get - with Malisa pushing the wheelchair.
“My wife pushed me to Panama in a wheelchair because I couldn't walk.”
On tape · 0:49I was his caregiver on every piece of documentation for fifteen years. I pushed the wheelchair. I sat through fourteen doctors' appointments to keep one rating. I watched the treatments they said wouldn't work give him his brain back, and I watched the system fight him for trying. He was supposed to carry the sword in the Veterans Parade that fall. He didn't get to. So we carry it now - that's what this Foundation is.
Still Here
Boone is story zero: the trap, the break, what worked, and the mission - told entirely in his own footage.

On tape · 2:18“Why don't we make a sword out of the steel from 9/11? And just the reverence and the importance of that steel would mean so much more to these servicemen and women.”
The pledge is a battle drill: what to do when you don't know what to do. Take it today, and name your battle buddy.
