2022 Hunters Helping Hunters USA
Assistance Program Annual Report
January, 2023
Two of life’s biggest challenges when a person is in need, is the perceived vulnerability of their situation and the thought of being a burden to others. A considerable barrier to seeking help is a fear of showing vulnerability. Vulnerability is not weakness; I think it’s almost the opposite.
Hunters Helping Hunters USA is here to help our fellow hunters when they have a disruption in life. That disruption is not what should define us. Rather how we respond is what matters. Asking for help from friends, family, and community exemplify courage and strength.
That’s why Hunters Helping Hunters USA was started. A fellow hunter in need had the courage to ask for help, and the hunting community had the determination to provide it.
Hunters Helping Hunters USA is here waiting, yet few people ask for help consistent with our mission.
We help hunters in need of medical assistance and emergency situations. We pay the creditors, not individual people.
Please let us know if you would like to join in on the mission of helping our fellow hunting friends and families. And once again we would like to thank everyone for your continued support.
Total Assistance to date ending 2022: $32,052.16.

2021 Hunters Helping Hunters USA
Assistance Program Annual Report
January, 2022
While going through emails and such last week, I came across a website I had not been on in a while. Helpguide.org had an article on “Dealing With Uncertainty”, and the following statement is copied from their site:
"While we may not wish to acknowledge it, uncertainty is a natural and unavoidable part of life. Very little about our lives is constant or totally certain, and while we have control over many things, we can’t control everything that happens to us. As the coronavirus pandemic demonstrated, life can change very quickly and very unpredictably. One day things may be just fine, the next you’ve suddenly become sick, lost your job, or found yourself struggling to put food on the table or provide for your family."
Looking back at 2021 and now going into 2022, uncertainly is without a doubt, a part of
today’s life. We deal with uncertainty by using available tools. Those tools include
things like social services. One within the hunting community is Hunters Helping
Hunters USA. It has a mission and that’s to help our fellow hunters in their time of need.
The uncertainty of medical emergencies or unexpected deaths and such is where you can
be certain that Hunters Helping Hunters USA will be there for our fellow hunters and
their families. We have been there in past years, and we are ready to help more in these
uncertain times ahead.
And once again we would like to thank everyone for your continued support.
Total Assistance granted for the year - 2021: $2786.74
Total Assistance granted to date January - 2022: $32,052.16

2020 Hunters Helping Hunters USA
Assistance Program Annual Report
January, 2021
"At the end it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It's about what you've given back." ~Denzel Washington
When an event or situation happens, we often ask ourselves, how, why, or what we could have done different. Things happen and sometimes we have no control over those thing, whatever they may be. What we can control, is how we move forward from that point. By leaning forward and taking that first step we are beginning to take control. We are now on a mission or have a goal or a target to get to.
Hunters Helping Hunters USA, has a mission and that's to help our fellow hunters in their time of need. 2020 was no different in our mission even as the world spun into chaos and uncertainty because of the Covid pandemic. Hunters Helping Hunters USA's focus was on making the mission more accessible. The new web site with an easier and more secure access is about to go live after a great deal of input and help from the board members and the expert help and assistance from Terry Pope.
During 2020, HHHUSA was able to help two families with assistance from donations made to Hunters Helping Hunters USA. Assistance awards cannot happen without donations and support from our hunting community. Those donations are making a difference by not only helping with medical bills or whatever, they help lift a burden from those who are dealing with life changing health or medical events. Your donations are lifting them up, and are making them better. Those donations are your way of giving back to your fellow hunters. You are continuing the tradition of the hunter's way of life by providing for others. That's what we do.
And once again we would like to thank everyone for your continued support.
