Butler Rescue Hands, Inc

Butler Rescue Hands, Inc Each veteran has served this country with courage and commitment, so it is only fitting to provide Now, Butler Rescue Hands, Inc.

Our founder, Garrett Butler, started Butler Rescue Hands, Inc. when he saw the increasing need for non-medical home care and resources for veterans. As a veteran himself, he made sure to keep his promise to his fellow veterans, "helping others find their way home" by opening an organization to cater to the veterans. is committed to giving back to our veterans needing the care they deserve and some

times need to be made aware of how to obtain them. We make sure to partner and familiarize our team with different resources to cater to the needs of each veteran as much as we can. However, as a non-government organization, we may need more resources to fuel our passion for serving. Even so, this does not stop us from supporting veterans at risk of homelessness or needing a home where they can receive care. We seek to help one veteran at a time to improve the quality of their life and live a fulfilling life in the comfort of their own home, and for those that need a place they can call their own, we assist them with housing alternatives.

Independence Looks Different for Everyone

Independence does NOT mean doing everything alone.

Sometimes independence means:

✔ Learning to prepare a meal
✔ Going grocery shopping with support
✔ Practicing money-management skills
✔ Learning a new bus route
✔ Going to work
✔ Making your own choices
✔ Participating in your community
✔ Building confidence one skill at a time

At Butler Rescue Hands, our goal isn't to take over.

Our goal is to provide the right support so each person can do MORE for themselves.

That is person-centered support.

Independence Looks Different for Everyone

There Is No One Definition of Independence

For one person, independence may mean getting a driver's license.

For another, it may mean preparing breakfast safely.

For someone else, it may mean making a phone call independently.

Independence isn't about doing everything alone.

It's about having the confidence, skills, and support to make choices and reach personal goals.

Every journey is unique, and every achievement matters.
