May 9, 2025 - 11:28
Stephen Machuga, a veteran and founder of a nonprofit organization, emphasizes the positive impact of gaming on mental health for veterans. Having been an avid gamer throughout his life, Machuga discovered that engaging in video games provided him with a much-needed escape during his time in the military. This realization led him to establish a platform dedicated to supporting veterans facing mental health challenges.
The nonprofit aims to create a community where veterans can connect through gaming, fostering camaraderie and understanding among those who share similar experiences. By organizing gaming events and tournaments, the organization not only promotes social interaction but also provides a safe space for veterans to express themselves and seek help if needed.
Machuga believes that gaming can be a powerful tool for healing, offering an avenue for relaxation and stress relief. As the initiative grows, it continues to attract more veterans, helping them find solace and support through the shared joy of gaming.
