How we help
-
Awareness For Blast-Related TBI
Many blast injuries are invisible, misunderstood, or overlooked. Blastology raises awareness for the long-term effects of blast exposure and the veterans living with them.
-
Funding Treatment Access
Donor support helps fund advanced treatment for veterans with blast-related TBI, helping remove financial barriers to care and recovery.
-
Purple Heart Recognition
Too many veterans affected by blast exposure never received proper recognition. Blastology supports efforts to close the gap between injury, documentation, and honor.
Veteran Impact Story
A Chance To Feel Like Himself Again
“Before treatment, I was dealing with headaches, anxiety, focus issues, and the strain it put on my family. After Blastology helped me access treatment, I felt clearer, calmer, and closer to normal than I’d felt since the blast.”

led by people who understand the mission
There is only one Blastologist. Josh has seen blast exposure up close, on real missions, with real consequences.
Blastology Foundation is led by people who are tired of seeing injured service members left in an endless loop of appointments, therapies, providers, and medications while the underlying brain injury is treated like something vague or invisible.
Blast-related TBI is physical. It is not the same as PTSD or moral injury. At least 28,000 soldiers have been treated for a TBI, yet only 1,300 have received a Purple Heart for those injuries.
We believe injured service members deserve access to serious treatment aimed at restoring function, not just managing symptoms.
We are here to change that.
