Hidden Battles Hidden Battles a non-profit organization strives to aid the healthy minds of 1st responders and military personnel suffering from PTSD and suicidal thoughts.

I’m pleased to announce that our October Employee Spotlight is Matthew Krupa. Matt has been a dedicated Case Manager for the Harbor Care Veteran Services Transitional Housing Program for just over 2 years. The majority of his clients reside in BAE Independence Hall in Manchester; however, Matt manages to support additional clients at Buckingham Place in Nashua. During his tenure, Matt has supported an estimated 40 veterans in receiving the support and resources they need to successfully reintegrate into a permanent and stable life.

With a new Program Manager entering the workforce, Matt’s fundamental knowledge of both the program and his clients was invaluable to that transition. It is evident that our Veterans not only value his expertise, but his presence and company as well, fostering a sense of community and empowerment. Matt strives for excellence in his role, continuing to educate himself and seek guidance on the many aspects and unique challenges of being a case manager.

As an army veteran himself, Matt’s unwavering commitment to his clients, peers, and the Harbor Care organization is truly deserving of recognition. Thank you Matt, for everything you do and for making a difference every day!

Excellent purpose. We salute the women veterans of Harbor Care!

Harbor Care will be closed on Monday, October 14, in observance of Indigenous Peoples Day. What is now NH was settled about 12,000 years ago, primarily by the Abenaki people, whose tribes included the Penacook, Winnipesaukee, Pigwacket, and Ossipee. Europeans arrived in the 1600s. Today we honor the history of these early Americans. Learn more at the State of NH Folk Life site: https://zurl.co/pDcC. Painting: Dover, NH.

Last week, we brought together business leaders and Jay Ruais to launch a powerful new initiative to house all veterans in Manchester. Harbor Care President & CEO Henry Och and Mayor Ruais had announced the initiative at the NH Veteran Stand Down event. We’re excited to share that, in just two weeks, four veterans have already been housed! Henry Och remarked, “Our early success in housing four veterans demonstrates the power of effective community collaboration and leadership.” Help ensure that every veteran has a home - DONATE TODAY at www.harborcarenh.org/blog/veteransmanchester.

Harbor Care’s employee spotlight for September is Maria del Socorro Figueroa. As a member of the maintenance team for the past 3 years, Maria has helped keep the Harbor Care Health & Wellness Center at 45 High St. clean and squared away for all our staff and patients.

Maria is a very dedicated person in everything she does. She is always pleasant with our patients and is a great team player, doing everything with a smile, even cleaning big messes without complaint. Her upbeat personality and willingness to help makes her a super special person and a joy to be around. Maria also has a love for plants and her special touch has earned the nickname of “plant lady” at 45 High St. She keeps the upstairs staff cafeteria looking beautiful with many beautiful flowers and plants. If a co-worker’s plant is not doing well or dying, Maria finds a way to give it extra love and care to bring it back to life.

Maria always comes to work with a positive energy and a big smile, even in difficult situations. Her efforts in going above and beyond in keeping the Health & Wellness Center clean and safe is noticed and highly valued by the rest of the Harbor Care team.
