WELCOME TO
MISSION VIGILANT - FOR THE 22

WHO WE ARE

My name is Susan Cleland

and this is my story...

My firstborn and my oldest son, Michael, dealt with mental health issues. As a veteran of the Air Force, he worked on search and rescue planes. He was a devout Christian, he loved fiercely, but he suffered silently through dark times with anger issues, which ultimately cost him his life. In the summer of 2019, Michael died by suicide. No one ever knew his struggles were so deep.

My prayer is simple. If we can help save even just one family from this heartache, I pray that the Lord gives us the strength and the courage to stand and make a difference. God gives us so much grace and He NEVER stops loving us. Through his grace, we shall see the light again.

We made a decision as a family to start this non-profit and ALL of us want to do everything we can to help.

In Loving Memory of Michael

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see”

Mark Twain

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Ephesians 6:13

"The look on the clients face when we've been able to tell them that their counseling has been provided for and the visible sigh of relief they give is the best part."

Tyler Stacy, LPC
