Pushing It Down is making waves across the first responder community—and it’s easy to see why. This raw, deeply emotional memoir tells the story of Keven McNeill, a man who spent years burying childhood trauma that nearly shattered him.

As a first responder, Keven devoted his life to saving others, all while hiding the pain he carried inside. But the weight of his past, combined with the trauma faced on the job, became unbearable. The walls he built to protect himself began to fall, and the darkness he tried to suppress surged back.

In this powerful, heart-wrenching journey, Keven reveals that true strength isn’t about pushing pain down—it’s about confronting it courageously. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a beacon of hope that no matter how broken we feel, healing and renewal are possible.

If you’ve ever battled your own struggles or wondered if healing from your past is within reach, Pushing It Down will inspire and uplift you. It proves that even the deepest wounds can be healed—and that you can rise again.

You may have seen Hope in your newsfeed, on TV, or at community events—a gentle-eyed puppy with a calm presence and a heart full of purpose. But behind the leash is a deeper story of healing, family, and connection.

Step into the paws of a puppy with a purpose in Paws for Hope. Hope isn’t just any dog—she’s training to become a therapy companion for first responders and military veterans. From the moment she’s welcomed into her new home, she feels the quiet weight of unspoken pain. Her handler bears invisible scars, and the family she joins is learning to balance love, healing, and his unwavering mission to help others find their voice. Heartfelt, hopeful, and deeply human, this unforgettable journey reminds us that sometimes the smallest paws leave the biggest prints on our hearts.

As Hope grows, so does her bond with the family that takes her in. She becomes more than a pet—she becomes part of a journey. Side by side, they begin building something life-changing: a peer support team designed to help those who face trauma on the front lines—so they never have to face it alone.

Told with tenderness, raw honesty, and a touch of humor, Paws for Hope is a moving tribute to the power of family—both chosen and biological—and the quiet strength it takes to turn pain into purpose.
