Andy Khawaja is an award-winning tech entrepreneur who founded Allied Wallet in 2005 and has since built the company to earn distinction as one of the world’s premier online payment processing enterprises. In addition to his professional pursuits, Andy Khawaja is an accomplished philanthropist who supports nonprofits such as Action Innocence, Paralyzed Veterans of America, and Wounded Warrior Project (WWP).

According to the most recent WWP Annual Warrior Survey, 78.2 percent of the veterans served by the nonprofit agency report experiencing PTSD symptoms. These symptoms include trouble sleeping and concentrating, flashbacks of traumatic experiences, emotional numbness, and increased feelings of irritation and aggravation. Despite the number of veterans who experience PTSD symptoms, there is still a stigma surrounding the disorder. In fact, one-third of survey respondents stated they either put off receiving mental health care or didn’t get the care they required.

Beyond the stigma, these respondents cited reasons such as a lack of resources in their respective regions or conflicts in work schedules for not receiving PTSD treatment. Understanding that treatment varies by the individual, WWP offers free programming such as the Warrior Care Network, dedicated phone support, and mental health workshops. Moreover, those who required immediate emergency attention should call the Veterans Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255.

International social media outreach strategies include connecting with people or companies in other countries through posts, comments, and friend requests and hiring social media influencers in other countries as brand ambassadors to publicize the business. Also, writing posts or website content in regional slang and referencing local events or culture can help companies resonate with customers in their target area.
