The Aerial, BVI is a private island resort located in the British Virgin Islands, owned by Aerial Recovery Founder Britnie Turner.

Outside of being an all-inclusive resort for vacationing, the island is used as a healing space for the Heal the Heroes Initiative. Each year, The Aerial, BVI partners with Aerial Recovery to host, at no cost to them, ~100 veterans and first responders to find their center, heal, and discover their purpose.

The Aerial, BVI has also partnered with Aerial Recovery through the island’s Redemption Ranch. Redemption Ranch is home to over 20 horses, zebras, and ponies that have all been rescued and brought to Redemption Ranch for their own healing journey. All of the animals are sponsored through Aerial Recovery and are used in healing therapies during the Heal the Heroes retreats.

Finally, The Aerial, BVI’s gift shop on the island, The Giving Shop, donates the proceeds from all of their sales to Aerial Recovery initiatives including Heal the Heroes, Disaster Relief, and Anti-Human Trafficking.

“To date, GEM has supported missions in 28 countries, all 50 US states, and territories including the Caribbean. The organizations complete 360 degree response results in having a long-lasting institutional impact.” Source: Global Empowerment Mission (GEM)

By working with GEM we have been able to send hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of emergency aid to some of the hardest hit areas following natural disasters.

GEM and Aerial Recovery operate closely together following natural disasters to deploy emergency aid as well as plan for long-term recovery of these areas.
