I am choosing to be vulnerable today. Sometimes I forget or overlook celebrating the wins and the awards, and I move on to the next empowerment workshop and the next veteran, family, or community member needing a listening heart with non-judgment and compassion, cultivating a solution together for what they need. Whether itโs a lunch, a workshop, or connecting to healthcare and financial resources, that is my focus.
Today, I celebrate and also hope you can contribute to saving the lives of veterans, their families, and the community that uplifts them.
In July, Women Veterans Empowered & Thriving needs funding for our upcoming, ongoing, free to veterans and their families, 8 empowerment workshops a month. This is part-time employment for military veteran facilitators, and the evidence-based, life-saving reintegration program WVE&T provides every month, 8 times a month.
Isolation leads to su***de, addiction, depression, incarceration, and disconnection. Supporting veterans is an action, an action of contribution. Please contribute below so we can continue our life-saving program, our program that provides more than surviving; it is the path to thrive.
