Big news from Courage to Call! ❤️

Just when it seemed our journey might be coming to an end, a generous donor stepped forward and made it possible for us to continue serving San Diego’s military and veteran community for another year.

Because of this support, we can continue providing resources, peer support, food assistance, support groups, community events, and connections to services for active duty service members, veterans, reservists, National Guard members, and their families.

Today was a meaningful day with our Military Kids Club at Steele Canyon High School 💙

We spent time with some incredible students sharing updates about what’s ahead for Courage to Call. These are not easy conversations, especially with a group that has built such a strong sense of connection and support with one another.

Delilah showed up with so much care, honesty, and compassion. She created space for the students to ask questions, share how they feel, and process everything together. Moments like this remind us just how impactful this program has been. It is more than resources. It is community, trust, and a place where these students feel seen.

We are so proud of these young people. Their strength, their support for one another, and the way they show up does not change.

While there is uncertainty ahead, we are continuing to do everything we can behind the scenes to keep showing up for our military community here in San Diego. This work matters. The people we serve matter.

Thank you, Delilah, for leading with heart today. And to our students, we are with you every step of the way 💛
