Lady Veterans Connect

Lady Veterans Connect Honoring Lady Veterans by Providing Hope Homes, & Healing Phyllis Abbott originally operated two organizations, Sheppard's Hands and Lady Vets Connect.

She then made the decision to join the two to become Lady Veterans Connect, a 501(c)(3) organization, after realizing together they made a powerful team. Lady Veterans Connect streamlined the work of both entities into one to provide high quality, comprehensive services to Women Veterans to assist transitional support and prevent homelessness. One by one the team continues to grow, each bringing h

is/her gifts, specialties, ideas, and visions on how to better serve Women Veterans and their families. Under the new organization, the former Trapp Elementary School in Winchester Kentucky, a 22,000 sq ft facility was renovated. Christened Anna's House it is now transitional housing for up to 32 Women Veterans. Work continues with the Women Veterans in the Thurman-Abbott Home in Lexington, KY. Workshops, Expos, and much more are planned to connect and serve our Women Veterans.

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Today, we reflect on the courage, selflessness, and dedication of the men and women who never made it home. Their sacrifice is woven into the freedoms we live with every day, and their memory deserves more than a moment — it deserves our continued gratitude and remembrance.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” — Martin Luther King Jr.

At Lady Veterans Connect, we stand alongside our military and veteran community in honoring the fallen and supporting the families who carry their legacy forward. May we never forget those who gave everything for others.

Please join us this Memorial Day in taking a moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives.
