โMore smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.โ - Roy T. Bennett,
โAlthough toxic exposure affects individuals indiscriminately, the armyโs traditionally male-oriented focus has tended to overlook how it impacts servicewomen, their specific health concerns and the difficulties they encounter in accessing their rightful benefits. โ
Millions of troops and their families stationed on contaminated military land were exposed to toxins responsible for fatal illnesses.
As 2022 comes to an end, we want to take a moment to thank you for all your kindness and support. Your frequent donations helped us give homeless women veterans and women veterans facing homelessness a new start. To this day, we have served over 8000 women veterans across 50 States and Territories; none of which would be possible without your generosity.
We humbly request your continued support with an End-of-Year donation in helping us meet our goal of raising $5,000 today to help many more women warriors in need.
It cost only $25 daily to provide a homeless woman veteran and her child with safe and suitable housing; every gift counts.
You can donate via our QR Code, Facebook or directly via our site at www.finalsaluteinc.org
"Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding more time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values."โThomas S. Monson
โDepression during the holiday season is a very real thing. Though the holidays are thought of as a time of sharing, family, and celebration, for many individuals, the holidays can be emotionally exhausting.
Holiday depression and stress from November through New Yearโs can bring back painful memories, reminders of feeling alone, not to mention the rest of the typical holiday rigmarole.โ
Also, remember asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do. โค๏ธ๐บ๐ธ
