From Those We've Served

I am incredibly thankful for the added support that your organization has provided for me and my family. As a single mother of two young boys, I find myself constantly struggling financially with the added responsibilities of childcare services. Your support has made it possible for me to focus on work, home, and kids without the added financial strain. Thank you for alleviating life for me in a very meaningful way.

There’s something empowering about a room full of successful women. We are learning to be one voice; when one woman is successful, we are all successful!

Kathy, CWC Mentor

From Those We've Served

Thank you for focusing your support on female veterans – we are the last group of women to ask for help and support out of all women. We were taught to never to show or admit to any weakness but need to learn self-care and support. This was a very empowering and motivating event.

    Today, marks the 73rd Anniversary of President Tru Today, marks the 73rd Anniversary of President Truman signing the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, enabling women to serve as permanent, regular members of the United States Armed Forces. June 12th is now considered an unofficial Women Veterans Appreciation Day, serving as a reminder that women fought for their right to serve in the United States Military. For years, many women were limited to roles as reservists, volunteers, government employees, or even used alternative methods such as impersonating men to fight for our country. As we reflect on this importance of this day, we are reminded of the nerve and selflessness of the women who blazed the trail so long before our time. Many of the women who served during WWI and WWII were not granted veteran status until long after their service and sadly, many passed before they were officially recognized as veterans. Every day, we honor those who fought for the right to serve, those who served, and the ones who are currently serving our country. As we continue our vital work to enhance the personal and economic wellbeing of women veterans, we hope you will join us by making a donation in honor of this special anniversary! All donations up to $15,000 will be matched by a private donor. https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/honor-their-service . . . . #WomensArmedServicesIntegrationAct #WomenVeteransAppreciationDay #WomenVeteransDay #WomenVeterans #WomanVeteran #FemaleVeterans #FemaleVeteran #Women #WomensEmpowerment #WomenInTheMilitary #WomenInTheAirForce #WomenInTheArmy #WomenInTheCoastGuard #WomenInTheMarineCorps #WomenInTheNavy #MilitaryWomen #Military #Veteran #Veterans #SupportWomen #WomenSupportingWomen #WomenEmpoweringWomen #HonorHerService #EmpowerHerFuture
