Tell us how you got involved with this
organization?
I am US Navy CPO retired with over 20
years of service. I am a woman veteran who
is driven by a higher power to continue to
walk in those boots. I’ve spent my entire adult
life serving my country and knowing I could
continue that service to a sister in need was an
easy decision to make.
What is the biggest moment that has
stood out in the last year?
The positive and overwhelming response
from the community over the last nine
months has been humbling. This support has
illustrated the willingness of people to remodel,
furnish, and provide financial support for the
“Faith House”, the home that was donated by
an anonymous donor.
Describe The HER Foundation’s
involvement within the community?
As the CEO and founder of HER, churches,
networking groups, and other community
organization have invited us to discuss the
mission and vision to the community. Through
this effort, the community is thinking
about how veteran women contribute to our
country. We are getting people to think that
when you say veteran, not only do you think
man but also think woman.
What are some ways that community
members can contribute, help and get
involved?
“Faith House” has already received, through
community support of churches, businesses,
and private donors, the house, cutting down of
trees, a new roof, security system, landscaping
service, and some furniture. However, other
items still needed include a HVAC system,
windows, flooring, and kitchen cabinets. We
also always need women’s clothing for our
dress for success program and everyday wear.
HER is also in need of partners to help with
daily operational expenses to manage “Faith
House”.
What plans does The HER Foundation
have for the future?
HER plans to continue spreading the word
about the increased needs of our homeless
women veterans. Please note our efforts at
HER for those who are homeless and those
who may become homeless. HER wants to
be the voice for those women veterans lost in
the system when it comes to the Department
Veteran’s Administration.
Does The HER Foundation have any
upcoming events you are involved in?
On August 18, at Sanders Beach, we are
putting on our first “Dining with HER”
gala. Find our event schedule for the later part
of the year on our website www.honorher.

Northwest Florida
Describe a situation working with the
organization that really stood out and
touched you.
The overwhelming response of a “Call to
Action” to the community when we need
help furnishing and remodeling of the Faith
house that was donated to the foundation. It
is important to remember women veterans
are not asking for a “HANDOUT but a
HANDUP”. Our women veterans have
already served this great country at home and
abroad. It’s time for the community to come
to the rescue and let women veterans know we
have their back and we support them.
