In June, Winged Foot Title raised $400 for the Children’s Home Society of Florida. What a great cause! This month, a member of our team and a veteran herself recommended that we do something for the Florida Veterans Foundation. A portion of this month’s revenue will go directly to the Foundation.
A “Direct Support Organization” of the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs, “[t]he FVF serves, supports, and advocates for Florida veterans to improve their well being.” Here’s a great example of what the Foundation does from its website:
“I sometimes stayed in my car with my girls.”
“ I came here with my three girls, I had served in the Air Force and due to economic hardship I found myself staying from place to place and sometimes stayed in my car with my girls. I came here to the Stand Down with the goal of getting a place. I can’t keep jumping from place to place I need a home for me and my babies. The oldest is now 12 and she needs a stable home. My two younger ones also need a place to call their home. I’m so blessed that I came and have met so many wonderful people that have helped me and my girls. They have really made me feel at home and have worked with me to get a place. I know that things will start turning around for me once I get into a stable place. Thank you Stand Down personnel for giving me an opportunity.”
Wanda Jones, US Air Force Veteran
