She's right in her belief that the power of stories can change hearts and minds. She's been doing it all along for the families we serve. Our #EFMPGrant came from stories, stories she shared to secure funding. Our Legislative wins came from stories, stories she shared to prove what our families tell us. Thank you, Warrior Rising

There are moments in your life that will stay with you forever. For me- This photo, this week was one. I've spent years, begging for people to listen, I've always said, and still live by the saying "I believe in the power of stories to change hearts and minds." The hardest part has always been getting a seat at the table or having a door opened to share those stories. Thanks to the incredible team at Warrior Rising, I was given the opportunity to share our story and why I created Exceptional Families of the Military with their amazing panel of judges, our community, and then those attending the Military Influencer Conference, as people came to share that those judges had shared our story with them. If you're a military entrepreneur unsure where to start find them, sign up for Warrior Academy and be ready for a ride. #entrepreneur #EFMP #EFMVoice #EFMPFamily #MIC24 #MIC2024 #MilitaryInfluencer #BusinessShower #PitchCompetition

We are thrilled to announce that we are launching a grant program for families to help with the cost of a meal on the day of an appointment, parking fees at the hospital, and/or gas to get to and from the hospital. We aim to make this process easy for families to apply and to lighten the financial burden EFMP families are facing that are creating barriers to stress-free care. The application for this program is linked on our website for families at: https://lnkd.in/dyWd9SGE A special thank you to our sponsors: Fort Myer Thrift Shop, HURLBURT SPOUSES CLUB, Submarine Officers’ Spouses’ Charity Association, and the Chief Petty Officers’ Spouses for generously providing funds to our families! #EFMP #efmpgrant #foodinsecurity #medicalparking #familygrant #disability #disabilitygrant #disability
