Hey there fellow battle buddies , My name is Mike Painter and my lovely wife’s name is Liz . We First met Ms Keri about 1-2 years ago, when we were just fresh out of the Service and boy was I having a very tough time. Just had a big move from my last unit to Ft worth , living in a hotel , just had a big accident totaled my vehicle.. you name it . I reached out to her and she worked diligently to assist my family in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Since day one I saw the passion in her eyes from helping and spreading knowledge about programs and such to help with our injuries. I can honestly say that because of her I now have life long friends there at valor ranch and thanks to her even Roll call. Her and her husband are truly amazing people. I love Ms Keri the ranch is awesome and the work she does will impact Sheros for centuries to come. My children always have such a great time out at the ranch! They love meeting new the additions lol. We miss ya guys Ms Keri. God Bless and Happy Holidays !
I got to visit Valor ranch when they first started. I met with my then business partner. We appreciated the vision and connected with the founder while getting the grand tour. The homes were immaculate and cozy. We know that the lady Veterans appreciate a safe and loving environment for which you grow.
I'm a homeless female vet living in my car in the DFW area and this ranch and its loving owners are the only people who stepped up in my immediate time of need. I was calling 20-30 shelters and organizations a day, and this place is the only place that answered my call and prayers. I cannot speak of this ranch highly enough. Amazing accommodations, just the most adorable farm animals to visit, and a truly passionate team just pouring out love and support to our underrepresented group in need.
Kerri and the staff at Valor Ranch are an amazing group of dedicated people. They truly care about the veterans they serve. I recommend Valor Ranch!
Liz and I first met Ms Keri and her awesome Husband when we moved near here after we totaled our vehicle and got into a bad accident. We met at her job and slowly we became friends , next thing you know we are attending luncheons and dinners with her at roll call! ;) I really enjoyed going to roll call and I miss it. If it wasn’t for her I would never have known we have a support channel and program established just for us. We went to the ranch a few times and we got to spend time with the horses and just hang out & get to know each other. I met her before the houses were put up and man I have to honestly say. Ms Keri is one of the most sincere and considerate people I have ever met. Her love and compassion for others truly is second to none. She values the health and well being of Veterans and our families so so much that she made homes for homeless women veterans right by her OWN HOME and place of comfort. This speaks volumes of her her husband and their commitment to the heroes of this nation that helped make it what it is today the land of the free because of OUR BRAVE!
I pray to our GREAT HEAVENLY SAVIOR That Ms Keri, her family, and the Homeless Heroes regaining their sense of independence, health , and remain healthy, blessed , and a hedge of protection is placed around the entire RANCH. May HE Always shine light upon those in the darkness and lead them to HIM
Mr and Mrs. Valor ranch We thank you for all that you have done , still do, and will do for our forgotten battle buddies out there.
I’d love to volunteer ANY TIME with ANYTHING for you Ma’am .
Much love from mine to yours!

The Painter Fam Bam
Happy New Year Mr and Mrs Wilcox
When I get to the top I’m taking you two with me. Love you guys
Our organization has been donating to Valor Ranch since they opened in 2020. The work they do to support female veterans is crucial as they assist them from military to civilian life.
I believe that female veterans are the often overlooked minority of those coming home and yet we cant gift them a new life or tell them how to run it. What Valor Ranch does is give these vets the opportunity to earn a right to a new life by working in serious ranch work. (Those of us that grew up in that kind of environment know just how hard that labor can be). I believe these SHEROES deserve the right to earn their way to a new life and I feel VAlor Ranch provides turnkey support to this process. I am a donor and every week when I see what the ranch is doing or read about what some of these ladies have endured, it makes me want to give again. I would love it if all that could afford it would join me in financial support for this charity
Valor Ranch is a safe place for "ALL." Men, women, and children of all ages. Striving to create an environment for everyone who enters as a stranger will return as part of the Tribe.
If you are searching for a place to volunteer time or resources', reachout to Valor Ranch.
If you need assistance Valor Ranch can help you get connected.
Together, we can do more than we can alone!
Valor Ranch and the staff go above and beyond to honor and serve our female vterans (SHEroes!). I highly recommend this awesome organization. I had the honor and opportunity to visit the sight and was really impressed .

My daughter was the first Veteran to move in out there. A couple of months ago during the snow storm while she was in crisis, they kicked her out of the program and off the ranch.

It is very unfortunate she chose to leave. We sincerely wish her the best God has for her. Respectfully,
Everytime I have been out to Valor Ranch, There is so much love and compassion for our veterans but specifically the SHEROES - our women veterans!! Unfortunately, they get left out of so many services. This is where God placed our SHEROES on Keri Ann's heart with the help of her husband and several others they have made a wonderful sancuary to help rehabilitate and readjust in to the civilian wold. They have several tiny houses for the ladies to live in. People have donated horses for equine therapy, goats for milk to make soap with, cows, chickens and ducks for their eggs...They plan on having a garden to help supply veggies for the ladies as well. It is a wonderful place!!
There are not a lot of places for female veterans to be and I experience this myself in2016 I can to Texas and I was first living with my daughter and things became unhealthy so I need to find somewhere to go but I found out when I went to get help the only place was somewhere in Dallas and I was not familiar with Dallas so I didn't want to go. I believe Valor Ranch will be able to help many female Veterans and they will say this place saved my Life because the people who run it have a passion for Veterans and they will make a impact in some young Ladies life.
Valor Ranch is the most rewarding place I have had the privilege to work along side helping others. The ranch is for Veteran Women that will live onsite in one of the tiny homes while receiving counseling, coaching and life skills training. The Ranch has equine therapy, farm animals including ducks, chickens, fainting goats, cows and many others that have found a happy home and second chance at Valor. Kari Anne is an ANGEL on earth her mission is to help all she comes in contact with and especially the S.H.E.R.O.E.S (Serving, Honoring, Empowering & Restoring Our Esteemed Servicewomen.
Valor Ranch is a safe place for all. Everyone feels at ease and welcome when they are at the Ranch. I would strongly recommend the Ranch to anyone in need of the superior services that it offers.
Regardless of who you are you will receive a blessing. Their hearts are so BIG. Love what they are doing for our Sheroes.
Valor Ranch is something special. It's been an honor helping Keri with her vision. She has been there for me personally in more ways than one and I am forever grateful. She always willing to lend a helping hand to Veterans and anyone else affiliated with the Military. She does this because she's been there as a Military spouse and mom...she has a story. Josh is equally giving and has been just as amazing throughout all of this. Valor Ranch is changing lives, saving lives and just what many of us Veterans have been waiting for!
Valor Ranch has exceeded my expectations since the very beginning. The community we have built even with in the volunteers has been amazing. Once one comes out and begins to hear about the vision for this organization, you can not help but want to be a part of it. As the Widow of a combat Veteran it not only has stirred the passion I have maintained for our military members it also gives me an outlet that I have felt for many years for our female veterans who go off to war only to come home broken in spirit. I love the idea of gardening, animal therapy, PTSD groups and counseling. As a family member, the Groups session with a PTSD Counselor renewed my strength to try harder to understand what was going on and also validated my personal feelings of confusion and often rejection. I appreciate the work and fund raising that Valor Ranch does to build a community for our Sheros. It is also exceptional that they make us all feel like one big family and support the volunteers ups and downs as well.
Great organization ran by wonderful people! Keri is awesome and truly willing to help anyone who needs it, she is so knowledgeable and if she can’t provide the resources you need she will be sure to connect you with those who can. Her caring heart shows not just with Valor Ranch but in the way her and her family live their everyday lives.
