My experience with Women Veteran Support Service is one of a founder as well as one who work to take in information with this organization which I find both to be awesome but yet challenging from concept, to now working with this organization is a wonderful learning experience from the time a veteran was walking in front of the Durham Va with luggage if you want to call her item for clothing luggage , with no were to go . I and Patricia Harris at 2 p.m. she went to the Va because a call came about this veteran and knowing her heart for women veteran this thus started the beginning ,or ,concept of W.V.S.S. INC given to the third person of the Organization so since concept of W.V.S.S the road has been rough the going mighty tough but still we tarry on. I am for one believe totally in the support of this one of a kind organization with the start since 2008 I could go on but I am beginning to feel a little (crying) please forgive me but I have to close but not my heart for W.V.S.S. Inc. I close with this for Women Veterans Support Service , ' we are a blessed and Spirit lead Organization, we have not come to our fullness yet for there is much to be done, but, for our Ladies in need so help us please with a donation that is how we help the women with their children/ or not) May the Angle bring to all the gifts that is sent to you from the FATHER ABOVE WITH MANY BLESSING AMEN ( yes I did holler out loud) smile /love you

hope this finds whomever needs to read this and feel they cant find a positive outcome. ive owned homes and multiple vehicles. im a veteran, a mom, and college educated. never in my thoughts did I think I would lose my job, my home, and be faced with no where to go but that was the case. I basically was living out my car and came upon this organization really by accident. I remember getting a phone call saying meet me at the gas station. in my mind I knew that I was down to my last money and driving to a gas station but I was like ok. I wont use any names in this story so that they can smile in private but she knocked on the window and I guess my pride was like omg I cant believe that im in this predicament, but that was life. I was talked to and made to feel that I was not the only one in this situation and that there was someone that cared and wanted to help. information was given, and we talked. right before I left one of the ladies gave me a 20 bill. now I knew that 20 was gonna be gas and something for my kids but I never told her that at that moment. I was then put in a hotel with my kids. I really needed that week to clear my head and put things in perspective again. I knew that I could go back home to ny but that would mean super failure and that was not an option. during that week I scouted and hunted down 2 jobs and the hustle began again. its crazy as a veteran I knew of 10000 services and things for men but I never thought or saw an organization for females or their families. I was assisted with getting section 8, something I never thought I would use in my life. after the transition and I found stable employment with the county, my business affiliation with the organization ended, but my mental and friend connection to one of the ladies continues today. I can say its not a day I don't call or text or email her at least 10x a day. I can say I am a proud female veteran with mental and physical scars, and everyday is a task. I know that it can take only 1 event, 1 moment that you cant control and your whole life can be changed forever. but do know you can restart and restart life many times, so never give up on yourself or the situation.
