There is no better way to support our service women and veterans. They gave for us and I am happy to support them. Thank you, Women Warriors! We appreciate your service!
My name is Rebecca Duggan and I’m an Army veteran. I served from 1997-2000. I was introduced to Karen Kuciver and Women Warriors at the beginning of this year. I was getting treatment at the Tucson VA hospital residential program for my PTSD. I was in a very sad and lonely place mentally and emotionally. She donated clothes, lotion, and makeup to me. I felt so undeserving of this kindness. I felt so guilty about taking anything. That act of grace and kindness made me feel worthy again. When she told me she needed help I didn’t hesitate to offer. I want to pay it forward to The Women Warrior Program. Karen and the whole Women Warriors Board of women have made me feel so welcome. Thank you so much for everything.
Woman Warriors have come to my aid and rescue everytime I have needed them. I am a female veteran and met Ms. Karen at the 2018 Tucson Veterans Standdown. At that time I was i was going through hard times with no direction. With the help of Karen and Woman Warriors I am rebuilding my life with positive influences. Woman Warriors have been there for me and my family with something so simple as providing a Blender to help with my sons mixture of food to diapers for my grandbabies. I thank God everyday for these women and the help they have provided for me and my family. A little bit of love goes a long way.
This organization is reaching a forgotten sector of society, our cherished women warriors. It is in the hardest times in life that the practical and most mundane things are the ones most needed. It warms my heart to hear of women getting shelter, food, necessities, encouragement, and especially the love, ❤️ caring and dignity these brave souls deserve. I support and will continue to support Women Warriors in their effort to help our service women.
Years ago I first met the Founder of WW (Karen) in a College course that we took together. Only if I knew meeting this person would change the course of my life forever!
With that being said, I am medically retired Army, and an Army Wounded Warrior. At the time, when WW came in the picture I was going through a horrible divorce, and became a single mom of 2 younger children, unemployed but looking for work, and going to school full-time. I was struggling badly to make ends meet let alone survive with 2 children, on the verge of being homeless. If it wasn’t for them I would’ve never made it.
They gave me the opportunity to grow, gain a family, and stand strong on my feet again. The opportunity they gave me allowed me to become EMT/Firefighter, and I’m about to finish my last year of my BSN of Nursing.
Now I’m giving back and joined the board of WW to help people just like me do the same! WW is my forever family and have welcomed me with open arms! 100% one of the most generous, honorable, loving, non-judgmental nonprofits I know!
This is a great organization that goes out of their way to help female veterans. Women Warriors helps female veterans with financial assistance, resources, hygiene products, clothing and more.
