Honoring Our Heroes 🎖️ On this Memorial Day, we are deeply honored to remember and celebrate all those who have served and continue to serve our country. Your bravery and dedication inspire us every day. At Madi's Movement, we are committed to supporting foster teens that often lack the support system many take for granted. Here are some important stats about foster teens and military service: 🦅 Around 10% of former foster youth join the military. Many foster teens see the military as a pathway to stability and opportunity. 🗽Foster youth who join the armed forces often excel due to their resilience and adaptability. 💬 Comment 'Heroes' below to learn more and see how even the smallest action can make a big difference. Follow us for a glimpse into the world of foster teens and how every act of kindness adds up to a huge difference. ✨ 🙏 Thank you to all who serve and to those who support our foster teens. Together, we can create lasting change and build a brighter future for all. #MemorialDay #HonoringOurHeroes #FosterTeens #MadisMovement #SupportFosterYouth #Empowerment #EducationForAll #Military #Army #USA #Love #America #Honor#SupportFosterTeens #MakingADifference #FosterCareAwareness #FosterYouthAwareness #FosterCareSystem #FosterParents #FosterParent #FosterParenting #FosterCare #FosterAwarenessMonth #NonProfit #MakeADifference #FYP #NonProfitOrganization #Sibblings #Moving #Struggles

Are you a military veteran living in or around Lewiston, Idaho? You are not alone, and there are so many resources available for help. Here is a list of some resources available to veterans in or around the Lewiston region. Please let me know if I can expand this list. There's a program called Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) that can help with rent assistance, utility assistance, rapid rehousing of homeless veterans, gas vouchers, and up to $1,200 in automotive repairs. They will also help with legal assistance, such as evictions or debt collection, child support, and a few other things. That's just some of the services they offer. SSVF grantees vary depending on location. The Blue Mountain Action Council out of Walla Walla is an amazing group that serves a few regionally nearby communities. Community Action Partnership of Lewiston is an SSFV grantee and case management location. https://lnkd.in/gyvmWAvG The Salvation Army in Lewiston also has a Veterans Services program, accessible via the link below, or by calling the local Salvation Army. https://lnkd.in/gFvqVZqr Again, you are not alone, and if you're in need of help, that's perfectly okay. Times are hard for everyone. As a community we have to love compassionately and help our neighbors. Additionally, calling 211 will give you an option for Veteran services. I highly recommend starting with contacting your local VA representative or advocate. They will be able to better help you navigate potential resources, and find more that I don't know about. #military #veteran #socialservices #communityresources #public #gethelp #veterancrisis #crisismanagement #billassistance #legalhelp #lewiston #idaho #lewistonidaho #clarkston #va #help #publichealth #lcvalley

We’re building something more than just a brand with a product to sell. Behind that product there’s a culture, and a community, and a philanthropy that’s getting involved with veterans, law enforcement, fire departments, nurses, etc. This brand stands for something, and that something is the patriotic nature of this country that these groups sacrifice for. It’s always struck me how powerful of a choice it is for a young man to decide he’s going to lay down his life for this country and join the military. The same goes for deciding to become a fireman, or a police officer, or a medical worker. Each of these requires the sacrifice of putting the country, community, etc before yourself. That’s patriotism, and it’s powerful stuff. With Patriot Hard Seltzer we’re giving back via donations to help these groups, honoring those who serve on our cans, and getting involved in the communities to help make a difference. We are building something much bigger than just a 5% alcohol whiskey hard seltzer. It’s a movement. #patriotseltzer #whiskey #whiskeyseltzer #hardseltzer #business #businessowner #entrepreneur #military #lawenforcement #police #firedepartment #firefighter #nurse #nursing #emt #ems #paramedic #america #freedom #patriotic #usa
Jonathan Castillo US Army Warrior Rescue (501c3 Nonprofit) Heard something yesterday in regards to PTS/PTSD that’s been on my mind and kept me up all night: Cast take for my active duty folks/vets: You don’t have to see “combat” to have/had stressors in your life or don’t have/had to see “combat” to “talk to somebody.” Sometimes life sucks, it’s stressful at times, go talk to somebody if you need to vent. The military has resources for everyone, they do, leaders look for them and teach/help our folks. If your folks get “turned back” don’t sit back and do nothing, if you do nothing, you are the problem. Stop, listen to understand, not to answer back, understand the situation and take action. Take your ID Card out of your computer, get up and do something. They came to your door for a reason. If you are in uniform discrediting our military and available resources, and haven’t done anything to address the problem/issue, you are the problem too, I said it. If you think leading soldiers stops at 1700, we need to talk. If anybody out there needs help and has reached tracer burn out, call me, don’t Facebook call me, call my personal cell number: 512-289-7559 I’m not going to save the universe but I’m going to die trying, who’s coming? #lostigres #loveendlessly #strongertogether #theyarewatching #dobetter #ivebeenmentoredbygiants #hondotxhasmyheart #sgmapproved
Every person on "the front lines" needs between 5 and 20 support personnel who train, equip, undergird, and receive returnees from their deployment. I first learned about the level of unseen support from Neal Pirolo's book "Serving as Senders Today". At the time he wrote, there were 9 support persons needed to back up a soldier. Missionaries also need the variety of services provided by friends, family, church, sending organization, etc. People in background roles such as; raising and managing resources, maintaining relationships with and for those on the field, training, and engaging in prayer themselves and with others...read more https://lnkd.in/gXrBV3iv
Social Impact Strategist | Systemic Change Architect | Solving Veteran Homelessness 🇺🇸
The New Yorker article "Million Dollar Murray" (2006) by Malcolm Gladwell tells the story of Murray Barr, a homeless veteran in Reno, Nevada, who accumulated over $1 million in medical and social services costs over several years. The article highlights the limitations of managing homelessness through temporary shelters and services, rather than addressing the root causes of homelessness. The article argues that power law distribution supersedes standard distribution in understanding homelessness because: 1. A small percentage of homeless individuals (like Murray) consume a disproportionate amount of resources, driving up costs. 2. These individuals often have complex needs, requiring expensive interventions. 3. Standard distribution approaches assume homelessness is a normal, evenly distributed phenomenon, whereas power law distribution recognizes that a small elite (in this case, the most vulnerable homeless individuals) require targeted, intensive support. The article suggests that Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is a more effective solution than managing homelessness through temporary shelters and services. PSH provides stable housing and wraparound support services, addressing the underlying causes of homelessness and reducing costly emergency interventions. By acknowledging the power law distribution of homelessness, policymakers can focus resources on the most vulnerable individuals, providing permanent solutions rather than temporary band-aids. This approach can help reduce overall costs and effectively address homelessness, rather than just managing it.
Our military families are the backbone of our veterans' strength, but they face their own unique challenges—worry, separation, and adjusting to life after service. Behind every service member, there’s a family that serves, too. This #NationalVeteransMonth, we honor their resilience and dedication. Here are some great resources to help military families navigate mental health, reintegration, and everyday challenges: Military OneSource Offers free counseling, support, and resources for military families. www.militaryonesource.mil The National Military Family Association (NMFA) Provides advocacy and support for military families, with a focus on mental health and wellness. www.militaryfamily.org Blue Star Families A nonprofit that helps military families connect with local communities and find support. www.bluestarfam.org It's A Military Life itsamilitarylife.org A nonprofit organization committed to supporting military families and veterans, including career services and pen pal connections. Recovery.com Provides online resources for those seeking guidance or treatment for mental health issues. Let’s show them that they’re not alone. #FamilySupport #MilitaryFamilies #VeteransStrong #MentalHealthMatters #WeSupportYou
