HOMELESS VETERANS IN DETROIT Veterans are two to three times more likely to experience homelessness than the general population. But hope is on the horizon in the Motor City. Detroit has reduced veteran homelessness by nearly 50% since 2020 — almost five times the national average reduction of 11% in the same time period — and by 70% since 2017. The city is working to reach “functional zero” — when the community can house the number of veterans routinely entering homelessness within one month — thereby ending veteran homelessness completely. Several factors are helping Detroit make significant progress:  Diandra Gourlay, Vice President of Social Services at Volunteers of America Michigan, talks to our host Dale Throneberry about the specifics of the program in Detroit that aims to eliminate homelessness for our veterans.

Happy Veterans Day to all the service men & women who have served and are currently serving! We appreciate & thank you and your families for your sacrifices. We hoped y'all enjoyed today's show and will join us on November 25th, 2021 for our Thankful Thursday Episode! Below are some of the ways you can give back to our service men & women if you're interested! We've also high lighted some of the tips we talked about, to help you start the process of over coming fear, failure and anything else holding you back from being the GREATEST YOU! 5 Ways you or someone you know can help our veterans and service men & women: 1. Help Veterans get medical care and other resources. Disabled American Veterans (DAV) is a nonprofit that drives veterans to medical appointments, assist them in filing benefit claims (e.g., VA health benefits or Medicare health insurance) with the government and helps vets with medical, employment and other general needs. For more information, visit their site at www.dav.org 2. Build a home for a Veteran. A couple of different organizations build new homes or adapt existing homes for veterans with severe injuries. If you're a contractor or tradesman, Building Homes for Heroes (www.buildinghomesforheroes.org) and Homes for Our Troops (www.hfotusa.org) can both use your skills to help build homes for injured vets. If you don't have building expertise, you can still get involved by donating funds, goods and services or land. 3. Provide a service dog for a Vet. Service dogs can help vets who have PTSD, brain injuries, vision impairments and physical injuries. Many communities have organizations that provide service dogs to vets. Some organizations such as the Puppy Jake Foundation (www.puppyjakefoundation.org) in Des Moines, Iowa, use volunteers to raise puppies as service dogs. Other organizations such as Puppies Behind Bars (www.puppiesbehindbars.com) in New York City work with prison inmates to raise dogs for vets. 4. Help Homeless Veterans. Stand Down programs for veterans who are homeless are local one- to three-day events that provide a single spot for vets to receive food, shelter, health screenings and other needs. To volunteer for a Stand Down event near you, check with the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. (www.nchv.org) 5. Help active troops talk to loved ones through USO Operation Phone Home. For more information visit www.uso.org If you'd like to get in contact with us, to leave a comment, ask a question, share a story, or if you have a topic suggestion... send us an email at: cousinscornerpodcasts@gmail.com. Some tips to help you start the process of overcoming anything that's holding you back from being the GREATEST YOU! *Consistency *Change in Mindset *Preparation comes before Promotion *Take baby steps (and if you take a wrong step, don't be ashamed... just take a step back. *Never, Never Give Up! *Have the mindset that this may not be easy *Remember, in order to get from where you are to where you want to be... you have to go through the middle!!

Good Morning Veterans, Family, and Friends, welcome back to the NINETEENTH EPISODE of the Veteran Doctor. On this week's episode, we will discuss Helping Veteran Ideas. We will also continue our fun facts of UBI (Useful Bits of Information) and Veteran News, so stick around for the program! Hello fellow veterans! I hope everyone is doing well during these challenging times we are in with the COVID-19 quarantine. It seems like we have been experiencing issues for a while now with no light at the end of the tunnel. I guess you can say we are establishing a new normal for our way of life. Who knows!? Anyway, I want to talk about help veterans today! We always discuss this at our meetings, and our primary mission as an organization is to help veterans within our community. I think we do an outstanding job at this! However, what do we do as individuals? If you would like to show some gratitude for the sacrifices made and support veterans, there are many ways to make it happen. Sometimes even a small gesture can have a significant impact. Our veterans have many needs and challenges because of their military service, and they can use support and assistance in various ways that may not always be obvious. It is just a thought, and it does not take much to devote a little time to help a fellow veteran out. Here are some ideas. (NOTE: I realize some of these ideas do not comply with current COVID-19 quarantine restrictions. So please use with caution and be safe). Some of these ideas may have to wait till after all of this COVID-19 stuff calms down. Pick up the tab for a Veteran's coffee or meal. The next time you see a veteran in a restaurant or standing in line for coffee, pick up the tab. You can do so anonymously if you would prefer, but even a quick "thank you for your service" would mean a lot to the veteran. You don't have to limit yourself to dinner or a latte—you could pay for a tank of gas, a prescription, or a cart of groceries. Show you, support Veterans, by Providing Transportation. One way to support veterans in your local area is to provide necessary transportation to get to medical and mental health treatment appointments. The VA has a volunteer transportation network that allows volunteers to donate their time and/or the use of their vehicles for veterans in need. Donated vehicles may also be used or accepted by the program. Visit Wounded Vets in a Nearby VA Facility. Another great way to show that you support veterans is to pay a visit to wounded vets at a VA facility near you. These injured veterans may not have many visitors to brighten their day. Once you find the nearest VA facility, contact the staff, and find out if you can arrange a visit. The staff may be able to identify veterans who would benefit the most from a visit. Say Thank You and Mean It. One of the easiest ways to support veterans is a simple thank you, as long as it is heartfelt and sincere. A simple act of gratitude for everything that the veteran faced and gave up seems like such a small thing, but it is something that American veterans do not hear as often as they should. These two words can brighten even a lousy day for a veteran because you acknowledge their service.In particular, saying, “Welcome home. Thank you for your service” to Vietnam veterans can have a substantial emotional impact on them since Vietnam era veterans did not experience even the lip-service support from American society that today’s veterans receive. Fight Homelessness, Eviction, and Foreclosure among Veterans. If you support veterans, then you realize that many veterans face foreclosure, eviction, and homelessness. You can volunteer with the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, donate your time and effort to Homes for Our Troops, or even provide financial assistance to veteran organizations to prevent the eviction of a military family. Perform Home Repairs or Household Chores for a Veteran in Need. One terrific way to support veterans is to perform home repairs or household chores for a veteran in need. Many veterans in your area may need help with household chores or home repairs because of a disability, a severe injury, or even a lack of financial resources. When you help out in this way, you will gain an incredible sense of satisfaction while helping repay a veteran who deserves it. Donate your Time to a Veteran Organization. There are other ways to support veterans, even if you do not have special skills or a lot of knowledge in-home repair. You can volunteer with a veteran organization and make a difference. These organizations depend on volunteers to keep costs down. Clerical work, answering phones, organizing, and stepping in to help with menial work can make an enormous difference. The National Veteran Foundation welcomes volunteers of all ages and skill levels at our offices in Los Angeles. Replace one light bulb in your home with a green one. The Greenlight a Vet project is a simple way to remind yourself and others about the sacrifice veterans have made for our country and to show your appreciation to them. Simply purchase a green bulb and place it somewhere in your home—a porch lamp is ideal since it's most visible to others. Over 9 million people across the nation have logged their green lights into the project's nationwide map so far. Volunteer your Services to Help Vets in Need. If you do have special skills that you can offer, whether these are IT skills, tax preparation training, or medical training, then you can support veterans by providing your skills free of charge. You will be able to use your knowledge and training to help veterans who need these skills right now and who may have limited financial resources to pay for this type of assistance. Write a letter to thank a veteran. Operation Gratitude is an organization that coordinates care packages, gifts, and letters of thanks to veterans. You can work through them to send your appreciation to a vet or volunteer to help assemble care packages. And, if you still have candy kicking around from Halloween, Operation Gratitude also mails sweets to deployed troops. Spend Time with a Vet and Take the Time to Listen. One way that you can give something back to a veteran who was willing to sacrifice everything is to spend time with them and listen to them. Many veterans end up socially isolated, and this can have a negative effect on their mental and physical health. Get to know veterans in your area and spend time with them so that they have social opportunities and do not end up isolated. Provide Food for Veterans. Many veterans are hungry, and a home-cooked meal will provide them with much-needed nutrition. Even vets that are not lacking food will benefit from a meal or a homemade batch of cookies. It shows them that someone cares. Contact your local church or veteran organization to see who might appreciate your culinary delights. Feed Our Vets is an organization that specializes in feeding hungry veteran families. Get involved with a Veterans assistance program. There are veterans in your community that could use help—but how do you find them? Contact a local veterans assistance program, such as the one offered by DAV. They'll be able to put you in touch with local vets who need help doing chores like yard work, housework, grocery shopping, or running errands. Help Veterans with job training. Adjusting to civilian life after military service isn't always smooth sailing. Hire Heroes helps vets with interview skills, resumes, and training so they can find a post-military career. They even partner with various employers to host a job board. Through Hire Heroes, you can help veterans with mock interviews, career counseling, job searches, workshops, and more. Help build a house for a Veteran. Building Homes for Heroes builds or modifies homes to suit the needs of veterans injured in Iraq or Afghanistan. The houses are given mortgage-free to veterans and their families. You can volunteer your painting, carpentry, plumbing, wiring, and other skilled services—or you can just donate to the cause. Volunteer for an "Operation Reveille" or “Stand Down” event for homeless veterans. The VA continually hosts Operation Reveille or Stand Down, a series of one- to three-day events that give much-needed supplies and services to homeless veterans. Vets can receive everything from food and clothing to health screenings, housing solutions, substance abuse treatment, and mental health counseling. They take place at various places across the nation all year long, so contact the representative in your state about when and how you can volunteer. Visit a Vet with your Pet. It is a well-known fact that animals provide emotional and physical benefits. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Animal-assisted therapy can significantly reduce pain, anxiety, depression, and fatigue in people with a range of health problems.” Dogs are the most commonly used for therapy and service dogs. A well-behaved dog can receive certification and be able to bring some affection and calmness into a vet’s life. Send a care package. In addition to helping people send care packages to active duty members, Operation Gratitude’s “Welcome Home Heroes” initiative sends care packages to veterans. “Just as with our care packages to deployed troops, we want to put a smile on the face of every veteran who courageously served our nation,” says Operation Gratitude’s founder Carolyn Blashek on the organization’s website. Veteran care packages can include many of the items sent to active-duty troops, including personal letters of thanks, snacks, books, magazines, and hygiene items. So, this list is not inclusive by any means. Please add to it and be creative in your ways to give back to Veterans in our community. They will appreciate it, just as you did when you received something in the past. Believe it or not, it is also just as therapeutic for you to help and give to other veterans.

Let's Make Thank You For Your Service More than Lip ServiceI often see military personnel and I am quick to say thank you for your service. There are organizations that give us an opportunity to donate money to help veterans. https://www.buildinghomesforheroes.org/for-veterans/ (https://www.buildinghomesforheroes.org/for-veterans/). https://www.hfotusa.org. https://puppyjakefoundation.org (https://www.hfotusa.org. https://puppyjakefoundation.org) 0:00 - 0:30 Good evening, and welcome to my humble podcast abode. I am Cocoa Griot, that fifty-something Mom who likes to chat about life, love and a host of other topics. When we tell people thank you for your service. What do we really mean by that? I had conversations recently with three people that made me ponder the depth of this statement.Two were out of the military and one was still serving. 0:30 - 1:00 I reflected upon the contributions of my great-great-great-grandfather George Guthrie who fought in the Civil War in the calvary for the Union and my great-grandfather Elbert Lewis who fought in World War Two and what their service actually means to me. Whenever I see service people, I'm quick to say thank you for your service, but what have I done to be a service of their community? Tonight, I want to explore the topic of thank you for your service being more than lip service dog. Oftentimes 1:00 - 1:30 I receive calls from organizations that claim to do things on behalf of people who served in the military. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty skeptical about donating so long my conversation this week really made me think about how can I safely do something on behalf of people without getting scammed? I think we've all heard before that freedom is not free. I was shocked to find out that about one-third of veterans suffer from PTSD. 1:30 - 2:00 That's alarming. I know. As a civilian, I've not done enough to find out ways that I can contribute to people served in the military. So I want to start by talking about an organization called you, that's right. I'm talking to me too. You don't have to sign up with any particular entity. If you are not comfortable with that assisting veterans by running errands or spending time with them can be a great help, you know, sometimes people just need someone 2:00 - 2:30 to talk to if you need a more structured way of helping directly, you might consider volunteering at a VA hospital in some capacity on those things are kind of scary right now with covid-19 things that we can do to keep ourselves safe and still contribute before I go further into our topic. I want to share some really exciting information with you. Today's episode is presented by the skin store. For over 20 years the skin store has been the number 2:30 - 3:00 one destination for premium skin care, hair Care, bath and beauty products with over 8,000 different products from 300 different brands.

These groups build new homes or adapt existing homes for veterans with severe injuries. Please know that I checked out both of these nonprofits on Charity Navigator.

Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) is a publicly funded 501(c) (3) non-profit organization which builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 Veterans, to empower them to rebuild their lives. The majority of their Veterans have sustained injuries including multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). These homes restore some of the freedom and independence our Veterans sacrificed while defending our country, and enable them to focus on their family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives. Since its inception in 2004, nearly 90 cents out of every dollar spent has gone directly to our program services for Veterans. HFOT builds these homes where the Veteran chooses to live and continues its relationship with the Veterans after home delivery to assist them with rebuilding their lives. Brigadier General USA Retired Tom Landwermeyer is the President and CEO, of Homes for Our Troops. He joined me this week to highlight the important work of the organization and how you can get involved.

Texas-raised Mandy Amano became "the face that launched 1,000 websites" after her Pepsi commercial premiered during the Super Bowl. This led to appearances in MAXIM, countless online magazines, blogs, and comic books -- most notably SHI and RONIN HOOD OF THE 47 SAMURAI. A genre girl at heart, some of her favorite roles have been starring as "O," the ultimate modern femme fatale, in the neo-noir thriller PROXY KILL; the fierce and fiery fighter pilot “Oujo” in SQUADRON (still in production); and “Thalia,” the little but lethal Black Ops vampire, in BLOOD SOLDIERS. She landed a pivotal role when Academy Award-winning writer/director Steven Ayromlooi cast her as “Princess Kyoko” opposite the mighty Evan Parke in film festival/comic con phenomenon THE SUN DEVIL AND THE PRINCESS, which racked up a show-stopping 20 awards -- including two Best Actress wins for her portrayal of the strong yet ethereal princess. Next up is the dream role of “Minako” in two-time Golden Globe, five-time Emmy Award nominee, and legendary Broadway director Robert Allan Ackerman and Sohee Park's neo-noir dark comedy, KOREATOWN, which is being developed as a feature film directed by Steven Ayromlooi. Described as "Audrey Hepburn ... who could kick your ass” by SHI creator Billy Tucci, Amano is very passionate about representation in media, particularly for her fellow Asian/Eurasian brothers and sisters. Frustrated with the lack of opportunity for Asian actors, Amano decided to take her destiny into her own hands and create her own projects. Amano has written a streaming pilot called ULTIMATE GIRL & JO -- a superhero buddy story about two women, Sarina and Jo, who learn that friendship is the real superpower and that, sometimes, saving the world means saving each other. Always having had a heartstring for those who embody the warrior spirit ~ and, taking great pride in her Japanese American paternal grandfather Robert Kiyoto Amano, a WW2 veteran who was part of the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) ~ it made perfect sense that on September 12, 2014 at the “Cycle for Heroes” fundraising event for The Heroes Project (THP), a spark (more like a fire) would ignite within Amano for what would become one of her deepest passions... honoring and supporting the lives of our nation’s heroes when they come home. She continues to be as active as she can with THP and also holds dear several other veteran organizations: Final Salute Inc and their Ms. Veteran America Competition, Rock to Recovery, VME (Veterans in Media & Entertainment), Homes for Our Troops, Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, Heroes & Horses, and VETPAW, to name a few.

Check out her first episode about Life After The Biggest Loser...  Tracey Yukich is said to have had one of the most surprising transformations as a contestant in Season 8 of NBC's hit TV show, The Biggest Loser. After collapsing from heat stroke during a 1 mile run the first day on camera, Tracey spent two weeks on the heart floor of the local hospital where she learned she had plaque on her heart at the young age of 37. After the birth of her fourth child and a decision to hang up her suits and heels to manage her home, she fell off the wheel completely, climbing to 250 pounds and completely losing control. At her lowest point, she was hiding from her family in the bathroom, eating cookies while beating herself up, ashamed of the woman she had become. But she turned her life around and believes others can to. Tracey is currently training to run the Boston Marathon and raising money for Homes for Our Troops. Her speaking engagements, boot-camps and workshops on diet and nutrition are helping women across the country reclaim their lives.

In 2004, after watching a news report of a severely injured service member who had returned from Iraq, John Gonsalves thought to himself "what now, what happens to this person now?". He searched for an organization that he assumed was already in place where he could donate his building expertise for a few weeks. When he found out that none existed, he quit his contractor job and started Homes for Our Troops. Homes for Our Troops builds specially adapted homes for our most severely injured service members. To date, they have built 30 homes, and have pledged to build another thirty. Last evening I was privileged to attended the 1st Annual Homes for Our Troops Dinner / Auction Benefit. I was truly inspired by the event and the one that that I took awat was how much of an impact one person can have on the lives of others. John Gonzalves, founder of Homes For Our Troops is definitely Someone You Should Know.

Last evening on Pundit Review it was our pleasure to speak with a remarkable young man, Dylan DeSilva. Cape Cod Cares for Our Troops is a non-profit organization started by then-12 year old Dylan. He wanted to find a way to honor our soldiers for their service, dedication and sacrifices to our country. With the help of his family and friends he sends care packages to our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan on a weekly basis. Dylan's organization is holding a Support The Troops rally this coming Sunday, August 20th from 2-5PM at Eldredge Park in Orleans, MA.
