Thank you for all you do to help our veterans!
The power of a hat, a conversation, and community. 💛
Longtime VPH supporters and volunteers, Mike & Gail Kipp, were wearing their Veterans Path to Hope Outdoors hat recently when a young Marine veteran named Pablo noticed it. What happened next is a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do.
When Mike and Gail mentioned Veterans Path to Hope, Pablo’s face completely lit up! He shared that about eight months ago, VPH threw him a lifeline during a difficult time. In particular, he remembered a team member named Paul, who stepped up and helped the Marine veteran secure the exact resources and people he needed to get back on his feet.
Today, Pablo is doing well, thriving, and full of gratitude for the stewardship and care he received.
To Mike and Gail: Thank you for always flying the VPH flag and making these meaningful connections in the community.
And to Pablo, thank you for your service. We are proud to have helped you in a time of need. Our doors are always open to you and every service member. Stop in for a cup of Joe and say hi sometime.
