🇺🇸❤️Please join me in welcoming Sharon Calvillo to the Board of Directors of Healing Veterans On The Move! I am incredibly excited to welcome my friend Sharon to our team! As a former Navy wife of 22 years, Sharon understands that military service impacts not only those who wear the uniform, but also the families who stand beside them.
Her commitment to supporting our military community began when she was just 20 years old, living far from home in Guam. During a difficult time of loneliness and homesickness, the kindness of the women at the USO gave her a sense of belonging and community that she has never forgotten.
Years later, when she welcomed young sailors from Great Lakes Naval Base into her home for Thanksgiving, she was reminded of just how much a simple act of kindness can mean to someone far from home. And now, she’s bringing that same compassion to Healing Veterans On The Move.❤️
Through our friendship, Sharon has witnessed firsthand the challenges veterans face navigating healthcare, accessing resources, and finding someone willing to stand beside them when they feel unheard.
When she expressed her desire to serve on our board, something she said really stood out to me: “I don’t know that I can fix every problem a veteran may face. But I do know how to show up.” And that, my friends, is exactly what our mission is about. Whether it’s driving a veteran to an appointment, sharing a cup of coffee, helping them access resources, or simply being there to listen, Sharon wants to make sure veterans in Wisconsin know they are not alone.
As Cooper and I continue traveling the country advocating for our fellow veterans, having compassionate people who can help build connections and provide support in their own communities is invaluable.
Sharon, I’m grateful for your friendship, your willingness to serve, and the heart you bring to our mission. Welcome to the team, Sharon!🇺🇸❤️🐾
