I spy a coffee maker, pots and pans
An ironing board and an oscillating fan.

I spy a TV and a blender,
A microwave, and a chord extender.

I spy a tea kettle and a broom
Plus, tables and chairs to adorn every room.

This is the stuff that’s ready to lend.
Because military moving delays can happen, my friend.

Emergencies don’t wait for payday to put a wrench in your day.

That’s why the best time to build an emergency fund is before you need it.

Here’s a few ways to get started:
- Save a small amount per paycheck — start with just $10 or $20.
- Set up an automatic transfer on payday.
- Start with a goal of $1,000, then keep building.

No one knows what the future holds — but you’ve got the power to make sure the bill is paid when the unexpected happens. Learn more here: https://usaaef.org/news-insights/everyone-needs-an-emergency-fund/.

The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) has hosted its annual National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp in Washington, D.C., each Memorial Day weekend since 1994.

The USAA Educational Foundation team was honored to participate this year, joining the Resource Village to provide financial education support to those grieving the loss of a loved one in the military or veteran community.

We are deeply inspired by the impactful work TAPS leads—creating space for connection, healing, and hope for those navigating loss. We look forward to future collaboration!

Where purpose meets action, The USAA Educational Foundation team joined leaders in Washington, D.C., for the Innovation Expo at the Elizabeth Dole Foundation's 11th Annual National Convening.

Held in the Atrium of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, the event provided a meaningful opportunity to connect with military and veteran caregivers and the community of organizations that support them.

We’re honored to support the Hidden Heroes Campaign and the National Blueprint for Action, bringing vital attention to the untold stories of caregivers and advancing solutions to meet the needs of this community.

Together, we can make a difference for those who care for our nation’s heroes.
