GenVets, Inc. needs 40 people to donate $25 to help end veteran su***de & and prioritize Post-Traumatic GROWTH for the military and veteran communities. I don't ask often. So please think about it.
Normally, I would be out on the corner selling lemonade...Forgive me, at my advanced age, with these winter temps.. my skin is too delicate... I am relying instead on Facebook's network, which I rarely do.
I’ll be in Tampa on February 28, 2026, attending the Red Star Foundation Gala in support of veteran mental health and su***de prevention—and I wanted to share why this night matters SO MUCH to the work I’m doing.
Through GenVets, Inc., I’m building a national initiative focused on next-generation, family-centered care for military & veteran communities. More on this to come--but, briefly, I plan to make multi-modality alternative mental health treatments and programming available ALL in ONE location for warriors, their children and families (for example: equine therapy, art, music & dance therapies, fly-fishing, narrative story-telling therapy and programming utilizing nature, music and art; farming and gardening with reciprocal benefits to state and local food banks/soup kitchens/shelters/farm to table establishments; yoga; and a multitude of other cutting edge techniques and evolving methods for Post-Traumatic GROWTH). If one thing doesn't work...there is something else to try. If a parent is there for narrative story-telling, a family member may be interested in equine therapy.
We need to meet our communities where they are ... on their time and at their pace... I want to give them THEIR SPACE.
GenVETS, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is raising funds to sponsor tables at the Gala so we can bring together national leaders, clinicians, and partners for intentional conversation & collaboration around that vision.
They are ready to come. They are ready for the challenge.
I’ll be there to help convene and steward those discussions.
The ask is not about attendance—it’s about supporting GenVETS’s ability to create the space for this work to move forward.
If you’re able to support GenVETS financially TOWARD table sponsorship, thank you.
That support directly enables the conversations and connections that make this possible.
