Why did you become an entrepreneur?
I became an entrepreneur because I wanted to make a tangible impact in the community and create positive change. I saw a need for specialized care and support for veterans and individuals in need, and I knew that starting my own organization would allow me to address those needs directly.

Tell us about your organization.
Our organization is dedicated to assisting homeless veterans and individuals in need through various community service initiatives. We also run a Home Health Care Agency that provides essential services to veterans and individuals eligible for Medicare. Our team is committed to delivering compassionate and quality care to our clients, ensuring they receive the support they deserve.

In such a competitive industry, what keeps you motivated?
What keeps me motivated is the knowledge that our work is making a real difference in the lives of those we serve. Seeing the positive impact of our services on our clients and the community as a whole drives me to continue pushing forward, even in a competitive industry.

What kind of impact do you feel that your organization has had in the community?
I believe that our organization has had a significant impact in the community by providing essential services and support to homeless veterans and individuals in need. Through our initiatives and programs, we have been able to make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve, helping them access the care and resources they need to thrive.

How can people support your organization?
There are several ways that people can support our organization, including volunteering their time, making donations, and spreading the word about our work.
