Helping Hand to the Women

Pink Boot Movement-Veterans Home

It Is Our Duty!! You Can Help!!

Pink Boot  Movement (PBM) is a movement to house Homeless Female Veterans & their children and give a helping hand to the women that have put their lives on the line for our country daily.  They have risked it all to help us and now it’s time to return the favor. They need your help.  We have started with a fourteen bed transitional home that will meet the needs of veterans, and put them back on their feet while they prepare to get their lives back in order. The house is complete, but is in need of furniture and to be made handicapped accessible before we can welcome our Veterans.

 

Once the transitional housing is operational with Veterans in the house, the V.A. provides corollary subsidy known as the “Per Diem Program” which makes funds available primarily to meet the daily nutritional, hygienic, and medical needs for the veterans.  The per diem subsidy also pays a monthly charge for the cost of housing and otherwise assisting the veterans with special  needs, i.e. trips to the doctor or hospital, or any local store to purchase their needed hygiene items.  

 

The monthly payment to the owner also covers the cost of locating and making referrals to the other service agencies on behalf of the Veterans; for example, transporting the veterans to the local Department of Social Services (DSS) to discover and obtain any benefits for which the veterans may be eligible.

 

V.A. grant funds have already been approved, the first 14 bed home and 15 passenger van are already in place.

 

When you help support this movement, you will be giving back to those who gave everything for us. Below watch the CEO of HFCDC explain why we need your help to move forward. 

 

 

Before (Pre) there was a “Me

Pre-Me Designs

“Created to celebrate me
and children like me”

Pre Designs was birthed from a miraculous story of a baby girl named Zion Divine Brailsford
 
On February 13, 2009, Zion D Brailsford was born at 24 weeks weighing only 1lb 3oz. She was described as the size of a stick of butter; her skin was transparent as the skin of an onion. Fir countless days in the neonatal unit, tubes circulated throughout her body and medical equipment was used around the clock. For weeks, doctors informed Zion ‘s family that she has a slight chance at life due to her prematurity. It was a waiting game. Zion fought for her Life! Believers prayed and fasted. A prayer pillow was made by a woman of God- Sis. Johnson. This purple prayer pillow was placed in her incubator for the duration of her stay in the hospital. Today, this pillow is a constant reminder of the power of faith. After 115 days of fighting for life in the neonatal unit, Zion came home. Today Zion is a bright beautiful, healthy 14 year old who is a living testimony and miracle!  This young entrepreneur is blazing trails for generations to come. She is ready to paint the world!  This business, Pre-Me Designs, reflects Zion’s journey of her premature birth. This art business , more importantly, shows just how omnipotent and amazing God is!  Before (Pre) there was a “Me”, God had inserted this incredible gift of art inside of her before time. Today, this gift has manifested. To God be the glory!
