Leaving the military can leave us veterans struggling for support, facing homelessness, and carrying so much silently.
I became homeless after serving and fell into a cycle of depression and PTSD symptoms I spent years masking. Recreational therapy has been a crucial part of my healing, and I’m grateful for ALL of it. 🤍
I chose Eagle’s Nest Ranch in Elizabeth, CO, to give back through volunteering and find peace in the horses’ calming presence. After about 15 minutes of helping out, I got to groom, walk, and ride sweet Starlight—she even smiled for our selfie! 🐴✨
Colorado veterans, your own Starlight moment could be waiting! Reach out to the ranch—you deserve a little peace, too. 🫶🏽
Like & share! You could help a veteran find support they didn’t know existed. Thank you for showing up for my brothers & sisters. 🇺🇸🤍

There’s nothing like performing for a sold out crowd for a good cause. The @volunteers_of_america and @voacolorado “Chocolate Fantasia” event is tonight at the @laplatacountyfairgrounds 🍫🎶❤️

It’s a celebration of all things chocolate and an incredible fundraiser that will make an impact on many lives.

Proceeds from “Chocolate Fantasia” directly support the Durango Community Shelter and the Southwest Safehouse, which provide critical services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness and those fleeing from domestic violence.

It’s an honor to perform tonight!

Unbridled Golf Classic 2026 Photo Dump ⛳️
There’s no better way to celebrate Patriot Day than looking back on the success of our recent Golf Classic, raising funds for Colorado Veterans.
On Patriot Day, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and unity that carried our nation through one of its most difficult moments. It's also a reminder that honoring service isn't just about reflection. It's about showing up for those who continue to serve and sacrifice every day.
That's why we're especially grateful that proceeds from the Unbridled Golf Classic support veterans through Volunteers of America, helping provide resources, care, and support to those who have served our country.
Today, we honor the past by investing in the heroes among us, carrying forward the spirit of service, resilience, and community that Patriot Day represents.

“We were tired of the old way. 🙅‍♀️ Cash envelopes. Weekend product sorting. Burned-out coaches and parents. So we built something better.

iSM4SH was created because fundraising should be easier — AND because we believed it could do more than just raise money. The DOUBLE SM4SH model gives back to your organization while positively impacting communities. That’s the iSM4SH difference. ❤️🎒#iSM4SH #FundraisingWithPurpose #DoubleSM4SH #FounderStory #GiveBack

Let’s DO THE MATH! 🧮💸 Just 25 participants getting 5 orders each means your team earns $6,250 AND donates 125 backpacks to the community. Best case? $12,500 raised + 250 backpacks donated! It’s that simple and that impactful. Why settle for less when you can raise more and do more? Try the calculator at ism4sh.com! 🎒💥#iSM4SH #DoTheMath #FundraisingSuccess #CommunityImpact #TeamGoals
