Jamicka Edwards held back tears when she arrived Thursday to do a community service project at Calvary Women’s Services, a transitional housing provider for homeless women. The 41-year-old Indiana native was once homeless herself.

According to the Point in Time Count, there were about 3,800 single homeless adults in the District last year, a quarter of them women, and about 1,000 homeless adults in families, with three quarters women.

The Mission Continues, an organization that matches former members of the U.S. armed services with leadership and service opportunities across the country, brought about 100 enthusiastic women veterans, including Ms. Edwards, to Calvary in Anacostia to refurbish the facility.

Physical challenges across the five days include a timed 20-mile endurance march and an aerial assault course.

He told me he was a survivor. Her name was Isabelle Winthrop. I asked if I could hug him as I saw he was on the verge of tears... so there we were, two strangers hugging and crying in the middle of the frozen food section. I’m sure we were a sight and I don’t care. ❤️

3 Types Of People Everyone Needs In Their Life​

It’s not for everyone and that’s ok. ❤️

? Today I want to hold a little space for the people who aren't feeling merry or joyful & might be wondering how they're gonna get through the holiday season.

The people who lost someone this year and are bracing themselves for the first time without them.

The people who are going home to guaranteed body shaming & fatphobia.

The people whose mental health issues won't magically disappear just because it's Christmas.

The people with eating disorders who are worried about holding onto recovery when everything is so food-centred this time of year.

The people who are struggling to afford every day life and might go into debt trying to keep up with the celebrations.

The queer kids who aren't able to fully be themselves around family because it might not be safe.

The people gathering strength to fight against racist comments round the dinner table.

The people who don't drink anymore and will have to keep explaining why because who doesn't drink over the holidays?

The carers, the retail workers, the hospital staff, everyone working extra time under extra pressure for not enough extra pay.

Anyone who's just feeling overwhelmed and like they can't keep up with it all.

I see you. And I want you to know that it's totally okay to feel exactly how you feel. To get through this year however you can. To protect and preserve yourself whenever you're able to. And to take this season a day at a time. ?????

Have you tried this?

Veterans across the U.S. are finding an extraordinary source of relief from their pain and PTSD thanks to floatation therapy, an alternative treatment for physical and emotional ailments.
’Floating’ consists of laying in a small pool filled with 10 inches of salt water containing roughly 1,000 pounds of magnesium sulfate – or as its more commonly known, Epsom salt. The high levels of salt counteract the effects of gravity, allowing the patient to float gently on top of the bed of water.
The water is heated to around 94.2 degrees Fahrenheit – about the same temperature as the human body – which creates the sensation of being suspended in air.

60,000 veterans died by suicide between 2008 and 2017, with little sign that the crisis is abating despite suicide prevention being the VA's top priority.
VA Secretary Robert Wilkie emphasized that the veteran suicide crisis went beyond the VA's capacity to address it, and must be targeted in a coordinated approach with local, state and private partners.
Firearms were the method of suicide in 70.7% of male veteran suicide deaths and 43.2% of female veteran suicide deaths in 2017, the report found.
The department has adopted a comprehensive public health approach to suicide prevention, using bundled strategies that cut across various sectors -- faith communities, employers, schools and health care organizations.
If you’re thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, the Lifeline network is available 24/7 across the United States. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255) to reach a trained counselor. Use that same number and press "1" to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.

Every day, I get up and tackle this passion project. It gives me hope that I can change the lives of our military, particularly once they get out. My own transition out of the Marine Corps was tough, to say the least.

Comedy is also my passion and now my profession - so it seemed like a natural combination. I get tired too. Today, this message is for me.

I made a small donation to Stop Soldier Suicide. Yes I’m bragging about this, because I’m a lucky one who has friends and family who keep me in check, but many veterans don’t. Before I joined the military I never knew how much the families of service members truly service in their own way with their own unique hardships. Thank you to my fellow service members but also the families who support them. If you’d like to support this great organization, look up The 22 Tour to Stop Soldier Suicide run by Crystalle Ramey and you can donate tickets to service members in the cities she brings her shows. I don’t know. It just seemed important today. ... See more

The point of @thereggiefilm is to get people talking openly and honestly about mental illness and suffering of all types regardless of the cause or condition.
On this 4th of July there is one number that I’d like to bring up.
22
22 is the number of soldiers that commit suicide DAILY. Imagine serving your country, surviving the battlefield only to come home and die in crisis? This is not acceptable.
Enter “The 22 Tour”, a nationwide comedy tour showcasing all military veteran comedians. Founded by @crystallera , a Marine veteran who took a comedy class several years ago to overcome a fear of microphones onset by a debilitating experience on a Middle School talent show that left her running off stage, crying for her mommy. The class was a success, she no longer fears microphones, though she still confidently cries for her mommy after every show. #therapy
Partnering with @stopsoldiersuicideorg her goal is to raise funds and awareness to bring that number to ZERO. NONE. NADA. Everyone gets to live.

Please Check out and share The 22 tour at
https://the22tour.com/
and on facebook @the22tour to learn more, get tickets to upcoming shows or to donate.
Happy 4th of July from the entire cast and crew of @thereggiefilm be safe!

Yep, @thegarybusey is in @thereggiefilm! We are excited to have him.
Gary’s standout performance in A Star Is Born got the attention of Dustin Hoffman who hired him along with his son Jake for the film Straight Time. On the heels of hype, Gary landed the second lead in Big Wednesday, now a cult classic surf film and immediately after, he landed the lead role in The Buddy Holly Story, which garnered him critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for best actor in 1978. His pivotal performance as a villain in Lethal Weapon earned him the attention of a new generation, and the concept of being hired to play villains.
In December 1988, he almost died from a near fatal motorcycle accident which left him comatose for three months. After regaining consciousness, and with the help of his family he re-learned how to eat, walk and talk. Immediately after his recovery he began working again, with his first film being the cult classic Point Break, a testament to his tenacity, passion, and love of his craft. After his head injury he met at the White House with Bill Clinton, with whom he helped create language for the "Traumatic Brain Injury Act “. This significant act was instrumental in passing the Helmet Law in California.
Gary has remained relevant to this day in film and television and has gone on to appear in over 150 films spanning four decades, including the memorable iconic classics; Under Siege, The Firm, and Entourage.
In 2012 after his son Luke was afflicted with Kawasaki Disease, he started the
"Busey Foundation For Children’s Kawasaki Disease" to raise awareness of this rare and dangerous ailment, with the goal of raising awareness, and helping families in need.
He also recently released his book Buseyisms that paints an epic picture of an even more epic life.

Tormented by nightmares about intruders breaking in and kidnapping his wife and his son, the Afghanistan War veteran and one-time rising Democratic Party star would rise from his bed and keep watch over his home.

“I went almost 12 years without a good night’s sleep,”
It was when his thoughts turned suicidal that Kander called the Veterans Administration hotline and realized — from the tone of the woman’s voice on the other end of the call, and from hearing the scared sound of his own voice —that he was not the only veteran battling this monster.“

One of the things about the monster is the monster convinces you that you haven’t earned the right to have it,” he said, referring to PTSD. “So, I spent about 12 years explaining away all the reasons why this all must be attributable to something else — and then feeling shame because I was just that way.”
