Dear Friends,
Please join me in supporting Veterans Yoga Project and its mission to support recovery and resilience among our veterans, families and communities by making a gift dedicated to Light-A-Candle for Memorial Day campaign.
Light-A-Candle is one of Veteran Yoga Project's two annual fundraising campaigns and your gift will support:
- More than 100 free Mindful Resilience yoga classes across the country
- Training scholarships for veterans
- Healing retreats for veterans
As you know, I work part-time with Veterans Yoga project as a contracted grants manager. I have also received level one and two training to teach Mindful Resilience for Trauma Recovery classes. In my work as a grants manager and teacher, I have become well familiar with the impact our programs have on the lives of veterans. The Mindful Resilience program is empirically-supported and based on clinical research and the feedback of hundreds of veterans and active-duty service members who attest how these practices improve their quality of life physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. As one veteran who attended classes I taught at a veterans' supportive housing community said, "Yoga saved my life."
In honor of Memorial Day and those who have served, I ask you to make a donation to Light-A-Candle for Memorial Day and support the nation's veterans on their journey from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth.
No gift is too small, all gifts of support are appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration.
With gratitude,
Millie

These programs include more than 100 free Mindful Resilience yoga classes across the USA, training scholarships and healing retreats for veterans.
