Happy Wednesday!!! I am so excited that DNA Rising had the opportunity to share our story on @wethepeoplewkyc. We will have a single mom with her children reunited after being displaced in her newly renovated home for Christmas. It feels good to live and walk in your purpose. Check out the interview below. If you want to bless us this holiday season so we can continue to bridge mom’s and veterans out of homelessness, please donate to our website www.dnarising.net.

Youngstown here we come! Youngstown has truly shown what it looks like in true partnership when elected officials support community and organizations devoted to their health. This will be a model that can translated across the nation to decrease disparities and improve outcomes. The city’s support of our mission, and the time spent listening, hearing, and learning from VOH and translating to implementation has been nothing short of amazing. We are grateful for Mayor Brown and all the supporters that pushed for VOH. #wearethesolution #weallwegot
