Our thoughts and prayers go out to all involved. Let's take a moment to remember those that put their lives on the line daily to keep up safe. Please, slow down! Remember, if something were to happen to you today, your employer would have you replaced before your obituary was published in the newspaper. I have spent several years working in that area. Every phone call needed you there yesterday. #dispatchers for #trucking companies, I urge you to adopt my phone #etiquette. I can understand that things come up and is out of everyone's control; however, I would get calls that said they needed this amount of water or mud hauled by tomorrow morning. My first question, "How long have you known about this job?" They have typically known about the job a week at least. My second question, "Why are you just now calling me?" Usually a bit of silence on the other end of the line. Me: "Failure to plan on your behalf does not constitute and emergency on my behalf." If you are one of those company men that had the privilege of dealing with me, I hope you are giving the trucking companies more of a heads up today. I will get your job done, but don't wait until the last possible minute to call and expect me to drop everything.

Something to think about
A decade after Breaux Burns deployed to the Philippines during Typhoon Haiyan’s landfall in 2013, he reflected on his experience. Burns, a Marine Corps veteran who now serves as a fire captain, has volunteered for six other international operations with TR since. "Our team worked tirelessly, with no breaks in between. But it didn’t matter. For each of us, it was never about our own hardships; it was always about the people of the Philippines, many of whom I’ll never forget." Join us in doubling down on our international efforts! Until the end of April, your donation will be matched by a generous donor, helping us expand our commitment to meeting the needs of communities worldwide. Donate Now! https://trusa.co/IntlMatch

There are over 100,000 Military Children in the UK with a parent actively serving in HM Armed Forces, yet there are a many people who have no idea what it is like to be a military child. It can be a tough life, with frequent moves and often living far away from family and friends. April is the Month of the Military Child and it is a time to celebrate them and their resilience and sacrifices. As well as highlighting how awesome these young people are, I want to take this opportunity to spread the word about some charities who support military children, these are... - Scotty’s Little Soldiers - who have given my girls huge amounts of support over the years since my late husband died. They provide amazingly for our bereaved Forces Children. It's not just the big things like respite breaks and parties, it's the small things, such as never forgetting the Death Anniversary and sending something for the girls birthdays and Christmas, which make such a difference. Plus, the charity provides a vital link to the military - which was a way of life for those pivotal early years. - Little Troopers - a fantastic organisation founded by Louise Fetigan to support all military children who have a parent(s) serving in the British Armed Forces, regular or reserve. - As a Royal Marine family I also want to shout out to The RMA charity who helped us out when Simon was alive through the RNRM Children’s Fund. In addition, since Simon died the Royal Marine family have looked after us and it’s now a true privilege to be a Trustee of the charity. Please share this post to spread the word about these amazing military charities. And, if you have been supported by these charities, I'd love you to share the positive effect it's had on your children to let others know where donations go. #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild #RainbowHunting

How Does the Citizen Charity Foundation Operate? In these challenging times for our country, as war brings numerous losses, we unite our efforts to assist our heroic military. Our Foundation aids severely wounded defenders, and thanks to the support of compassionate individuals and organizations, we can provide essential assistance. Here's a look at how we operate: 1?? DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS The largest part of our budget comes from donations from individuals. These are the caring Ukrainians who support our heroes with their contributions. Every hryvnia counts, and it is through these donations that we can continue our vital mission. 2?? SUPPORT FROM PARTNER FUNDS We actively collaborate with domestic and international partner funds that provide us with substantial financial support. These organizations share our values and strive to help those affected by the war. They enable us to pay for modern prosthetics and fund long-term rehabilitation. 3?? SUPPORT FROM UKRAINIAN BUSINESSES Domestic businesses also play a crucial role in our activities. Ukrainian companies provide us with financial assistance, organize charity events, and support us in various other ways. Through collective efforts, we can do more for our defenders. 4?? GRANTS In addition to donations and partner support, we also actively attract grant funds. These are special financial programs that allow us to implement large projects and expand our activities. Grants help us provide our military with the best prosthetics and comprehensive rehabilitation support. Each of these components is an integral part of our Foundation. We are grateful to everyone who supports us and helps us fulfill our mission. ??Together, we can do more for those who protect our Homeland! #SupportOurHeroes #CharityFoundation #TogetherWeAreStronger

Many of these #veterans and #military charities are highly efficient, but may not use your donation for between 3 and 17 years. If you are hoping to support the needs of veterans in the here and now versus in the distant future, you may want to take a look at our list. https://lnkd.in/gtxNyf8B #ratings #assets #nonprofits #donate #donations #hoarding #programs #donations

The top comment I hear from our Beyond The Brotherhood fellows as they onboard is "I am so glad there is a screening process". Why would someone want to be screened before receiving benefits from a 501c3? Because everyone raises money with the Navy SEAL name but that is not where the money usually goes. Ask around - it's true. At BTB, we transition ONLY screened and selected Navy SEALs of character. That's it. There is an administrative load, especially in our first year when we had to set up the 501c3 - our program percentage was 71%, that means that 71 cents of every donation dollar went to the cause. (In the non-profit world, 67% is considered really good). This year, we are at 89%. As we come into the giving season, hit me up if you want to know how we are spending your donations. We squeeze every bit of benefit out of every dollar and it goes where you think it does - to build the next chapter in the lives of our nation's greatest warriors.
