50 days, 50 states, 50 veterans šŗšøā¤ļø
I went back to see Edā¦ the 88 year old veteran you all helped retire. We were just sitting there talking, and one thing kept coming upā¦
He wasnāt the only one. There are so many veterans out there still struggling. Whether theyāre losing their home, battling cancer, working at 88 just like Ed.
So weāre going to try do something about it.
This is Military Appreciation Month, so weāre heading across America to meet 50 veterans/their families and hear their stories.
Ed didnāt just want to sit back eitherā¦
heās giving $1,000 to each of these incredible stories.
Letās do thisā¦ first video dropping 9AM PT/MIDDAY EST TOMORROW ā¤ļø

This is my story. š„¹
I was bullied. I felt different. I lost my safe place when I lost my Aunty Rosie. I hid my pain behind smiles and laughter, but insideā¦ I was broken. š
Then I discovered something powerful.. kindness saves lives. It saved mine. Take the 7-Day Kindness Challenge. Link in bio š¤
A MILLION DOLLARS raised in 12 days. šŗšøā¤ļø @gofundme
I honestly canāt believe Iām even writing that.
12 days ago, we started travelling across America with one goal:
Help one Veteran in every state. Since then, weāve met Veterans battling terminal cancer, elderly men still working into their 80s, families losing homes, and people silently carrying pain while feeling forgotten by the world š
And somehowā¦ millions of strangers came together to change their lives.
This mission means so much more to me than money.
When I was younger I lost my aunty Rosie to suicide. Ever since then, I think Iāve carried this deep feeling of wanting people to feel seen, loved, and cared forā¦ especially during their darkest moments.
Because I know how heavy life can feel.
So seeing this community raise over one million dollars for Veterans and their families in just 12 days has honestly changed me forever.
This is what social media should be about. People coming together to remind other people they are not alone š„¹
