Final Salute Inc. was founded by Jas Stevenson. Jas Stevenson and I met in Washington, DC at a women’s empowerment conference. I was immediately moved by the mission of this non-profit organization. Final Salute Inc. is dedicated to assisting homeless female veterans in obtaining safe, suitable housing and regaining their independence. Their mission is to provide homeless female Veterans with a place to call home. There are an estimated 13,000 homeless female Veterans nationwide.

Along her journey I have also experienced cancer and am a survivor of adenoid cystic carcinoma, an aggressive head neck and throat cancer. This mission moved me so much so that
Womanly Journey is teaming up with Final Salute Inc. to give back to female veterans of this country. Jas shared her personal story with us:
“My personal journey is rather unique. As a soldier, I always thought I was invincible. I was the one willing to sacrifice and help my fellow man, even if it meant putting me in harm’s way. My children would look at me and be proud of the strong woman their mother was.In 2005, I learn just invincible I wasn’t.
In August, 2005, I was preparing for deployment. I remember being told by a fellow Soldier that Louisiana was being hit by a major hurricane. At that time, I was in the U.S. Army Reserves in New Orleans. I watched on the TV as my son and I were losing everything we owned. It did not register in my mind that at that point in time, I was homeless.
I continued to focus on training for my deployment.The very next month, while still preparing to deploy, I started to feel very sick. I put off going to the doctor, as I did not want to leave my Soldiers. As my pain got worse, I eventually caved and went to see the Army Physician. He ran some test and ten days later, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 adenoid cystic carcinoma. I was devastated to learn that the form of cancer I had was an aggressive head neck and throat cancer. At this point I was broken, had zero self-esteem, and did not understand why God was doing this to me. God had a plan for me and needed me to experience loss. He needed me to experience what it was like to feel like you are alone. He needed me to know that I wasn’t exempt from anything any other woman experiences. He needed me get to my lowest point and feel hopeless. But most importantly, he needed me to survive!
My cancer treatment consisted of 2 surgeries and 30 radiation treatments. During this time I was hospitalized for 6 months. It took me several years to realize that the reason why God gave me a second chance, was to give other women a second chance; namely, my sister Veterans. This led me to found Final Salute Inc.
