b'
In this episode of Women We Love Wednesday we spoke with Nadine Jones, the founder and director of the non-profit Love a Michigan Vet. Nadine grew up in a military family and has a passion for helping out local vets.
As with many things in life, often we take one path not knowing where it will lead us. Nadine\\u2019s path began at AmeriCorps where she worked with veterans to help them gain access to their benefits. She soon realized that there was often a long and difficult path for veteran\\u2019s to navigate the complicated bureaucracy of government offices.
The organization provides everything from shelter to mental health resources to local veterans. We discuss how the system can be overwhelming for many of them and why some end up on the streets. We also discuss the downsides of social media and giving back selflessly.
