Hello friends! I'm BillieJo. I'm a wife and mother of four. Three of my four children are military. My oldest son is a veteran of the Army. My middle son is an active duty Marine. My youngest son is an active duty Airman with the AirForce.
Recently I found myself at an American Legion. I was allowed the privilege to sit in during their meeting. I was incredibly moved by their acts of service. I had no idea what the American Legion did until that meeting. They not only offer a wonderful support system to our Veterans, they also help navigate the trying world of the VA. Specifically, they help veterans get and receive the care they need.
As a mother of a disabled veteran, I was incredibly moved by these generous acts of service. The American Legion helps coordinate transportation and care so our Veterans can receive benefits and care. Sometimes they even travel to Washington DC to ensure our vets are getting what they need.
Sitting there listening to all the things they were doing to help their brothers/sisters in arms, I was moved to tears. How can I help? How can I make a difference? What if it's my son who needs help? How can I give back to show my appreciation that such a wonderful program exists???
That's how BillieTreks4Vets was born. I'm an avid hiker. I love everything about it. All my free time is spent somewhere on some mountain. Now I hike for a cause! I hike to raise money to help veterans receive the care they need. All proceeds benefit The American Legion Acts of Service.
Every month I hike to a specific destination in honor of a service member and post it to various social media outlets. I hike for Active duty, Reserved members, Veterans, and those who gave all. You call follow me on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Join me as we honor our military!
Thank you so much for choosing my cause! I hope by climbing a mountain, I can move a mountain for a Veteran in need!
Many Blessings!
