Life Changing Weekend 11-24-24 Helping the Homeless with The Streetlight

Thank you to my guest on The Life Changing Weekend, Tiffany Santana, Executive Director of Bethany House of Northern Virginia.  On a typical day 20,000 phone calls are placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide. Women between the ages of 18-24 are the most common victims of abuse by an intimate partner. Domestic violence affects people from all socioeconomic backgrounds, but individuals in lower-income households experience a slightly higher risk. 

Victims of intimate partner violence are at an increased risk of developing chronic pain, neurological disorders, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), high blood pressure, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. These victims are also at higher risk for developing addictions to alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs. 

Hear more from Tiffany Santana with host Tom Boone on The Life Changing Weekend.

Life Changing Weekend 11-17-24 Stopping Domestic Violence with Bethany House of NoVA

Coming up on The Life Changing Weekend, Emmy Award-winning journalist and PenFed Foundation President Andrea McCarren shares details on the Veteran Entrepreneur Program at PenFed and discusses how veterans can transition to business ownership.

Joining Andrea is West Point graduate and retired Green Beret Ryan Johnson.  Ryan is the co-founder of Bugle, a community outreach platform designed to change the world of volunteering and increase transparency in philanthropic giving.

Starting a successful business is challenging no matter who you are or where you live. After returning home after World War II, nearly 50% of military veterans started businesses. Unfortunately, that number is down to less than 5% today.  A new PenFed Foundation Study reveals the best cities to start a business as a veteran.  Visit www.penfeddoundation.org to learn more

PLUS, I chat with John Bentzinger of Canine Companions for Independence, a tremendous non-profit based in New York but will soon be opening a regional location in Virginia.  Canine Companions is leading the service dog industry so clients and their dogs can live with greater independence. They provide service dogs at no cost to adults, children and veterans with disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings.  Go to www.canine.org to learn more!
