A "Veteran christmas story" mission!!
Last year during Christmas we were able to give away 25 gift cards to Toys R Us for veterans kids. We had put it out on social media what we were doing and we were flooded with so many families who were unable to provide their children with a Christmas and it was heart breaking. This year we had a mission and it was to change as many lives as we possibly could! Thanks to Jeff and all the other amazing companies who helped us we were able to provide so many families with a Christmas!!!
Loved the opportunity to speak to the Oklahoma American Legion on veterans day!

Another big thanks to Sandridge Energy and the Sandridge Energy Leadership Team I for putting together an amazing event to help a veteran. Michaels house is finished and this couldn't have happend to anyone more deserving!
SANDRIDGE ENERGY
Sandridge Energy is truly a company that supports veterans. Most companies give donations to different organizations which is amazing but Sandridge has gone far beyond that. I was contacted by Luke Wyckoff who works for Sandridge because they wanted to do an event for someone in their community and had heard about us and wanted to help a veteran. They were going to send a community team of 18 personal to help a veteran. The plan was to find a veteran and do something for his home. A lot of veterans only get so much support from the VA and because of their disability from wounds they suffered they are limited in doing things around their home. We had got in contact with a veteran in Moore Oklahoma. His name is Michael and he is a former Green Beret with four Purple Hearts and also the Bronze Star. Michaels home was damaged in the Moore tornado and unfortunately the contractor he had hired made his house worse leaving him with more work to do with his home and taking his money.
Sandridge brought in a inspector to see what needed to be done to his house and after the inspection they were told it would take upwards of $18,000 to fix his home. When Sandridge got the news they didn't stop and say "we need to find another veteran." They said "let's raise the money." When we heard the news we were completely shocked that Sandridge Energy was going to hold a event to raise the money for Michael. The event will be held November 20th. If you or your company is interested in coming you can contact us and we will give you all the details to sign up. Sandridge Energy is a premier, high-return, growth-oriented, resource conversion company. We truly thank Sandridge Energy for all that they do.
Thank you Luke Wyckoff and the Sandridge team for all that you do!

CHURCH ON THE MOVE
Church On The Move is a Church that truly supports veterans. Pastor Kruse and Pastor Vance held a event for veterans with their House 2 House groups. People sometimes don't realize how one small gift, word of encouragement, a thank you, or hand shake can change a veterans life. When veterans return home they feel abandoned and that everything they went through no one will know and they are left to battle it alone.
They had a great cookout and fellowship and I can tell you that lives were changed. Over half the veterans that came told me "they did this all for us? Why would they do this?" I told them "all these people are here for you guys. They are here to thank you for the sacrifice you made to protect our freedom." One veteran took a deep breath to hold down his tears. Wounded Veterans Of Oklahoma will always be grateful to Church On The Move.
Thank you for giving back to those who gave so much.
