Giving Tuesday 2024

As we approach the season of gratitude and giving, there’s a day that stands out as a beacon of hope and generosity—Giving Tuesday. This global movement, celebrated annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, encourages individuals and communities to transform their compassion into action. It’s a day dedicated to giving back, and this year, there’s a cause that truly deserves your attention and support: Invisible Warriors.

Invisible Warriors is a remarkable organization committed to uplifting women veterans who face the challenges of PTSD, MST (Military Sexual Trauma), and other invisible illnesses. These courageous women have served our country, yet many continue to fight silent battles long after their military service has ended. Through peer support, resources, workshops, and more, Invisible Warriors offers a lifeline to these veterans, helping them reclaim their lives and find strength in their shared experiences.

The Power of Peer Support and Resources

Invisible Warriors understands the unique struggles faced by women veterans. They provide a safe space where these women can connect with others who have walked similar paths. Through peer support groups, they offer a community of understanding, where veterans can share their stories without judgment and find solace in knowing they are not alone.

In addition to emotional support, Invisible Warriors equips these women with vital resources. From access to mental health services to educational workshops, they empower veterans to navigate their paths to healing and personal growth. By addressing the holistic needs of these women, Invisible Warriors fosters resilience and hope.

Workshops That Inspire and Heal

The workshops offered by Invisible Warriors are more than just educational sessions; they are transformative experiences. Tailored to address the specific needs of women veterans, these workshops cover a range of topics, including coping strategies, creative expression, and career development. They provide participants with practical tools and insights, enabling them to rebuild their lives with confidence and purpose.

A Gift That Gives Back: The 2025 Calendar

This Giving Tuesday, your generosity can have a profound impact. With a donation of $50 or more to Invisible Warriors, you’ll receive a beautiful 2025 calendar. This isn’t just any calendar—it’s a collection of artwork created by talented artists who have captured the essence of what it means to be an Invisible Warrior. Each piece of art reflects the strength, resilience, and hope that define these incredible women. By donating, you’re not only supporting a vital cause but also receiving a meaningful gift that celebrates the courage of women veterans.

Join the Movement

Your support on Giving Tuesday can make a world of difference for women veterans struggling with invisible wounds. By donating to Invisible Warriors, you’re investing in their healing journey and empowering them to thrive. Let’s stand together in solidarity and show our gratitude for their service by giving back in a way that truly matters.

Arts Contest 2023

by Sandee Rodriguez | Mar 19, 2024 | Events, Invisible Warriors

“A Day in the Life of an Invisible Warrior Arts” Contest 2023

Throughout the fall in 2023, friends of Invisible Warriors participated in our annual Arts Contest fundraiser by submitting a picture, poetry or an original composition for our theme, “A Day in the Life of an Invisible Warrior.” We would like to thank everyone who submitted an entry. Your support was much appreciated and your stories moved us.

Thank you to Julie Kozee’s mom who submitted an entry in honor of her Invisible Warrior daughter. Her picture of the lowering clouds over the hillside visualizes an Invisible Warrior’s day, beauty and change at the same time. We love the strength of her family supporting each other!

Big thanks to Elizabeth Pongo for her generous support and submission to the Arts Contest. She shared her thoughts in her entry: “I’m a firm supporter of healing in any way, shape or form. I also believe simple existence is an art, and very challenging at the same time. Nature and animals along with cold water plunges help me on my healing journey.” Her beautiful photos are featured in the post.

Thank you again. We appreciate you!

Comfort Inn & Suites Millbrook-Prattville, AL

by Sandee Rodriguez | Jul 12, 2023 | Hotel Heroes

Comfort Inn & Suites Millbrook-Prattville, AL

We have stayed in the same room now three times. This Comfort Inn & Suites is not a fancy hotel, but it’s clean, warm, and welcoming. The rooms and hotel itself are modern. It’s been recently refinished. Everything is brand-new, and there are no dings or dents. The beds are very comfortable, and the room is very accessible for my wheelchair. There are tons of stations available on the TV. They have a great hot breakfast.

The staff is VERY friendly and accommodating. It’s always the same staff; they now know us on sight. They put us in the same room without us asking for it.

They always welcome Warrior, the Invisible Warriors’ spokesdog and my service dog, with open arms. They even run errands that would be hard for me to accomplish on my own (like getting ice from the second-floor ice machine).

For their outstanding service and attention to their guests, Invisible Warriors is very pleased to honor Comfort Inn & Suites of Millbrook-Prattville, AL as a Hotel Hero!

by Sandee Rodriguez | Jul 12, 2023 | Lunch and Learn

July 2023 Lunch and Learn

Suffering from a chronic illness, invisible disability, or autoimmune disorder and living in Huntsville, AL? You’re not alone.

On the 4th Tuesday of each month, join a local Invisible Warriors peer support group for a Lunch & Learn at The Curry in Huntsville. Be a part of this safe space where women feel loved and supported, valuable and worthwhile. We talk about all the things life throws us, but in a kind and uplifting way — never moaning and groaning.

Each month features a different special guest and discussions and training about living with chronic illnesses and autoimmune disorders. For our July Lunch and Learn, we welcome Jessy Mixon, founder of My Hope Healer. Here’s how she describes what you can expect at our July session:

I will speak about the energy behind emotions and physical illness and how it can impact us mentally.

“Life is better when you are happy, but life is best when other people are happy because of you! Be an inspiration!” Unknown

This is my mission! My goal is to educate highly-sensitive and neurodiverse clients on being energetically conscious and supporting them in balancing frequency and vibration to optimize their personal and professional lives and, in return, making my clients happy.

I have more than 15 years of experience in education, energy work, and coaching. Once I received my Master of Science in Psychology, I began to transition my career from the classroom into biofeedback, career, and mental health coaching. Throughout my journey, there have been inspirational people who encouraged, motivated, and connected with me. Therefore, I want to inspire my clients and assist them to become an inspiration through the work that they do.I am blessed with the opportunity to set obtainable goals with my clients, educate them, and give them support so they are successful in all aspects of life that aligns to their passion with purpose and, most important, that the client finds the joy that brings about hope and true happiness.

Seats are limited. To reserve your seat for the June Huntsville Lunch and Learn, click HERE.
