Changing "Giving" to "Going"
"It’s about being thankful" and giving blessings. The Hotes Foundation continued the tradition of personally delivering 300 complete Thanksgiving meals to the YWCA Seattle, an organization focused on eliminating racism and empowering women. The meals will be given to families, single mothers, and homeless women living in poverty or have experienced violence. The Thanksgiving dinners come with a 10-13 pound turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, gravy, stuffing, dinner roles, pie, and sparkling apple cider.
Happy Thanksgiving and God bless!
Thanks, prayers, and all-terrain Track Chairs are items Richard Hotes brought to the home of retired U.S. Air Force Sgt. Larry ‘Coop’ Cooper.
Coop was 19 years old when a Huey Gunship exploded above him in the Vietnam War, crushing his lower back, knees and legs. Although he was initially diagnosed with a temporary wound, Coop has undergone 20 surgeries since the injury, including an operation that fused his left leg straight to avoid amputation. It’s our hope that his new track chair will bring mobility and independence to improve his life.
To honor all those who have served this Veteran’s Day, we’re telling the stories of our heroic veterans - the ones who fought, and continue to fight, for our freedom. Over 10 million veterans in America suffer from a service-related disability.
