What People Say
I was offered the amazing opportunity (out of nowhere) to go on a snowboarding trip with 4 other women veterans in Aspen for 5 days. When I was offered this…I was in the middle of a horrible depression. This has given me something to be excited about especially when its been so difficult to be excited about anything. Words cannot express how grateful I am to TKEF! The snowboarding clinic could not have come at a better time. Thank you for selecting and treating me like royalty!! I look forward to many seasons of snowboarding.

What was so great about this was not being invisible. I’m married to a veteran and he’s gotten so many opportunities for veteran centric trips throughout the years. I’m always glad for him, but it’s still disheartening to not get to participate. It was nice to finally have a seat at the table no questions asked. From gear to clothes to food to lodging, it was all covered and freely given. I didn’t have to prove to anyone that I belonged or was worthy. It was so refreshing to have so many people in my corner and realize that I’m truly not alone.
