Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia Courtesy of Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia Volunteers from the USS Thomas Hudner helped home bound seniors in our CARES (Community Assistance and Resources for Seniors) program with much needed yard work and maintenance.

Kerry O’Donnell, Director of Development & Marketing, Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia

Catholic Charites of Eastern Virginia (CCEVA) works to strengthen families throughout Eastern Virginia by pro-

Priscilla’s Providing as a Veteran and Single Mother. “ I am a Navy veteran. I was honorably discharged after serving my country for four years. I’m a single mom to two girls. My husband and I split up a few years ago and unfortunately I don’t receive any support.

I want to work hard and earn a living, but right now my daughters’ school schedules don’t allow it. I do everything I can to make the most of the few hours she is in school – I clean homes, landscape lawns; anything to make a little money. There have been times when I didn’t eat so my daughters could.

As a veteran, it’s really tough to ask for help. The Navy taught me to be independent. My daughters were the only reason I ended up asking for assistance.

By giving us food, the pantry restored a sense of normalcy to our lives and gave us the strength and inspiration we needed to keep reaching for a better day.

viding programs and services such as pregnancy support and free baby assistance, mental health counseling, and services designed to help seniors remain in their own homes. Each year, CCEVA serves more than 6,500 families, most of whom are poor or working poor who struggle each day. This past year, Catholic Charities was blessed to have the support of military volunteers throughout the year.

Throughout Hampton Roads, many seniors in our community want to maintain their independence, but sadly can no longer drive or complete daily tasks that were once easily achieved. Mowing the grass, maintaining the yard, and changing light bulbs are routine tasks that many seniors cannot safely over to hire help.

This past year, volunteers from the USS Thomas Hudner rolled up their sleeves and helped home bound seniors in our CARES (Community Assistance and Resources for Seniors) program with much needed yard work and maintenance. Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia’s CARES program matches seniors with community vol-

unteers who provide free transportation to medical appointments, shopping and other errands. The program also provides volunteers for minor home repair and yard work. Finding volunteers to help with yard work for these older adults was a challenge until we made a connection with area military commands.

Catholic Charities was also blessed to have the help of LS2 Brad McIsaac and sailors from the NAVSUP Fleet Logistic Center at the Norfolk Naval Base who recently volunteered their time and talent to clean up and landscape outside of our Princess Anne dous difference and have helped welcome the many clients that we service Catholic Charities is grateful for all of our military volunteers who donate their time and dedication to helping those in most need in our community.

CCEVA would not be successful in its work without their help and support.

NAS Norfolk Beech King Air commands, his military leadership and management philosophy had emphasized results-oriented planning, high performance productivity, human resource management, and a return on investment.

His vast leadership experience in the military had positioned John to make a difference in his community as well. When two of his friends were diagnosed with diabetes in 2006, John found his motivation to take action.

“I realized that my dad’s generation had cured polio, smallpox and other diseases and my generation – the baby boomers – had created a lot of pharmaceutical products, but we had not cured anything,” John said. “That epiphany drove me to translate my passion for cycling into ‘Cranking for a Cure’, a mission that could eliminate a chronic disease like diabetes.”

John discovered the Association’s Tour de Cure cycling event, and knowing that diabetes is currently a chronic disease with no cure, the team has been riding and growing since 2006.

Since their start, the team’s size has exploded, but with that growth, the team has also seen the same national with a third of the team’s riders either

of cycling for cardiovascular health and have made dietary changes and achieved weight loss to reverse the onset of diabetes.

The team rides year-round, using weekend training rides supported

by Portsmouth’s Cycle Classics bike shop and regional cycling events to keep their cyclists, of all genders, ages and abilities, engaged in an exercise that individuals can do their entire lives. With more than $650,000 raised for diabetes and other worthy causes, Team Portsmouth is committheir lifetime.

In 2018, 106 of the ADA’s 1000 Tour de Cure riders wore Team Portsmouth jerseys. John’s goal is to make the 2019 Tour de Cure and Team Portsmouth even more successful, with more funds raised for diabetes advocacy, research, and education efforts.

“I do believe that we as individuals have a responsibility to make a difference in society,” John said. “I’m not a Bill Gates who can write a check for a million dollars, but I know how to build a ridership that can raise a lot of funds for this most worthy cause!”

The Association’s Tour de Cure event occurs each spring, and includes an experience for everyone, with cycling distances of 12, 30, 63, and 100 miles; as well as a 5k run and walk option.
