Interview
Army Veteran (AD): Caren Evangelista
WWSMagazine: How long have you served? I have been in the service for almost 20 years. I joined in August 7, 1998 at age 17. WWSMagazine: Why did you decide to join the Armed Forces? Do you have family members who serve or have served? I wanted to take advantage of the military’s educational benefit - free tuition assistance towards getting higher education. I also wanted to travel for free & seek more opportunities. My eldest sister joined the Active duty Army as a medic, two years before I did. She completed an 8 year contract. WWSMagazine: When were you diagnosed with Leukemia? Does Leukemia run in your family? **I was diagnosed with Leukemia on February 1, 2018. Leukemia does not run in my family. I am the first one in the family to ever been diagnosed with Leukemia. WWSMagazine: Were there any symptoms? **The only symptoms I noticed was my body itch. My whole body was so itchy that it kept me awake at night. It was one of the strangest things I’ve ever experienced. Overall my daily activities were normal & live a healthy & balanced lifestyle.
WWSMagazine:What are 2-3 major challenges you've faced or currently facing? * My overall energy level has decreased. I usually go to the gym twice a day without ever grtting tired or fatigued. The gym is my other home. I can’t even exercise anymore because I have shortness of breath & I get fatigue fast just doing routine activities at home such as doing laundry, cleaning the house, etc. ** I’m not allowed to go back to work because my immune system is weak. The more stress I get the weaker my immune system will become and the medications I’m taking won’t be as effective. Hence, I rest most of the days at home. I’m no longer in control. I can get sick quickly once exposed to someone who is sick. ***I take medications. I was fit & healthy prior to having cancer. I was planning to compete in bodybuilding this year & was about to sign up for a competition locally. Now, instead of taking supplemental vitamins I take medications to survive. I don’t usually take any oral meds even when I’m in pain and tolerate the pain naturally until it goes away. WWSMagazine: Has your branch of service and or Command been understanding during this journey? Are they providing needed support? **My brach of service & Command have been very understanding. They have been providing me with the best resources I could get. My coworkers have become my extended family and they have been great to myself and my family. I want to commend them for their patience during my treatments. I am thankful and blessed to be in this Command. I’m very proud to serve with them and I cannot wait to heal and come back soon! continued on next page

WomenWhoServed Magazine Caren Evangelista-continued
Army Veteran (AD): Caren Evangelista
My name is Sergeant First Class Caren Evangelista. I was born in the Philippines and was raised in a small island of Guam. I’m 37 years old, single mother of two boys, Ethan (15 years old) and Calvin (13 years old). They both live with me and I love and enjoy spending quality time with them. I am currently battling cancer, Leukemia, a blood and bone marrow disease. I was diagnosed in February 2018 and following a treatment plan. Before cancer took place, I was and still am a huge fitness enthusiast. Initially, I was a marathoner and running long distances became my outlet for stress relief. I felt like I could run forever. In total, I ran 18 half marathons and four full marathon races. My fitness goal changed in 2015, that is, to become a bodybuilder. I just wanted to become stronger and transform my body with hopes of competing one day. While sharing my fitness journey, I did not realize I am also motivating others along the way, which also motivates me to keep going. I have always been a very curious type of a person. I wanted to see and know what is out there. I dreamt of the American dream. I wanted to see America, the land of the free. I just wanted to be different and not be the same as everyone else on the island. I wanted to leave and travel for free. I wanted to aspire, be inspired, and reach my potential. I thought joining the Army answered most of my curiosity in life. I have been in the Army for almost 20 years now. I joined the Guam Army National Guard at age seventeen as a medic. I was a parttime Soldier and a full-time civilian. My basic training was at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and my advanced individual training was at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Back then, I thought that this was the most daring adventure I have experienced. But there were more. It was just the beginning. Most of the highlights I had with the Guam Army National Guard as a medic was spent doing humanitarian services. The first one was after the Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana providing medical and dental support to those who were affected by the natural disaster. The effect of that mission gave me a purpose and true meaning on what the uniform and organization was all about. The generosity, team cohesion – were all aligned with my beliefs and values. That experience inspired and motivated me to stay in the military for as long as I could. Then, I was set off to another medical mission in the Philippines. I was honored to teach combat life saver courses in my native language, Tagalog, with the Philippine Army. The Filipinos were very grateful and I felt very appreciated. Next, I deployed in Djibouti, Horn of Africa as a senior medic for a whole year and was able to work with the French Army and learned local cultures. During those times, I was always invited to sing the US National Anthem. It was such an honor and humbling experience.
www.WomenVeteransMagazine.org
In 2010, I decided to transfer over to the Army Reserve for more opportunities. Every year, I would travel back and forth from Guam to Hawaii to work in Tripler Army Medical Hospital for three weeks. I would always volunteer to be assigned in the Emergency Department since that was the closest I could get to being in a combat zone. I loved my job as a medic. Then, I traveled to London, United Kingdom to participate in a Military Exchange Program and worked with the British Army Medical unit for three weeks. It was a phenomenal experience of a lifetime! In addition, I got picked up a couple of times to travel for free and run in the Army ten-miler in Washington, D.C. During all these military experiences, I was working as a full-time Program Analyst with the Navy. It came to a point that I was having a hard time balancing both my civilian and military careers. So, I decided to apply as a full-time Soldier in the Active Guard Reserve (AGR) program. I was immediately picked up as a recruiter in the AGR program. In 2014, my first assignment was in Santa Rosa, California. I knew that it was going to be challenging for my little family and myself – being in a new place, thousands of miles away from home, not knowing anybody, literally no family members nearby, while being a single parent. I did not expect that it would actually turn out quite an adventure experience. I traveled so many times. I gained a new family. In 2016, I was assigned to Deerfield, Illinois, which is my current job as a Healthcare (Medical) Recruiter. While serving as a part-time Soldier, I obtained my Associate’s degree in Healthcare Administration from American Public University System, Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from University of Phoenix, and Master’s degree in Human Resources from the University of Phoenix. My short-term goal is to defeat cancer and my long-term goal is to retire as a Sergeant Major in the Army.

Army Veteran Robin Harder
Robin Harder is the Founder and President of the Women Veterans of San Antonio (WVSA), a 501(c)(19) nonprofit Veteran membership organization. Robin first created the organization on social media in 2013 while she was still serving on active duty. The mission of the Women Veterans of San Antonio is to serve, honor, and empower women Veterans from all eras and branches of service. This is accomplished by providing women Veterans opportunities to network, socialize, volunteer, and giving back to the Veteran community all while bringing public awareness to the specific issues of women Veterans. Robin Harder is a 20-year Veteran of the U.S. Army. She served as a Russian and Spanish Cryptologic Linguist and was stationed at Fort Bragg; Fort Drum; Fort Meade; the Defense Language Institute (DLI) in Monterey, California twice; Wiesbaden Army Air Field in Germany; Brindisi, Italy; Fort Sam Houston; and Goodfellow AFB twice as a student and once as an Advanced Individual Training Instructor/Platoon Sergeant. Robin holds an MS in Nonprofit Management from Our Lady of the Lake University, and a BA in Women's Studies. She is also a 2018 Inductee into the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame. Robin has provided over 650 women Veterans in San Antonio and the surrounding communities with not only support, but also empowerment while experiencing a challenging reintegration into civilian life. This has been accomplished by affording members personal, meaningful interaction, and by connecting them to their communities through networking, volunteerism, and social activities. Robin and the WVSA has also become a touchstone for women Veterans in the community looking for other Veteran support organizations. Robin has made personal contacts with community Veteran support organizations (VSOs), and is able to support and uplift these VSOs by referring WVSA members to them and their services. Helping not only women Veterans, but those still serving on Active Duty, the Reserves, and National Guard, Robin has expanded outreach, engagement, and connection with homeless women Veterans in San Antonio. This has been accomplished through four consecutive years of partnering with the American GI Forum and their Veteran’s Day Stand Down, which provides homeless Veterans access to the services of more than 50 community agencies. Most of the services provided at the Stand Down are focused on the male Veteran. Robin and the WVSA focus their efforts on filling a specific void for female Veteran support. This is accomplished by providing resources, clothing, and much needed hygiene items to the homeless women Veterans in attendance at the Stand Down. www.WomenVeteransMagagazine.org

Robin Harder-continued
"Women Veterans of San Antonio"
Since 2014, the WVSA has provided over 400 homeless women Veterans hygiene items, individually sized bras and underwear, as well as supplies specific to the needs of women Veterans. Participation in the Stand Down has not only provided WVSA members with another avenue for bonding, socializing, and networking with other community partners, but also offers homeless women Veterans a stepping stone of reconnection and camaraderie that leads to more profound service engagement and eventually into self-sufficiency. In 2015, Robin spearheaded the efforts in getting the Women Veterans of San Antonio established as a nonprofit organization. In 2016, the WVSA was awarded their nonprofit status as a 501(c)(19) Veterans organization. Since the formation of the Women Veterans of San Antonio, Robin has created a space on social media for women Veterans. The WVSA can now be found on Meetup, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Robin also created and maintains the organization’s webpage: WomenVeteransOfSanAntonio.org. Women Veterans across Texas have reached out to Robin in the hopes of creating organizations in their towns that mirror the Women Veterans of San Antonio model. These opportunities are currently still being considered. As an Operation Enduring Freedom Combat Veteran, Robin has been a member of a local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post for over three years. She has become a bridge between the VFW and the Women Veterans of San Antonio. Robin has been the Jr. Vice Commander for VFW Post 7108 for the past two years and is a strong advocate for changing the image of the VFW into one that is more diverse, family friendly, and includes all generations of combat Veterans. Robin specifically focuses on educating and recruiting female Veterans who may otherwise disregard the Veterans of Foreign Wars due to their dated, misconceived image. Robin Harder saw a void in “Military City, USA” in regards to their support of women Veterans. So, she filled that void by creating the Women Veterans of San Antonio nonprofit organization. She also saw a lack of OIF/OEF Veteran support of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, so she joined the VFW in efforts to bridge that gap and bring in a more diverse membership to the diminishing organization. It cannot be denied that Robin’s heart lies with Veterans and their continued service engagement.

Kim Cross is a Navy veteran and small business owner who works for people with skin sensitivities by handcrafting goat's milk soaps, lotions, and 100% soy candles. Having struggled with psoriasis for over 20 years, she knows first hand how problematic it can be to achieve soft nourished skin without painful side effects from harsh chemicals. Coat Drive Description & Info: Kim and her husband Jeff -- also a Navy vet -- annually collect coats and other cold weather gear for local homeless veterans and their families. In two years they've successfully collected over 530 coats along with hats, scarves, gloves, socks, and even tee shirts to be dispersed in the Charlotte area, Greensboro, Kernersville, and northern South Carolina. The coat drive begins in October and runs through Thanksgiving weekend. Gently used warm coats and accessories in all sizes are accepted at several locations from as far away as Virginia to Western North Carolina to South Carolina; depending on who participates. All coats and accessories are packed up in individual bags with a "Note of love & care" from local elementary school kids. The final let is coordination with a field representative with the Health Care for Homeless Veterans Program to pick up the bags. "We get overwhelmed with coats at some point during the 2 months we are accepting coats, but it's SO heartwarming and encouraging to see the goodness still left in a world of so much chaos. I pray it's a good example to our kids to grow up with a giving heart and kind spirit."
Ways To Participate: In the Charlotte area - send an email to: mikidi3@gmail.com with "Coat Drive Participant" in the subject line to be added to the email that goes out in September with the details of the 2018 drive. Not local? Start a drive in your area or reach out to your local Health Care for Homeless Veterans Program. Start a movement to help end veteran homelessness!
