About Fresh Fire International Ministries Inc.
🔥 A CALL TO RESTORE WOMEN WHO SERVED
An Invitation to Those Called to Make a Lasting Impact
At Fresh Fire International Ministries, we encounter women veterans in places most will never see…
sleeping in cars… hiding in unsafe environments… carrying the weight of service and survival.
We offer meals.
We provide clothing.
We meet urgent needs.
But we know this truth:
Charity relieves a moment.
Legacy changes a life forever.
💔 THE REALITY THAT DEMANDS A RESPONSE
Across this nation, thousands of women who once defended our freedom
are now fighting for their own safety.
- Over 3,300 women veterans are homeless on any given night.
- Women veterans are more than twice as likely to experience homelessness as civilian women.
- Nearly 1 in 3 have experienced military sexual trauma.
- Many are survivors of violence, carrying wounds long after their service ends
These are not statistics.
These are women who said “yes” to serve…
and now have nowhere safe to go.
👑 THIS IS PERSONAL—AND THIS IS PURPOSE.
I am the wife of a 30-year disabled veteran.
I am the mother of a veteran.
I am family to those who served.
These women are not a project.
They are my responsibility.
🏡 INTRODUCING: FRESH FIRE RESTORATION VILLAGE
This is not another shelter.
This is a legacy project.
A restorative community.
A sacred response to a national need.
A place designed specifically for women veterans—
where safety is not questioned…
and dignity is restored.
🌿 WHAT YOUR GIVING BUILDS
Imagine being part of creating a place where:
- A woman no longer sleeps with fear as her covering
- A veteran is not retraumatized by the very system meant to help her
- Healing happens in an environment of peace, structure, and security
The village will include the following:
- A secure restoration facility
- Tiny homes for dignified, independent living
- 24/7 on-site security
- Trauma-informed counseling and support
- Financial literacy and life-skills training
- A walkable, peaceful community designed for healing and stability
This is not temporary relief.
This is transformation.
💎 FOR DONORS. FOR PHILANTHROPISTS. FOR LEGACY BUILDERS.
This is more than a donation opportunity.
This is a chance to:
- Fund restoration, not just relief
- Build something that will outlive you
- Be part of a solution that honors those who served
There are moments in time when generosity becomes history.
This is one of those moments.
🤝 A CALL TO PARTNER AT A HIGHER LEVEL
We are actively seeking:
- Major donors and philanthropists
- Grant funding partners
- Land and property contributors
- Strategic partners aligned with restoration and impact
Whether you give once… or build with us…
Your contribution becomes part of a legacy of restoration.
🔥 OUR DECLARATION
They stood on the front lines for us.
Now we must stand for them.
We will not allow women who served this nation to be forgotten, unsafe, or unseen.
