WAYPOINT GRIFFIN - A Sanctuary for Veterans


Hello, hello, hello.  Welcome back.  I pray that you all had a great and productive weekend.  Today, I want to share information with you about an organization that is near and dear to my heart.  This organization is headed by someone who truly knows what it is to have to work hard to get the things that you deserve as a veteran.  She works tirelessly helping other veterans, not just with their claims, but also with housing and job placement. 

In her own words:

“CEO of Waypoint Griffin, Sandra Brownlee (MSG- Retired), ‘What we know is that the difficulties many veterans face upon returning home from war do not stem entirely from the trauma they’ve suffered, but also from the individualist societies they must reintegrate into. Through Waypoint – Griffin, we are facilitating community for our warriors’ who have returned home’.”

I had the pleasure of meeting with her on Friday, and believe me I was not disappointed.  Her passion for helping veterans came through every word she spoke.  This passion was not only in her, but in her entire staff as well.  They all do what they do without receiving one dime for themselves.  All monies raised are used to help veterans.

And instead of resting on her laurels, Ms. Brownlee and her staff are already looking to the future and how they can be of even greater assistance.  She envisions a “one-stop” shop where veterans can live, receive career advisement, and job placement services all under one roof.  In their current facility they offer one-on-one claims and benefit filing assistance.  They go through your paperwork with a fine-tooth comb, ensuring that you have all the information needed to file a successful claim.  And again, these services are free to all veterans who are in need.  If you are just a bit “computer illiterate” they will help you with that as well.

Currently located in Griffin, GA, the goal of Waypoint is to expand their services throughout the State of Georgia.  And even though you may not be in the state or close to Griffin they are still willing to assist you.  Below is a card with Ms. Brownlee’s information and a link to their Facebook site.  I encourage any of you who will be transitioning soon or have already transitioned and are in need of assistance to reach out to them.  I promise you won’t be disappointed in the level of service that you receive from any member of the Waypoint staff.

I want to personally thank Ms. Brownlee for adding actions to her vision and providing a much needed service to veterans.  Ms. Brownlee, I salute you!!

As always, thank you for your support.

TTYL – Be blessed.
