/PRNewswire/ -- The Independence Fund proudly presents "Beyond the
Call" luncheon, a fundraising event dedicated to honoring and
supporting the Caregivers of our nation's wounded Veterans. Join
the event on May 16, 2024, at

"We understand Caregivers play a vital role in supporting the
health and wellness of our Veterans," says Sarah Verardo, CEO of The Independence Fund.
"Our Beyond the Call luncheon will spotlight the impactful stories
of some of our nation's heroes behind the heroes and help us
continue providing connection and empowerment in caregiving through
small group retreats."
May is recognized as the Month of the Military Caregiver, a time
set aside to honor and highlight the critical role of those who
selflessly care for wounded, injured, and ill service members.
These individuals often balance numerous responsibilities, acting
simultaneously as Caregivers, providers, and advocates. May also
serves as Mental Health Awareness Month, emphasizing the
significance of supporting the mental health of Caregivers and
Veterans alike.
The Independence Fund recognizes the vital importance of
providing support through various services and programs, such as
our Caregiver program. This initiative offers respite and fosters
camaraderie for individuals who devote themselves to the daily care
of our Veterans. Through events like this luncheon, The
Independence Fund aims to spotlight these often-overlooked heroes
and raise funds to sustain programs that assist and uplift
caregivers.

Independence Fund deploys tangible programs to restore our
Veterans' and families' physical, spiritual, and emotional health.
