I would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Pittsburg State University social work student,Carrie Christopher, for dedicating her senior macro project to supporting local veterans. Her commitment, compassion, and hard work truly made a difference.

Through her project, Carrie raised $755, which she generously donated to Outside the Wire Veterans Foundation. Her efforts not only highlight the strength of our social work students but also show what happens when someone uses their talents to uplift our veteran community.

We are incredibly grateful for her dedication and for choosing OTW as the organization she wanted to support. Carrie, thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us continue serving those who have served our country.
