Air Force Veteran Tireney Jones spent years trying to find work and get hired at H-E-B. Then she connected with Deonte Grant at Houston VA's Vocational Rebab Department.
He polished her resume, shared tips for standing out, and even went to H-E-B to speak on her behalf. Today, she's a stocker at a H-E-B just a few minutes from her home.
"At one point, I thought finding employment was a lost cause, but now I feel like my life has purpose," Jones said.
Houston VA Vocational Rehabilitation offers free career counseling, job search support, transitional work and supported employment to Veterans facing health-related barriers to work. Ask your primary care for a consult.

MEDVAMC Whole Health and Chaplain Services are offering a weekly Women's Virtual Spiritual Cohort. We will meet on Tuesdays from 12-1 pm from October 13 through November 24.
This spiritual community is open to female Veterans of all religious and spiritual backgrounds and is not based in a particular organized faith.
Gatherings will involve time for reflection, connection, and communal sharing about topics important to women Veterans’ spiritual life, such as balancing care for others and self, seeking a higher purpose, and connecting with community.
Our second to last session we will meet in person for a sound bath meditation in the Chapel, and virtual will be available for those who cannot come to the MEDVAMC.
To register for this group, please sign up at the following link: Women Veterans' Virtual Spiritual Support Community
