Giving Season Extended by Meta!

November 15th – December 31st, 2022

Facebook/Meta’s new “Giving Season” extends from November 15 to December 31, 2022. During that time, Facebook/Meta will match up to $7 million in donations to Facebook Fundraisers that benefit charities like Help Hope Live. However, in 2022, Facebook/Meta will only match ONE donation per user, and the donation must be a recurring donation.

Please consider donating to VETOGA this giving season to help us reach our end of year goal of $5000 to sponsor 10 veterans to attend the 2023 VETOGA Wellness Retreat.

Help us fundraise on Facebook.

DONATE TO VETOGA’S MISSION

Antonio Williams

US Navy Veteran

Antonio is a graduate of VETOGA 200-hour teacher training in 2022. He completed his training with the veteran’s community in Los Angeles, ca teaching classes weekly to underserved vet with PTS(D) and disabilities. Now partnering with the VA Antonio has already gone on to take on a mentorship with one of the VA’s senior yoga teachers Mrs. Liza Ortiz this November and December. His mission is to be able to connect with veterans across the globe digitally; to serve vets with PTS(D)and depression and help hold space so they can be a part of this yoga practice we share.

“After failing 3 times to get my yoga teacher training done on my own, I found and turned to VETOGA after coming across them online. The VETOGA family reminded me what i set out on a mission for 3 years ago. It’s not just about teaching yoga it’s a way of being. Yoga for me is so intricate to my life and the foundation of who I am and want to become. Yoga has been my silver lining on times when it’s too hard to understand what’s going on. Yoga for me brings me a mental clarify and excitement that i can’t replace and that’s what i want to share with people. I didn’t find VETOGA, VETOGA found me again, it pulled me away from the edge and reminded me what yoga really means to me.”
