Hand Up To Victory

Today we honor those that sacrificed everything to protect the freedoms of this great country! 🇺🇸 Thank you to those men and women that served and currently serve to keep us safe and secure every single day. At Hand Up To Victory, we are especially grateful for the veterans we’ve had the privilege to walk alongside as they rebuild their lives in recovery, stability and purpose. 💯🇺🇸

Happy Mother’s Day from Hand Up To Victory!
Today we honor every mother, grandmother, stepmom, foster mom, and mother figure who has loved, prayed, sacrificed, and kept believing — even through hard seasons.

We also recognize the moms in recovery, the moms working to rebuild their lives, and the moms still fighting to become everything God created them to be. Your story is not over, and your love matters more than you know.

To every woman who has carried someone through the storm: we see you, we honor you, and we thank God for you.

Happy Mother’s Day. 💐

What an amazing opportunity today with Manatee Connects at Manatee Community Foundation! Megan Howell from Second Heart Homes, Inc. gave an incredible session on Strategic Clarity in Uncertain Times. Definitely a powerful, fun, and inspiring message 🙌🏻. She even shared some origami skills 💖

Thank you so much to everyone that participated & donated during the 2026 Giving Challenge!! Because of you we were able to raise $46,680 including the match!!
This isn’t just a number—it represents lives that will be changed…& right now, that matters more than ever. The need for our services has grown so much that simply answering the calls for help has become a two-person, full-time effort.
Your generosity means we don’t have to let those calls go unanswered, & we can respond with some type of answer or solution for everyone that reaches out to us!
No pics from this year, our team worked behind the scenes morning to night to make the most out of this huge opportunity that comes once every two years! We are truly grateful for you!

Today we so proud of Justin Rathburn as he celebrates 2 years clean & sober!! Whenever Justin reached out for help, we were there. This time he had the gift of desparation, & is achieving his full potential we knew was inside him all along!  Justin is a man of God, husband and father. He had a leadership role in his Recovery home before moving out with his wife and their children. He has a thriving career in welding & makes it his mission to help other men overcome their addictions and move forward with their life!
We are so happy for you, congratulations on this huge accomplishment 🙌🏻
