WALK FOR VETERANS

The Camino (short for Camino de Santiago) is an ancient walking pilgrimage from France to Spain that has been traveled for over a thousand years. People from all over the world walk the Camino for many reasons—faith, reflection, healing, clarity, gratitude, and often a deep desire to slow down and listen.

It is not a race. It is not a vacation. 

The Camino is a journey of over 500 miles, taken one step at a time—sometimes quiet, sometimes challenging, but always meaningful. Along the way, strangers become friends, stories are shared, and hearts are reminded that none of us are meant to walk alone. This is what Let's Be Friends Community is all about.

As the founder of Let’s Be Friends Community, God has called me to walk this journey not for myself, but as an offering of service. This mission is deeply on my heart. Because this community is part of who I am, I feel called to commit to walking these 500 miles—using my own steps and my own money to serve our veterans, bring awareness to their needs, and invite others to walk with us to help Let's Be Friends Community's mission.

While we think globally; we serve locally in our communities in the NWGeorgia to make an impact.

That calling is what inspired our 2026 Heart & Sole Fundraising Campaign. This journey is both a personal faith walk and a mission-driven effort to shine light on isolation, strengthen friendships, and support our Veterans through community connection and care.

Every mile I trained and walked represents heart, purpose, and hope—for Veterans, for neighbors, and for anyone who may be quietly struggling with loneliness. My training begins NOW! 

Through the Heart & Sole Campaign, we are choosing compassion over isolation and friendship over silence—walking heart to heart, step by step, together.

If you feel led to support this 500-mile journey—through donations, volunteering, or sharing encouragement and sharing this journey with others; you are actively supporting this journey with us—you are helping us remind Veterans and neighbors alike that no one has to walk alone.

💗 Together, We Can Create Awareness and Combat Loneliness 💗

Loneliness is something many people carry quietly—veterans, neighbors, seniors, caregivers, and friends who just need a place to belong. At Let’s Be Friends Community, we exist to remind people they are seen, valued, and not alone.
