What Our Entrepreneurs Say

After serving two tours overseas, I came home with nowhere to go. Kevin Edmundson and the Viviscent Wellness Foundation gave me more than a roof over my head — they gave me dignity, stability, and hope. I finally feel like I belong again.

Sergeant David R.

U.S. Army Veteran

When I met Kevin, I was sleeping in my truck. He didn’t just see a struggling veteran; he saw my potential. Thanks to the housing and job training programs he created, I now have a home, a steady job, and a future worth fighting for.

Specialist James L.

U.S. National Guard Veteran

Kevin and I shared a dream: to make affordable housing a reality for every veteran and family struggling to find a safe place to call home. As a soldier, I learned the value of brotherhood, and Kevin carried that same spirit into our vision.
