SOSinc.org was begun in 2003. The journey since has been quite remarkable. It was founded by two incredible women that had the courage to do whatever they could to change people's lives for the better.
Gretna Carey and Veda MacGregor are two wonderful examples of what others can achieve when they make the decision to combine hard work with unstoppable passion. When these two women met, they realized that they shared many of the same goals, although their missions were different. They connected immediately and soon realized that they had something beautiful in common.
Upon recognizing their common goals, and the synergy of their missions, they decided to join forces. Because of the union of these two courageous and passionate women, help is on the way in the form of experiential training. Together, with a host of selfless volunteers, they are able to change people's lives by helping them identify what is holding them back, show them the solutions, teach them how to change, and provide tools that they can continue to use to create a life of real hope, unfiltered passion and true love.
Two organizations, Sircle of Safety and Zac’s Ridge, both with a mission to help others, merged into a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people and saving lives. As most people know, SOS is a well-known distress signal. Unfortunately, many people who should be sending out an SOS, aren't aware that there is help out there for them. Some of them don't even believe they are worthy of being rescued. SOS provides safe harbor for anyone in distress and believes every person deserves to live free and happy.
Together, Gretna and Veda are giants of the heart and soul, believing in freedom for everyone!
Connection: They are out to change the world. One heart at a time. And SOS, Inc. is the place where change begins.
Vision: To provide healing for teens and their families, and all individuals in need of help to find their value and gifts, so that they may change family legacies. We are in the process of adding training for people that serve on the front lines of our community and of our country.
Passion: Teach people to experience each other at a heart level. So they can learn to live their lives as if today was the only day they have left. Remember that life is a gift and it should be lived as such. Never leave anything undone. You may not get another chance.
Goal: Changing the heart of every man, woman child in need, teach them to break bad habits, show they that they deserve to be free.
Future Community Outreach: Provide one-on-one training to everyone, along with hope, help, and healing. And, in the near future, we will be able to provide women and children, who choose to remain free from their abuser, a safe haven to heal and training to live independently. This future training will help families understand why and how violence is perpetuated and how to break the cycle. We look forward to the day that we will be able to provide long-term, safe and secure housing along with a 1-2 year training and recovery program.
