"When we were weeks away from losing our home, Xeon stepped in. The process was respectful, fast, and gave our family back its footing."

After a sudden layoff and a stack of missed mortgage payments, Angela reached out to Xeon Grant Foundation on a Wednesday. By the following Monday, she had a case reviewer walking her through the required documentation. Two weeks later, a housing stability grant was paid directly to her lender — and the family was back on solid ground.

"After twelve years of service, launching my own shop felt impossible. Xeon believed in the plan when banks wouldn't."

Marcos left active duty with a strong business plan and a stack of loan rejections. A $12,500 Veterans Small Business Grant covered equipment and first-quarter rent for his auto repair shop. Two years later, he employs three fellow veterans full-time.

Mei was working two jobs to pay for nursing school when the Education Grant lifted a significant portion of her semester costs. She graduated a year early and now works in pediatric care at a regional hospital.
