Veteran Women of Influence was formed through the vision of two, former Air Force veterans, who are also mother and
daughter, Delores and Cynthia McCrea. After serving our country and returning home to be diagnosed with PTSD, both
struggled to find their footing and assimilating back into society. It was a rude awakening to find that there were so few
programs that served veteran women, especially when it came to housing. After experiencing homelessness, Cynthia
found out what it’s like to be left alone, with no assistance or guidance, yet still have the will to live and the desire to
chase your goals and dreams.
Therefore, in an effort to prevent other veteran women from enduring the hardships that come with homelessness,
Delores and Cynthia formed Veteran Women of Influence and opened up the doors of their home, located at 4306
Cook Street, in Saint Louis’ Central West End, to provide transitional housing to veteran women who need assistance,
guidance, and a safe place to lay their heads.
We strive to respect all
of our clients and ensure
to build mutually beneficial
relationships where there
is something for us both
to gain through the
exchange of information.
We genuinely serve
our clients with
compassion and empathy
as we try to understand
their plight and what they
go through on a daily
basis.
We are committed
to giving out clients
back the power to
take care of themselves
and stand on their
feet, through classes
and job opportunities.
We will always make
great efforts to stay
true to our vision,
mission and values
and provide our
clients with the
best, possible care.
