Fighting for the Homefront (feat. Maria Donnelly & Katy Stevick)

We thank them for their service — but do we understand their lives?Maria Donnelly and Katy Stevick join The Hometown Holler for a conversation about service, sacrifice, and the unseen struggles of America’s military families.As co-founders of the Military Family Foundation, Maria and Katy open up about life as Army spouses — from constant moves and financial strain to the resilience and community that hold it all together. They share how their personal experiences turned into a mission to reform how our nation supports the families who serve, revealing why so many military spouses face unemployment, food insecurity, and systemic barriers that could be fixed with simple policy changes.They also reflect on friendship, finding home wherever you land, and why community might just be the most powerful form of national defense we have.Connect with Katy and Maria at https://www.militaryfamilyfoundation.com/Help keep North Carolina hollerin’ — become a Friend of the Holler on Patreon today.
