Mission Statement
Keep Being Resilient (KBR) supports Veterans, Service Members, First Responders, and Gold Star Families through mentorship, resource access, and heart-centered events. We provide meaningful opportunities for connection, healing, and growth—honoring the life and legacy of SPC Keith B. Richard by serving families who are navigating grief, hardship, and transition.

We envision a strong and compassionate community where no one walks alone. Through volunteer-driven support and family-centered events, KBR creates spaces where relationships grow, friendships form, and new connections become family. Whether in Fayetteville, North Carolina, or across the nation, we walk together in resilience.
The first step begins with connection.
At Keep Being Resilient (KBR), we believe that lasting support begins with relationships rooted in trust and compassion. Our dedicated team of volunteers is here to walk alongside you and your family, recognizing that healing and growth are shared journeys—not individual experiences.
We offer guidance, resource support, and meaningful connection to help you navigate life’s transitions with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re facing grief, hardship, or simply seeking a stronger support network, we are here to help you focus on your values, goals, and inner strength.
We honor the uniqueness of every family and strive to offer inclusive, family-centered resources for spouses, children, caregivers, and loved ones. At KBR, there is something for everyone, because we believe no one should be left behind on their journey to healing and wholeness.
We also welcome referrals to additional support networks and are committed to collaborating with others who serve this community with integrity and heart.

WHAT'S HAPPENING
Our Origins and Heartbeat
Gold Star Families were the foundation of this mission. They were the reason this organization was born—to honor the lives of our fallen and support the families who continue to carry their legacy forward with courage and grace.
As we grew, so did the community around us. Families and individuals who didn’t fit within the traditional Gold Star designation began showing up—quietly, powerfully, and often unexpectedly. They weren’t in the handbook. Their needs weren’t always named. But their stories, their grief, and their resilience were just as real.
You don’t always see them—until they touch your life.
This organization exists for that very reason: because support and strength are not issued. They are built. They are offered. They are shared through connection and commitment.
With more than a decade of service in Veteran, Military, and Community organizations, and deeply shaped by my time at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), I have witnessed firsthand the power of grassroots leadership and volunteerism. Those years prepared me for this moment—to build something meaningful, inclusive, and rooted in love.
Keep Being Resilient was created because I believe in this mission with my whole heart. I believe in honoring our fallen while showing up for the living. I believe in creating space for healing, service, and lifelong connection.
And I believe—we are just getting started.
