Honoring Our Military Spouses: A Day of Pampering

On May 26, in honor of Memorial Weekend, Hello Subaru of Valencia organized a Military Spouse Appreciation Event in partnership with the Santa Clarita Veterans Services Collaborative. The objective was simple: to honor the dedication and sacrifices made by military spouses by providing them with a day of pampering and gratitude. With the help of Anthony Vince Nail Spa, Hello offered wellness services to our Military Spouses, giving them complimentary manicures and pedicures, breakfast, lunch, and a gift bag. The news of the event spread quickly all over the Santa Clarita community and over 40 military spouses signed up, ready to experience a day dedicated solely to them. On the day of the event, the military spouses arrived and were greeted with smiles from the Hello Subaru staff, and they soon realized that this day was about more than just pampering. It was about acknowledging their unwavering support for our heroes. Laughter, stories, and experiences were shared, connecting and finding comfort in the company of others who understood their challenges. Overwhelmed with emotion, many spouses couldn’t help but share their heartfelt stories and testimonies with the Hello staff, filled with gratitude saying things such as “I want to thank you for giving the veterans wife treat that is so sweet, and wonderful for you to do that”. The event provided a platform for these spouses to open up, realizing they were not alone in their struggles. Their similar journeys formed an unbreakable bond, strengthening their spirits and igniting a sense of belonging within the military community. During the event, two veterans and one military spouse, unaware of the event, had come that morning seeking regular services at the nail spa. Through conversations, the staff at Hello realized their military status and decided to extend their appreciation by offering to cover the cost of their nail services. Their faces reflected their immense gratitude for this unexpected act of kindness. It was a moment that captured the essence of the event, an opportunity to give back to those who had given so much. The Military Spouse Appreciation Event left a heartfelt mark on all involved. The event’s success was measured by the connections made; the stories shared, and the sense of unity that blossomed within the military spouse community. Hello Subaru Valencia, could not have asked for a more rewarding outcome. The event was a testament to the power of appreciation and its impact on the lives of those who sacrifice silently in the shadows. We received many responses from our Military Spouses, sharing their gratitude for the event such as, “I want to thank you, and all involved for offering this special treatment for Military spouses. The pedicure and manicure were great and having breakfast and lunch provided was over the top! We appreciate YOUR appreciation of our military, whether they are active, retired or ones who have served in the past.” It was a day that celebrated the strength, resilience and unwavering love of military spouses. And above all, it was a day that showed how a simple act of kindness can make a profound difference in the lives of those who truly deserve it.
