Message from Our Executive Director

I'm thrilled to welcome you to our website!

In the vibrant heart of New Orleans, I, Teisha A. Goudeau, am fueled by an unyielding passion for advocating on behalf of veterans. Together with my husband, we are the driving force behind the impactful Goud Foundation Inc.

The genesis of Goud Foundation Inc. stems from a deeply personal journey. Witnessing my father, a dedicated military veteran, struggle to access the VA benefits he rightfully deserved ignited a fire within me. Seeing the plight of homeless veterans across the nation, I recognized the inadequacies of existing housing solutions. Our foundation advocates for a holistic approach because veterans deserve more than just temporary fixes – they deserve secure, inclusive housing, education, and comprehensive resources.

Giving back to my community is at the core of who I am. This dedication to community welfare propels my journey with Goud Foundation Inc.

Our mission at Goud Foundation Inc. is profound: to empower veterans through inclusive housing opportunities, education, and resources, to ensure an effortless transition to civilian life. This encapsulates our vision of making a tangible difference in the lives of veterans.

Looking ahead, I've set ambitious goals. My aim is to equip veterans with the tools they need to reintegrate into their daily lives, extending a supportive hand to those who have sacrificed for our nation's freedom.

I am the embodiment of New Orleans' resilient spirit – compassionate, committed, and dedicated to fostering positive change. One day at a time, I am reshaping my community and beyond, making a lasting impact.
