Stephen Levi Carter, MBA, US Army Veteran and Founder of White Orchid Hospice is a Finalist for the 2021 Steve Grant for Veterans
The Steve Fund was established in honor of our founder and board chair’s brother, Steven Tadlock, a US Navy veteran and major small business investor and supporter who passed away June 2019. The fund made its first investments in 50 veterans who are running employer-based small businesses. Founders First is an organization of diverse business leaders and our mission is to help diverse-led companies grow through access to capital, curriculum and connections.
As a youth, Stephen dealt with the frustration, feelings of hopefulness, and the stress of serious illness watching his father’s untimely demise. Stephen’s father was a Air Force war veteran suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) turned to alcohol to numb the pain. Alcoholism, a disease that runs prevalent in his family, led to his father developing Cirrhosis of the Liver and later succumbing to the dreadful disease. His father’s sister became his full-time caregiver. Stephen watched as his Aunt made huge sacrifices to care for his father and try to comfort him in his last moments. The event was traumatic on everyone involved and took a huge toll on the family. His family didn’t understand the Hospice benefit and was not aware of it. This assistance would have made a world of difference to his family and his father and could have possible saved or extended his life.
Stephen would later join the military himself and serve in the US Army as a Combat Medic during Operation Desert Storm in Afghanistan. Again, Stephen would experience death first hand. Never had he seen so many grown men cry before. He would later experience more friends and family succumb to serious illnesses without the assistance needed to provide for a smooth transition for these special individuals.
