From homeless to hero — and maybe the cover of Maxim magazine?

Janae

Janae Sergio spent her high school years on the streets of Los Angeles, in and out of homeless shelters and programs for at-risk youth.

So, when the 36-year-old Navy veteran heard about a competition that donates money toward building homes for wounded warriors, she knew she wanted to take part.

“I know what it’s like to not have a home, so that’s really important to me,” she told Military Times.

Sergio, now an assistant business and financial manager for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, is vying for a spot on the cover of the international men’s magazine Maxim, a competition that comes with a $25,000 prize for the lucky winner — and the kind of platform that would give Sergio a voice to inspire young people living in similar circumstances.

Rags to riches? She now is out of uniform, but still working for Uncle Sam’s U.S. Pacific Fleet. Read more about this remarkable young woman in the Military Times

Should have mentioned- she’s happily married and the mother of two daughters. It’s OK to be appreciative, just show some respect, too. Here’s a link to Janae’s instagram account with some 41K followers.

    1. Doxing Boy is indisposed at the moment, something about a “For Rent” tat in a strategic location.

      1. I thought the tat might read “first come, first served”….. or maybe “weiner take all”… or maybe “the early convict gets the wormhole”.

  17. Um……………….what were we talking about? I seem to have lost my train of thought. Something about flags? Yeah, that’s it; flags!

  18. Okay all you pervs (and I mean that in a GOOD way) get on over to the site and vote for Janae. You can have one vote per day, or you can donate$. Every five bucks gives her another vote.

  19. HONORABLE discharge, good government job, good wife , mother of two and in possession of a pair of bilaterally symmetrical modified sweat glands .

    Again, a happy ending
