Welton Crow’s journey is about making a difference from his days in the US Air Force to a 17-year stint at Marathon Petroleum Corp. With a maintenance management background and a childhood filled with helping seniors alongside his father, Crow is thrilled to continue helping others through Caring Transitions’ mission. Now, he’s channeling all that goodness into Caring Transitions.

“Any type of relocation for a senior is challenging,” Crow conceded. “With a bit of compassion and a helping hand, we can make this journey a lot easier for them. That’s what drew me to Caring Transitions. It’s all about making a difference.”

A family-run venture, Caring Transitions of Friendswood is not just a business; it’s a reflection of the Crow family’s commitment to helping others. With deep roots in the community, they understand the area’s needs. They’re ready to ensure that no family navigates the demanding journey of downsizing or senior relocation alone.

“Caring Transitions is more than just a service; it’s a companion in times of change. Our goal is to provide a personalized experience, ensuring every transition is smooth, respectful, and tailored to the individual’s unique needs,” said Jordan Crow, daughter of Welton Crow and Caring Transitions of Friendswood lead consultant.

Caring Transitions of Friendswood serves Webster, Seabrook, Kemah, Clear Lake Shores, Friendswood, Pasadena, Nassau Bay, and Houston. Caring Transitions currently has more than 300 franchise locations serving families across the country.

“The Crows will make a huge impact on the community by providing top-tier transition services from decluttering a room to helping families move their loved ones into a senior community,” said Ray Fabik, President of Caring Transitions. “Welton’s management experience and the family’s passion to serve their community make them perfect franchise owners. The Friendswood community and surrounding areas are in great hands with the Crows.”

Phycin, Inc. Receives MSCRF/TEDCO Grant to Propel Algae-Based Recombinant Growth Factors for Regenerative Medicine

Leave a comment


Dr. Wang, with over 25 years of expertise in algae biotech research, notes, “Nobody else is doing this. The mainstream production platform for growth factors relies on either bacteria or mammalian cells. Algae are inherently sustainable and devoid of potential human pathogen risks, such as prion.”
In addition to serving the stem cell community, Phycin provides affordable, algae-derived food-grade growth factors to support the emerging cultivated meat and seafood industry, including species-specific growth factors.
Furthermore, Phycin is developing regenerative therapies for wound care utilizing the stability-enhanced growth factors produced in green algae. Dr. Jun Wang adds, “All our endeavors are based on our synthetic biology-powered algae expression platform.”

Phycin’s algae-sourced growth factors offer four distinct benefits for users:

  •     Affordable
  •     Endotoxin-free
  •     Free of animal and human components
  •     Highly active

Growth factors can cost over one million dollars per gram, which can be prohibitively expensive for research and manufacturing operations. Phycin’s mission to revolutionize the production of growth factors aligns with TEDCO and MSCRF’s commitment to fostering innovation, scientific progress, and economic development.

Dr. Wang expresses gratitude, stating, “We are extremely grateful to MSCRF, TEDCO, and FITCI for their support, including our advisors on FITCI’s Strategic Growth & Advisory Board, especially Dr. Jon Rowley of RoosterBio. This grant represents a significant milestone in our journey. Algae-based growth factors hold immense potential for revolutionizing industry and addressing some pressing challenges of quality and sustainability.”

About Phycin: Phycin is dedicated to leveraging the power of algae to revolutionize growth factor production. The growth factors derived from algae are highly potent, cost-effective, and free of both pathogen risks and endotoxin contamination, ensuring utmost safety.

VetCents Re-Launches to Improve Financial Health of America’s Veterans

Leave a comment


“The Veterans Benefits Banking Program launched in 2019 to provide Veterans, beneficiaries, and caregivers with a safe, reliable, and inexpensive way to access their monetary benefits,” said Major General (Ret.) Steven J. Lepper, American Military Banks of America president and CEO. “What started with four financial institutions has grown to 86 and counting.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs, a founding partner of VBBP, shared how VBBP brought to light other financial issues unique to the Veteran community. VA Secretary McDonough: “Veterans deserve to get their benefits in the safest, most secure way possible — and that’s what the Veterans Benefits Banking Program delivers. Expanding this great program, to include financial counseling and education, will have a real impact on Veterans’ lives [by] helping protect and grow the benefits they’ve earned.”

The partnership behind VetCents includes financial wellness provider LifeCents who created the customized financial health platform for Veterans, beneficiaries, and caregivers to access financial wellness tools and resources.

“VetCents is a next-generation approach to improve access for Veterans, beneficiaries, and caregivers to the myriad of benefits available to them through the VA,” said Blake Allison, CEO and Founder, LifeCents. “It also offers an interactive and engaging experience that is designed specifically to help Veterans and their families improve their financial well-being and achieve financial security.”

Wells Fargo Foundation, a key supporter of VBBP and now VetCents, leveraged its experience and success in creating financial wellness programs for niche and marginalized communities.

“Supporting VetCents was a perfect fit with Wells Fargo’s goal to strengthen the financial health of our nation’s Veterans,” said Bonnie Wallace, head of Financial Health Philanthropy, Wells Fargo Foundation. “VBBP and VetCents can directly address the wide array of financial stressors that the Veteran community faces and connect them to the resources and support needed to improve their financial situations.”

In addition to encouraging banks of all sizes to join the VBBP program, the American Bankers Association Foundation serves as the 501(c)(3) nonprofit fiscal sponsor for managing donations that fund the VBBP.

“We’re proud to support the VBBP which is making a real difference in the lives of Veterans,” said Lindsay Torrico, executive director of the ABA Foundation. “We are also excited about the opportunity to get more of America’s banks involved in this important work. Adding the VetCents initiative will help in that effort.”
