When it comes to making a difference in someone’s life, everything counts! Our project “A Heroes Helping Hand” has been fortunate to receive support from our GlobalGiving donors. We are very grateful for the continued assistance received by all of you during this year.
The needs of our program participants are many and critical. For example, this year our internal reports indicated that the clients we serve present the following issues:
• 94% HAVE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS
• 72% HAVE FAMILY ISSUES
• 76% ARE UNEMPLOYED
• 88% ARE HOMELESS OR AT-RISK OF BECOMING HOMELESS, and
• 49% HAVE PROBLEMS OBTAINING VA BENEFITS
With your support to our program, we were able to provide immediate assistance and help stabilize our heroes until we connect them to services or help them in reconnecting with their community.
This year, because of your donations, the grants from our funders and sponsors, we were able to:
1. Help 203 Veterans with rental assistance (an average of $570.00 per person)
2. Distribute 100 Walmart Gift cards (each one of 20.00 Dollar value)
3. Distribute 100 ATV Gas Cards (each one of 20.00 Dollar value)
We are proud to have you as our partner in this effort and we hope you continue to support us in changing lives and connecting communities.
