Veterans Assistance Fund

Every day Veterans come back from war and horrible conditions and are scarred for life by what they have experienced and what they have to live with on a regular basis. Acclimating back into civilian life becomes difficult, where everything was taken care of for the Veteran, housing, clothing, work, all become things the Veteran must now deal with for themselves that coupled with the mental anguish of war makes it impossible for most Veterans to cope.

Your donation no matter how small can buy food, pay an electric bill, get their hair cut, pay an electric bill, help them find housing, so no donation goes unused. Veterans struggle daily no matter how old they are and what they have experienced.

The Veteran pictured here was about to lose his home due to the fact he needed a new roof, he has a reverse mortgage but under the terms of the reverse mortgage he must be able to manage the upkeep on his house. His wife had just passed away and he did not have the funds to replace the roof and was about to become homeless due to foreclosure paperwork that the bank had started because of the roof needing to be replaced. With the help of the Veteran's Assistance Fund we were able to replace his roof and keep him housed. Thank you again for your support, your donations do make a difference!

We take many things for granted, having a safe place to live, food to eat, and the ability to get around with our own two feet, but what if you woke up one day and all of that was gone? What if you woke up and  you did not know where you were and to add more confusion to the situation, you looked down and you were missing a leg?  The Veteran pictured experienced just that. He had gone to the emergency room with a cut on his leg that had become infected, the next thing he knew he was missing a leg and he woke up in a rehab center a few months later. When he was discharged he had no where to go as since he was hospitalized and when he woke up months had passed and his place of residence where he was renting had evicted him without any knowledge of where he had been all of this time, so he lost his place to live and all of his belongings.

When we received the phone call of this Veteran in need he had paid for a few nights stay at a hotel but was about to be thrown out on the street because he could not pay to stay there anymore as his social security income was not very much and he could no longer drive a Truck, which was his part time job until this happened. As soon as we received his information we called him and started to try and get him housed. While we are waiting to find permanent housing we have been paying for his stay at the same local hotel which is not far from our local VA Clinic where he will be fitted with his new leg and be able to go through physical therapy. The donations we have received have help to keep him housed, give him food and transportation to and from the VA, once a permanent home is found the donations will go to help pay for his deposits and rent for the first month. The donations we receive from this fund do make a difference and help to change people's lives! Thanks for all of those who support this fund!
