Veterans Assistance Fund

PTSD affects everyone, but Veterans that have been involved in a conflict  and have seen the horrors of WAR have more than a difficult time returning to civilian life. The Veteran pictured was in Bosnia in 1994 when the bombings happened and witnessed the Ethnic Cleansing first hand. For years she tried to cope and went from job to job and place to place when she was released from the Military and the nightmares and the flashbacks continued and eventually destroyed her marriage.

She became homeless 2 years ago and was living in her car, because she is unable to work and her income is very limited as the VA only has her at 50% disability (PTSD is one of the hardest invisible disabilities to diagnose and treat) she did not make enough money to sustain an apartment, buy food and keep her car on the road. Because of the Veterans Assistance fund when we got the call for help we were able to place her in housing at a very discounted price which includes all utilities in a safe neighborhood, so she is able to breathe freely and hopefully start her recovery. Recovery requires having the ability to feel safe and not worry about the everyday issues that had her in a panic daily, such as a roof over her head, food and how to pay her car insurance, with finding a safe place to live, due to the Veterans Assistance Fund, we wish her peace and recovery. Thank you for your continued support, your donations do make a difference!
