The Veteran pictured came to us for much needed assistance. The Veteran has cancer and was living in his car with his significant other, his main caregiver, they had been living in the car for over a year and were out of options. The Veteran had heard about the work we do and was referred to us to for help. After review of his situation were were able to get him housed, give him gas and food money (they had not eaten in over 3 days) and connect him with other much needed services. After reviewing his Veteran profile we were able to get him a benefit called Aides and Attendance, a veteran benfit that is only available for certain Veterans that have served during war time, this benefit gave him an additional $500 per month so he could now afford his new apartment and not worry about being out on the street, he did not even know he was eligible for. Another great success story and we would not have been able to make happen without your help! Thank you so much for your much needed donations, they do make a difference!
