The Disabled Veterans National Foundation (http://www.dvnf.org), a non-profit veterans service organization that focuses on helping men and women who serve and return home wounded or sick after defending our safety and our freedom, has provided more than $16 million in cash and supplies to veterans in need. DVNF is now asking veterans who have been helped by these programs to give feedback to DVNF…. Tell us your story.
Direct veterans feedback and veterans' stories about how t women's coats he DVNF assistance has helped them in their daily lives will go to further designing the existing DVNF programs to better suit veterans in need. The testimonials are an important tool to hear directly from the men and women who have served the country but now are not finding the help they require to move on with their personal and professional lives.
"So much of what we do combines direct financial grants and assistance with educational programs such as our free employment webinar series as well as shipping needed supplies to veterans service groups around the country," said Raegan Rivers, Chief Administrative Officer of DVNF.
Here is just one testimonial from a veteran who was facing difficulty, Cam H. –U.S. Marines/U.S. Army veteran. Cam was a decorated veteran who served as a Marine in the Gulf War, and afterwards, continued his service to the U.S. Military in the Army National Guard. During the winter months, he found himself in a bind. He was not able to work due to a recent surgery and bills began to pile up. He was living in an old house with his family, and the house was unfortunately not very energy efficient.
To make matters worse, his young son had just undergone a major heart surgery, and for him to get sick could have been potentially fatal.
"Gas and electric bills were burying me deeper and deeper and I just couldn't seem to get them caught up or paid on time. My son couldn't afford to get sick because an infection would attack his heart," Cam said.
Cam turned to DVNF as a last resort. Understanding his dire need, DVNF paid his gas and electric bills so he and his family could make it through the winter, also allowing time for Cam and his son's health to improve.
"Thank you so very much. You foundation helped me and my family when we need help the most. Thank you again; I just can't say that enough!"
The Disabled Veterans National Foundation (DVNF) has provided $16.1 million in cash and requested items such as clothing, food, health & hygiene products to tens of thousands of underserved and disabled veterans nationwide.
