Steven Rivera made it home from war only to find himself fighting another battle – this time for food and a safe place to sleep on the very streets he was protecting.
He might still be there – just another homeless veteran statistic – if it weren’t for people like you who help restore hope and dignity to veterans through the DAV.
Because caring patriots like you refuse to allow our heroes to suffer cruel injustices like homelessness and hunger, Steven received help through a special DAV partnership.
Progress has been made on veteran homelessness. But with so many veterans like Steven still out there, you and I must keep fighting for them today.
Unemployment and long waits for benefits are pushing many of our youngest veterans into despair. They’re winding up on the streets in rising numbers.
Women veterans – and their children – are also becoming homeless at an alarming rate. They face added burdens that few agencies are set up to meet.
The government can’t do it all – it takes the American community.
Join hands to help heroes, like Steven, as you give $25 … $50 … $100 or more now!
Shielding Veterans from Despair!
