Friend, I'll be honest. We need a few more friends for local efforts. Our staff are on the front lines of support, so that that no veteran struggles alone and people can rely on lifesaving support from hunger, homelessness and other dire emergencies.

If you’re able to chip in, even $10 would mean everything to a veteran in need. You'd be helping us provide relief like food, shelter, job training, and mental health support.

A community that shows up when help is needed, is the greatest blessing we can ask for. Thank you, on behalf of veterans and others we serve! — Tanisha

Subject: Enemy shrapnel barely missed Robert's spine
Date: Thursday, April 12

A decorated war hero. Living out of his truck. Don't let this be the end of the story.

Robert faced a medical discharge from the Army after enemy shrapnel pierced his shoulder in Afghanistan. It barely missed his spine, and he felt lucky.

But his luck began to run out. Returning to civilian life, he struggled for work and, wracked by war traumas, Robert became homeless.

Provide shelter. Job training. Mental health support - Donate now

From the moment Robert arrived at VOA, he knew he would no longer have to cope alone. He received food and shelter, counseling, and a plan to get back on his feet. His life was renewed, because of kindness and generosity like yours.

Robert’s story isn't unique. 35,000+ veterans are experiencing homelessness right now, and many more face PTSD, unemployment and injuries from combat.

They need your help. All it takes is caring, and the decision to do something about it. I guarantee, your support can change lives.

Thank you for standing up for our veterans!

Sincere regards,

Tanisha Smith
