Friend, will you make a gift today to help bridge the gap for veterans who’ve been left behind by the system?
Veterans come home to thank-you banners. They’re honored at halftime shows. We say we’re grateful. We salute their service.
But when they need real help — help that could change their lives — they often hear something far colder:
“The VA won’t pay for that.”
That’s the heartbreaking reality for far too many veterans who are paralyzed, recovering from trauma, or simply trying to rebuild their lives after service.
Life-changing medical technologies exist. Proven therapies exist. But they’re often just out of reach — because they’re not covered by the system designed to care for them.
At SoldierStrong, we refuse to accept that.
And we know you won’t either.

One of the most powerful tools we provide is the iBOT® Personal Mobility Device — a robotic wheelchair that can climb stairs, elevate users to eye level, and go places traditional wheelchairs simply can’t. It gives wounded veterans the freedom to move and to live with dignity.
But here’s the catch: the VA won’t always cover it.
Veterans like Johnny Ortiz, who was paralyzed while serving in the Army, are told they can’t access this technology. Not because it doesn’t work — but because the system says it’s not in the budget. So instead, they’re given basic wheelchairs that trap them in a limited life.
We step in when others don’t.
And we don’t stop with mobility.
We also fund BraveMind VR therapy to treat PTSD — a tool proven to help veterans confront their trauma through immersive, controlled exposure therapy. Once again, it’s a program that many VA centers don’t offer, or can’t fully support.
And then there’s education.
Through our SoldierScholar program, we help veterans complete their degrees — because even with the GI Bill, many face housing and tuition gaps that threaten to derail their future.
These aren’t luxuries. These are necessities.
And they’re made possible because people like you step up when the government won’t.

Your donation helps veterans walk, heal, and move forward.
At SoldierStrong, we believe in action — not red tape. We work directly with VA hospitals, universities, and veteran support networks to deliver real tools to real people. No bureaucracy. No waiting lists. Just solutions.
Our veterans didn’t hesitate when their country called.
Let’s not hesitate when they need us most.
Thank you for standing with our heroes — and for making sure they’re never told, “Sorry, we can’t help.”
With heartfelt gratitude,
Dr. Chris Meek
