Hi Friend,
I’ve always wondered what it really takes to start over, after serving your
country.
The hardest part for many veterans is finding steady ground back home.
**Greg's** story begins there:
---
| |
_After serving in the Army and the Gulf War, Greg was working back home in
construction when his life was derailed by addiction. He lost his job, his
home and his connection with his children.
Then one day, Greg bravely walked through VOA's doors. It was a game-changer.
**With safe housing, recovery support and people who believed in him, he began
rebuilding.** Today, Greg is sober, studying to become an electrician and
reconnecting with his family._

That’s Greg now—steady, hopeful and working hard—all thanks to the generosity
of friends like you.

But the truth is, not every veteran gets that chance. Thousands of veterans
across the country are sleeping in cars, behind buildings, under bridges. On
any given night, nearly **33,000 heroes have no home** —and the number is
rising **** as funding for homeless programs falls short and housing costs
climb **.**
**That’s where you make all the difference**. Your generosity has always shown
up where it’s needed most -- and it has mattered more than you know. Please
make a gift this Veterans Day and _[help veterans and others take that first

Thank you for believing in second chances. And for standing beside the heroes
who’ve already given so much. **Because saying _thank you for your service_ is
easy. But changing a life—takes all of us.**
Warmly,

P.S. Your generosity reminds veterans and others facing life's most difficult
times that _**someone still believes in them**_ —and that’s where healing
begins. We appreciate you being with us at VOA!
