DAV (Disabled American Veterans)

John,

I want to make sure you saw the story below from U.S. Navy veteran Kathleen Alvarez. So many Americans have faced some of the toughest times of their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic.

And for our nation’s ill and injured veterans, the crisis has been even more perilous.

But Kathleen’s story is a heartwarming example of how caring, patriotic people like you can truly make a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans in need.

Please read Kathleen’s story. Then, make a special gift today to help veterans like her, get through these difficult hardships and back to the fulfilling lives they deserve.

After all our heroes have sacrificed — after all they continue to do for our country — we simply cannot turn our backs on them now. Thank you for your support.

Kathleen Alvarez - U.S. Navy Veteran and COVID-19 Unemployment Relief Recipient

“After serving in the U.S. Navy for five years, I became a nurse working with private duty cases.

But when COVID-19 hit, I had to stop taking patients. I’m in a high-risk category for the virus, and I have a son who has asthma.

I simply couldn’t take any chances …

But it wasn’t long before money ran out.

I was able to put food on the table for my three teenagers. I didn’t have to worry about how I was going to feed my family.

As a veteran and a nurse, I've never underestimated the importance of lending a helping hand -- I just never thought it'd be me who needed one.

In honor of Veterans Day, please make a special donation so DAV can be there for veterans like me, when they need it the most.”
