We’re honored to serve our brave veterans with shelter, housing, job training, counseling and other services - made possible by supporters like you…

Dear Friend,

Dwayne served with courage as a U.S. Army soldier. He would call on that same spirit and bravery in his time of need.

After suffering a series of strokes, Dwayne’s military career was halted. He wasn’t able to work, and after compounding setbacks he lost hope. He ended up homeless and sleeping in his car, while his young sons moved away to their grandparents in a safer setting.

Dwayne found Volunteers of America, and received medical care, counseling, and assistance in finding a new home. With VOA, Dwayne found hope again. It was always there, just buried beneath fears and a sense of helplessness.

“When I found VOA, I just felt a wave of relief, I was never going to have to sleep in my car again.”

Today, Dwayne not only has steady employment but he has his sons back, too. His recovery wouldn’t have been possible without VOA’s expert staff, proven programs, and our compassionate network of VOA supporters.

I hope you’ll consider honoring our country’s heroes by supporting VOA. Every dollar makes a difference, and supports lifesaving efforts, like veteran employment training, services for veteran families, and housing support.

Sincerely,

Tom Waters
Senior Vice President, Volunteers of America
