It is my opinion that no veteran should be begging to eat. There is financial help for any person who has served in the armed forces. But many veterans do not know they have these possibilities.
I have decided to go through a plethora of resources and great information so that veterans can get the help they deserve.
Before I provide you with resources that help veterans get financially secure, I want to give you some of the facts…
- The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs reported that 11% of the homeless population are veterans.
- There are nearly 4,000,000 veterans with a service connected disability.
- 1 out of 9 veterans do not have health insurance.
- And so much more….
While both Chuck and I are veterans and doing okay, there are many other veterans who need a boost up.
You probably know one don’t you? Well, I am here to help you help them. Here are various resources that can and will help veterans.
Check All Of These Financial Resources
I am going to share various organizations that assist veterans financially and in other ways. I will put links to these resources so you can easily help a veteran in need.

Final Thoughts
There IS help for American veterans. This is not a complete list either. You can visit all the reference links I put below to see more.
If you feel a calling to help veterans, many of these organizations can use your donations which are normally tax deductible.
Our veterans helped us, so now it is our obligation to help them. No veteran should be homeless, going hungry or suffering from financial issues.
Thank you for visiting today. Please share this with any and all people who have a veteran they know in need.
