Support for Disabled Veterans in need
Mission Statement
Veteran Love and Appreciation Inc., a nonprofit 501(c) (3), exists to provide direct services to our severely wounded and disabled men and women who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
Help Us to Continue Our Mission:
For those wishing to donate to our disabled veterans who have already returned home and need our assistance, please click the donate button below. We have many Veterans waiting on benefits that take anywhere from 6 months -12 months to begin. During this most stressful time, they are losing the lives and families they knew before being deployed and the transition can be overwhelming.
Your support is greatly needed:
Veteran's One Wish...
Sponsor a veteran
Currently we have veterans in danger of eviction, veterans with utilities being shut-off and need assistance as soon as possible. Let us know how you can help and we will connect you to a waiting veteran who has already been through our screening process.
Email: charlene@veteranlove.com to be matched with a waiting veteran.

UPDATE October 2009:
Due to extreme budget restrictions and a drop off in donors, our organization will not be accepting any new applications.
We sincerely hope to begin accepting applications again in 2010.
We are proud of the 500+ Veterans and families that we have been able to assist over the years, but due to the economic circumstances that many companies are facing, we must re-address how we can provide other services for our returning veterans.
Donations are always accepted via PayPal or postal mail:

Sony Pocket Reader Project for Deployed Troops
The Sony Pocket Reader project has been a HUGE success and we have received donations in excess of $18,000! A big Thank You goes out to everyone who donated, without your contribution we could not have provided this gift to the troops. This "gift of thanks" to soldiers who are away from their homes and loved ones serving our country in Iraq and Afghanistan is one small way to show our appreciation.
