We would like
to personally Thank You for your kind donation and introduce you
to
American Veterans Foundation.
We are a national non-profit, tax-exempt, 501 (c) (3)
organization. Your generosity makes you part of the solution to
helping United States Veterans who have fallen on hard times and
need our assistance.
Yes, American
Veterans are entitled to and can receive benefits from the
Department of Veteran Affairs. Yet we also know that the
“government wheels of progress” spin ever so slowly. We as
responsible citizens cannot and should not stand by in the
comfort of our homes while those who fought for our freedoms
sleep in the streets.
Perhaps you
are a veteran or know a veteran.
Recent studies show that there
are over 24.5 million veterans residing in the United States.
In the spring of 2008 the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA)
reported that as many as 200,000 veterans are homeless. That is
21% fewer homeless veterans than the previous year. The VA
says, the reason for the reduction in the number of homeless
veterans, includes partnerships between the VA and a growing
number of community and faith based organizations.
“We are
seeing significant progress in the fight against homelessness”,
said Secretary of Veteran Affairs, Dr. James B. Peake.
“This
success should encourage all those concerned about homeless
veterans, for it shows we can make a difference in the lives of
these veterans through our services and with our
community partners.”
American
Veterans Foundation
provides
public awareness of the plight of our nation’s Veterans and
assists Veterans by whatever means available which could
include, but not be limited to; visiting Veteran hospitals;
attending Veteran functions; counseling individual Veterans when
appropriate and/or referring Veterans to agencies best suited to
meet their needs.
American
Veterans Foundation
will always
offer a helping hand to Veterans who have fallen on hard times
and are in need of immediate help with shelter, utilities,
medical supplies, food and other necessities of life.
American
Veterans Foundation
is not funded
by any local, state or federal agency. We are not affiliated
with any other Veterans organization or association. We are
supported solely by the generous contributions from families,
friends and businesses. A portion of each contribution may be
used to defray the expenses of public education, administration
and the cost of this appeal.
In today’s
shrinking world with its’ ever increasing problems, we receive
great personal satisfaction in the knowledge that organizations
like
American Veterans Foundation
is doing its’
part in helping veterans who need our assistance. By fulfilling
your pledge we hope that you will also be blessed with the
satisfaction that you have helped those who have fought the
brave fight for all Americans.
Sincerely,
The Board of
Directors
