Too many veterans are struggling out there to make ends meet. What the National Center for Healthy Vets is doing aligns with our mission, so we wanted to help” - Kate Monroe, CEO of VetCommSAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, October 4, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- There are currently more than 43,000 homeless veterans in the U.S. struggling with mental illness, and 1.2 million living on the brink of homelessness.
On behalf of those veterans, VetComm , a leading provider of VA benefits courses and services, has made a $10,000 donation to the National Center for Healthy Veterans -which provides housing, rehabilitation, and mental and spiritual health services on a 700-acre farm in Altavista, Virginia.
“We are a company that truly cares about veterans,” said Kate Monroe, CEO of VetComm.“Too many veterans are struggling out there to make ends meet. My company helps them get the disability compensation they are owed to afford basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter. What the National Center for Healthy Vets is doing aligns with our mission, so we wanted to help”.
Monroe first visited the Center in Altavista, Virginia run by Major General Bob Dees three years ago but could not help. She promised one day she'd return with a check. As VetComm grew, Monroe made good on her promise. General Dees acknowledged that VetComm's mission could be instrumental in stemming the veteran homeless crisis.
“There are people that try to gain the system. [VetComm] is not one of those. Some people are referred to as 'sharks'. [VetComm] is not one of those”, said Major General Dees.“VetComm is an organization of high integrity, and I can unequivocally recommend it to any veteran that needs to go forward with their claim”.
In addition to the homeless epidemic, veteran suicide is also a crisis both Monroe and Dees are deeply concerned about as more vets die annually by suicide than by combat.
“Most of the guys we take in are suicidal. That's what drove us to do this is to stem the suicide epidemic”, said Kathleen Dees, Ambassador to the Center.
“There are many veterans that are completely stuck. They just cannot move forward with their lives”.
Together, VetComm and the National Center for Healthy Vets are looking to change that, one veteran at a time.
