Veterans Helping Veterans

Our Story: "Our remarkable journey started out with artwork on a cocktail napkin years ago and presented at the time to my VA Doctor, Doctor Ben Hong, my mentor/hero and friend. I also had support and help from my other mentors/heroes and friends, Tom Burke and Richard Friedrich Sr.  THANK YOU!  With all the trials and tribulations it has become a reality!

 

Now we start with our mission to continuously fundraise for our Veterans who have mental health issues.  Sadly we lose 22 Veterans a day to suicides!  That’s precisely why we started our fundraising efforts for Therapy Companion Dogs who is by a Veterans side 24/7.  We will continue into the future to provide assistance to our Veterans!

 

We are a 501(3)C nonprofit with an EIN 30-1375534.  We are a Proud/Patriotic committee of Veterans!  We have all volunteered to MAKE A DIFFERENCE to help Veterans, present and future.  I stress, we are unique, we are all Volunteers and our visionary objectives are the same – 'Veterans Helping Veterans'!"
