Help Us Rescue Veterans in Crisis — Before It’s Too Late

Organizer: Gina Watson | Benefiting: Veterans Aid Network

Goal: $350,000

________________________________________

Every day, veterans across our country wake up not knowing if they’ll have food to eat, a roof over their head, or power in their home. Many are just one crisis away from losing everything — and no one is coming to help.

That’s why I founded Veterans Aid Network — a nonprofit dedicated to providing emergency financial aid to low-income veterans who are facing life-altering crises. Whether it’s rent assistance to avoid eviction, funds to keep the lights and heat on, or gas money to get to a job interview or VA appointment — we’re here to help, fast.

And right now, we need your help to launch this mission.

The Problem We’re Facing

You’d think after serving our country, our veterans would be protected from financial devastation — but the truth is heartbreaking. Many come home only to face new battles: PTSD, underemployment, medical bills, and broken systems that take too long to respond.

A single unexpected expense — a car repair, a missed rent payment, a utility shutoff notice — can send a struggling veteran into homelessness. It happens every day.

And most of the time, by the time they finally get help, it’s already too late.

The Solution We’re Building

Veterans Aid Network exists to change that — with fast, flexible, emergency support that fills the gap when no other help is available.

We are raising $350,000 in the next six months to launch our full-scale crisis response program. These funds will allow us to:

• Provide direct emergency financial aid to veterans in crisis

• Prevent evictions, utility shutoffs, and hunger

• Create a rapid-response support system in partnership with other veteran-focused organizations

• Offer advocacy and benefits assistance for long-term stability

But we can’t do this without you.

Why I Started This

This mission is personal. I’ve seen too many veterans fall through the cracks — good people who served our country, only to return home and suffer in silence.

I started Veterans Aid Network because I couldn’t sit by any longer. These heroes deserve more than “thoughts and prayers.” They need action. They need us.

And right now, we have the power to help them — but only if we act together.

How You Can Help

Please consider donating to our campaign. Even $25 can help a veteran keep their lights on or put food on the table. $100 might keep a roof over their head. Every dollar makes a real, immediate difference.

If you can’t give, sharing this campaign with your friends, family, or social network is just as valuable. The more people who know about this, the more lives we can impact.

Let’s show our veterans that when they’re in crisis, someone shows up for them.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for being part of this mission. Together, we can rescue veterans from crisis and restore their hope.

With gratitude,
