What Challenges Do Veterans Face After Service?
For many veterans, the battle doesn’t end at discharge. It continues long after service. Adjusting to civilian life can be difficult, and finding steady income can be even harder, as suitable jobs are limited. Some veterans are living with disabilities, illnesses, or mental health conditions. Others lose their homes and sleep on the streets because they don’t have the support and resources they need.
If you want to help struggling veterans in your town, you can donate an unwanted vehicle to Veteran Car Donations through our Fairfield, CT car donations program. Your gift will provide the assistance these vets have been missing.
