Who
do we serve? |
| |
| Veterans and
their family members who: |
| Do not qualify for
government benefits |
| Cannot afford
counseling and therapy on their own |
| Have been unable
to find Christian counsel for military related problems |
| |
| |
| |
| After hearing about all of
the programs that exist to help veterans, some may still have a
misconception about who is and is not getting help. After continuing to hear
the stories of veterans who had been turned down for help from the VA, from
Vet Centers, and from many other non-profit organizations (all of whom are
doing their part to serve the men and women who have served in the United
States Military), it was time to do something. |
| |
| Imagine the story of the
warrior (and there are many) who serves multiple tours in Iraq or
Afghanistan, but struggling with PTSD and other symptoms of his struggle he
turns to drugs or alcohol to cope, they drug test, he tests positive, he is
sent home with a Dishonorable Discharge. He loses all of his potential
benefits. The Veterans Administration will not help him. The Vet Centers
cannot help him either. For the military that makes sense; Drug problems can
have serious effects on the entire unit. After serving our country, and
falling short of the measure, do we turn our backs on our brother? At VFT,
we say 'let he who is sinless cast the first stone!' |
| |
| What if there were those
who did things that were "not on the books". They served with
integrity and the belief that they would be taken care of. They received
their honorable discharge. With DD-214 in hand they apply for benefits. If
they have been out of the service too long they are no longer eligible for
benefits because their "combat duty" was "not on the
books". |
| |
| What about the spouse who
is having trouble with the kids adjusting to dad's return after a long
deployment and honorable discharge? The veteran is eligible for benefits for
up to five years, but not his family. |
| |
| VFT is
the solution |
