= HVF = (Homeless Veterans Fund)

Why the HVF is needed-
 * 1) There are just over 107,000 homeless veterans inside the United States. In addition,1/5 of homeless Americans today are retired veterans. ( [|www.nchv.org/background.cfm]) Nate's Link
 * 2) Currently, veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have an unemployment rate of 21.6% ([|www.truth-out.org]) Mike's Link
 * 3) Additionally, many Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan veterans suffer from mental illnesses like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
 * 4) One in four veterans are homless. [] Ian's Link.

How the HVF helps- How Can you help? Where are we located?
 * The Homeless Veterans Fund provides financial aid to many homeless veterans and their families, allowing them to pay for basic necessities, like food and shelter, as well as ways for them to get ahead in life, like college scholarships and career training to provide a solid base for the future.
 * You can give us your monetary donation of any amount, or volunteer in your local organization which will greatly bless your local veterans who are in need. This will insure them to recover up to a degree of health and prosperity that will last for the rest of their life.
 * The HVF is located in every major city inside of the United States. (Excluding Alaska and Hawaii)

Why we do what we do-
 * These brave men and women helped protect us during difficult times, so now we need to protect them from poverty. Too many veterans are struggling to keep up with providing basic necessities in today's changing world.
