Non-Profit Assistance for the Disabled Veteran
Non-Profit Assistance for the Disabled Veteran is important for two reasons. First, most veterans who return home after military service will not take advantage of their benefits. These benefits could assist them to better their quality of life. Second, veterans are in a position to start non-profit organizations with their Small Business Administration loans from the Veterans Administration. These Non-profit organizations will hopefully help many of our homeless and disabled veterans. …show more content…
Lisa Willis Groves was discharge from the Army in 1992 and is the founder of the Veteran’s Connection, a nonprofit mobile unit that offers aid to homeless and disabled veterans. She states “my hope is to be a motivational wave in the world so that my fellow veterans can receive better care” (Robertson, 2013).
In today’s society service members are returning home with more injuries sustained during a different sort of war than fought in previous wars. Post Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) and / or Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are a couple of examples. “Differences in deployment, the type of injuries sustained, and the mixture of personnel continue to affect transitions from military service and reintegration into civilian life” (Ostovary & Dapprich, 2011). Reintegration problems occur when a veteran is transitioning because of physical functions such as loss of mobility which services as a deterrent to attend many social functions. Transition into civilian employment and educational environments are complicated because veterans are often misunderstood by the general population.
According to DiRamio & Spires (2009) Severely Injured Military Veterans: Fulfilling Their Dream is an initiative of the American Council on Education (ACE) and is funded by private contributors (American Council on Education, 2008a).
ACE helps the veteran and seek them out because they are not inclined to ask for assistance. On the ACE website the following services are offered:
Invests time and energy to help the veteran make informed decisions
Provides guidance for dealing with the chaos of college and assists in bridging the gap from the military’s mission-oriented structure to an academic environment
Serves as a resource to assist with matters such as study skills, tutoring support services, veterans affairs issues, and enrollment challenges
Seeks to build a community-based team of support for the veteran or family member (or both)
Needs to be flexible and persevere because the veteran or family member will undoubtedly face setbacks and obstacles on his or her journey, particularly when getting started
Analysis of the literature review allowed for a better understanding of the concepts associated with Non-Profit Assistance to the Disabled Veteran. The authors and organizations assisting the veterans were supportive of the resources given to veterans. It was evident that each area of research was similar to other areas and constant care was given to the veterans.
Evaluation of the findings and applied personal experience made it convenient in choosing the greatest contribution of my area of research. The understanding and development of the research seemed effortless.
