CHECK OUT THIS COOL SEGMENT OUR LOCAL MEDIA KTLA DID
ON THE VET HUNTERS PROJECT. THANK YOU LU PARKER
AND ALL OF THE KTLA TEAM FOR SPENDING
SOME TIME WITH VET HUNTERS.
ALL PART OF OUR “ADVOCACY/AWARENESS FOR HOMELESS HEROES...”
NAVY VETERAN IS FOUND BY TEAM
MEMBERS LIVING IN THESE CONDITIONS.
“AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE...”
IT WAS DISCOVERED IN THE INTAKE
THAT HE WAS VERY ILL. VET HUNTERS
TAKE HIM TO THE LOCAL V.A.
SEVERAL WONDERFUL PEOPLE
GATHER TOGETHER TO SEND HIM TO
HIS SISTER WHO HE HAS NOT SEEN IN
OVER 10 YEARS. HE IS ABOUT TO
BOARD A PLANE.
YOU CAN SEE HOW HAPPY THIS
WARRIOR IS TO BE FINALLY GOING
HOME...! THIS IS HOW ITS DONE!
FROM A TENT TO A HOME
ONE OF THE MANY MIRACLES
MADE POSSIBLE BY THE V.H.P.
FAMILY. HOOAH
SCENERIO #1
VET HUNTERS VANESSA AND MOE
FOUND HOMELESS VETERAN WILLIAM
LIVING IN THESE HORRIBLE CONDITIONS
NO HUMAN YET ALONE A VETERAN SHOULD
LIVE IN. QUICKLY THESE KEEN VET HUNTERS
NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH
WILLIAM SO THEY RUSHED HIM TO THE V.A.
WE LEARNED THAT HE WAS VERY ILL AND
WASN’T GIVEN MUCH TIME TO LIVE. WHEN
ASKED WHAT WOULD MAKE HIM HAPPY
HE SAID “I WANT TO GO HOME. I HAVE
A SISTER THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN IN OVER 10 YEARS. LONG STORY SHORT.... MANY WONDERFUL
PEOPLE GOT TOGETHER AND MADE HIS WISH POSSIBLE. WILLIAM IS NOW IN ST. LOUIS
WITH HIS FAMILY. WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT GREAT PEOPLE GETTING TOGETHER
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN WITHOUT ALL THE EXCUSES KNOWN AS RED TAPE. WE MADE NEW FRIENDS
AND FAMILY IN THE PROCESS, CHECK US OUT ON FACE BOOK TO SEE THE FULL STORY.
CURRENTLY IN THE V.H.P. HOMES, VETERANS RANGE 90% IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN
AND 10% VIETNAM VETERANS. MANY OF THESE HOMELESS VETERANS ARE
CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE RESERVE OR NATIONAL GUARD. WE ARE VERY
HAPPY WITH OUR SUCCESS NUMBER MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO SLEEP A FEW HOURS
AT NIGHT BECAUSE WE KNOW WE HAVE ALLOT OF WORK AHEAD OF US. VETERANS
THAT WE SERVE GET ENROLLED WITH THE V.A., GI BILL AND ANY RESOURCE
NEEDED TO SET THEM UP FOR SUCCESS. EACH SITUATION IS DIFFERENT AND WE
TAILOR TO MEET THE NEEDS THAT BEST FITS THE VETERANS SITUATION. FOR
EXAMPLE. WHEN WE FIND VETERANS LIVING IN HOMELESS CAMPS, MANY TIMES
THEY HAVE ZERO INCOME, CLOTHING AND HAVE MEDICAL ISSUES. VET HUNTERS
BREAK DOWN ALL THE SUPPORT LEVELS AND GET THE VETERAN ENROLLED
TO RECEIVE GENERAL RELIEF, FOOD STAMPS, MEDICAL, SOCIAL SECURITY AND V.A. BENEFITS IF ELIGIBLE. VIETNAM VETERANS ARE
SENIOR CITIZENS AND NEED A PLACE TO CALL HOME RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS WHY VET HUNTERS MOVE WITH A 911 ATTITUDE BECAUSE
NOT ON OUR WATCH WILL WE CONTINUE TO LOOSE OUR HEROES TO THE SAME STREETS THEY FOUGHT FOR. IT COSTS V.H.P. A
MINIMUM OF $500.00 PER VETERAN TO ACCOMPLISH THE IMPOSSIBLE. WE ALSO PURCHASE FOR VETERANS BUS PASSES, FOOD,
CLOTHING AND ANYTHING TO SET THEM UP FOR SUCCESS. WE ALSO PREVENT HOMELESSNESS BY HELPING PAY RENT, PASS DUE
CAR PAYMENTS (DEPENDING ON SITUATION) AND ALSO HELP WITH PAYING COURT TICKETS AND VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS WHEN TIED TO
HOMELESSNESS. ALL THIS SOUNDS GOOD BUT WE CAN ONLY DO THIS THROUGH DONATIONS. THIS IS HOW WE SURVIVE! WE HAVE ZERO
OVERHEAD. OUR OFFICE IS THE STREETS WHERE OUR HOMELESS BROTHERS AND SISTERS LIVE. WE ARE A 100% OPEN ORGANIZATION
AND WILL GLADY SHOW YOU HOW YOUR DONATION WAS SPENT. WE DO NOT SPEND UNNECESSARY MONEY ON PAYING FOR MAILINGS
AND PROMOTIONAL GIMMICKS. WORD OF MOUTH IS HOW THE WORD GETS OUT. WEBSITE IS OUT TOGETHER BY ME, A VOLUNTEER
CUTTING ALL THE COSTS SO WE CAN ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION IN HUGE NUMBERS.... - YOUR VET HUNTERS
