The obstacles facing veterans are systemic, numerous, and spread across many areas. There is no good reason for the inefficiency and confusion in navigating governmental channels for assistance, and absolutely no excuse for the organizations that prey on veterans in need and the donors who want to support them. In our talks with veterans about their frustrations, we have identified key areas where our knowledge and skills can make a difference. These projects we believe are the first step to removing unnecessary barriers for veterans to move forward.
