Miami veterans association hasn't added a story.
Miami Veterans Association (MVA) is a nonprofit veterans organization focused on creating an environment welcoming of America's Veterans, service members, and their families. We stood up just over a year ago and have already made a substantial impact on the local veteran community. We have assisted veterans with housing, employment, benefits, service dog placement, legal help, and yes even meals and emergency lodging. We have completed our three-year plan goals within our first year, an accomplishment unattainable without the hard work, dedication, and perseverance, of our volunteers. But now we need Your help to apply for federal recognition, as a 501c3 Non-Profit. with more access, our Veterans can have more access to resources currently out of our reach. We are running our campiagn for 22 days as a reminder of the 22 Veterans we lose per day to Suicide.
MVA creates new and exciting platforms where veterans continue to
serve. When asked, 92% of military leaving active-duty, stated they
are not done serving the country. A astounding 86% of Veterans who
attempted suicide last year claimed they felt they no longer had a
mission in life. MVA's goal is to reach out to more veterans, so they
too can have a shot at normalcy. As a Florida recognized nonprofit,
there are only so many grants and programs that we can use. As a
federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we will have
increased access to programs offeref by the government for the
assistance of Veterans and their families. Please help us in reaching
our goal to increase our outreach and make an impact on lowering the
number of Veterans we lose a day to suicide, 1 is too many.
