There are many active and retired troops in Rancho Cucamonga, California. We are reaching out to you to support our car donations drive to allow us to provide assistance to our struggling veterans.
We have several military and veteran nonprofit organization partners. Veteran Car Donations and these partners seek to fill the gaps in the U.S. government’s services to our retired troops. Our mission is not limited to helping veterans with their everyday problems but, on a bigger scale, to transform their lives.
Our retired troops are evidently not receiving enough assistance from their government. Thousands of post-9/11 troops do not have full access to benefits available to them. That is why our Rancho Cucamonga, California car donations program generates funds to provide services to our veterans.
Major Problems Facing Our Veterans
One of the major problems being faced by many of our veterans is mental health disorders. This is common among veterans as they must have faced extreme danger and life-threatening situations during their deployment. About 20 percent of our troops deployed in the past six years — roughly 300,000 soldiers — have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. And only 50 percent of our troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan had treatment for this disorder.
Another major problem confronting our retired troops is homelessness. About 19 percent of the country’s homeless population is said to be comprised of veterans. About 1.4 million retired U.S. soldiers are considered at risk of being homeless due to poverty and lack of assistance. An estimated 51 percent of our severely injured troops are homeless.
Substance abuse is another major problem that has afflicted many of our veterans. At least 70 percent of our homeless veterans are said to be victims of substance abuse. About 65.4 percent are alcoholics; 10.7 percent, heroin users; and 6.2 percent, cocaine users.
Where Your Charity Vehicle Donations Will Go
Our car donations program passes on the proceeds from your vehicle donations to our nonprofit partners. They use the funds to provide our troops with resources and support. These include educational assistance as well as job and skills training to help veterans find employment to be able to sustain themselves and their families.
Our organization also helps in building mortgage-free specially adapted homes for severely injured troops.
