Time to Give Back to Our Heroes
America is a huge country that’s not only teeming with busy glittering cities but also small towns radiant with scenic beauty. West Hartford in the state of Connecticut is one of them.
The town is home to various attractions that draw in large crowds from nearby areas. You can enjoy the many green spaces you can find in the town, or you can just hang out in its popular downtown area. This place is packed with shops and picture-perfect brick buildings.
While West Hartford may look like a town that’s free of problems, it isn’t entirely so. The latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau show that 6.4% of West Hartford’s estimated population of 63,268 (as of April 2010) comprised of persons living in poverty. Some of these impoverished individuals are likely veterans, who numbered 2,419 based on the 2019 population estimates.
They are our former service members who can no longer support themselves and their families because they can’t find employment or have been laid off from their jobs. Some of them are suffering from service-connected disabilities and illnesses, including mental health conditions. For lack of support, others have become homeless and now live on the streets as beggars.
If you feel compassion for these men and women who ironically are considered our nation’s heroes, extend them a helping hand by partnering with us at Veteran Car Donations. You can easily do this by making a vehicle donation to our West Hartford, Connecticut car donations program.
