USMC vet Milton living in truck when hit by uninsured driver. Asked VPAN for legal aid but Army vet/Battle Buddy John (GOODWILL-SD3) had bigger ideas. Mental Health America covered hotel & Change Reaction paid $4500 repair & thanks to SSVF Milton now lives in an apt.
Let's change the narrative. Instead of talking about the staggering number of daily suicides, BE THE ONE to save ONE veteran. We can end the stigma surrounding mental health with your help! #AmericanLegion#BeTheOne
