Providing Home Improvements for Korean War Veteran
September 2023: We have been providing support to a local Korean War Veteran since 2022 and during that time have had the opportunity to get to know him very well. This relationship allowed us to understand the full scope of improvements he would need to his home in order for him to continue to live in the home safely and with dignity.
The scope of the home improvements are far beyond the capabilities of our chapter to handle alone so we have created a Go Fund Me fundraiser to help raise funds.
The current status of the project is that we have identified that there are three major areas of concern to the veterans ability to live safely and comfortably. These areas are electrical rewiring of the home, fixing the leaking roof, and upgrading to an ADA compliant bathroom.
We are currently working with local contractors to get formal quotes for the work required. We are also working with local community leaders to develop local funding support for the overall project. The Go Fund Me page can be found here. If you are interested in supporting this project in any way please use the Go Fund Me page to donate or contact us. Our Commander and PR Officer were recently interviewed on Living in the Heart of Virginia regarding this project.
