Dear Robert,  One of the biggest parts of our mission at DVNF is to support like-minded organizations. We strive to empower them, and equip them with the tools they need to give the intensive support to veterans in their communities. That's why we were truly humbled when we received an update from our friends at Easter Seals New York. They were in need of funding for their specialized program for veterans in need in their area, and we gave them a grant to help out. After thanking DVNF and our donors for our assistance, a representative at Easter Seals wanted to show us how our support helped to change the life of a young woman who was the victim of military sexual trauma, and eventually ended up homeless. "I didn't want to kill myself, but I just felt so hopeless that I didn't want to be here anymore." These powerful words resonated loudly in this video, and are a reminder of why your gifts are so important to veterans all throughout the country. So I ask that you please consider giving today. With a gift of $25, $50, or even $100, you can help us to ensure that organizations are prepared to meet the delicate needs of veterans like Shaneece. Thank you for you continued support, Joseph VanFonda (USMC SgtMaj Ret.) CEO DVNF

Subject: DVNF E-Newsletter: Recognizing Women Veterans

	Dear Robert, This March, We Recognize Women Veterans March is Women's History Month, and we want to send some special recognition to the brave women who have served in the Armed Forces! We thank you for your great sacrifices, and recognize the tremendous and positive impact you have had on our military. Here are a few tidbits that you may find interesting about women veterans. Service Dog Initiative Still Going On! As we've mentioned, service dogs are a quickly growing trend in the fight to help veterans with PTSD and TBI overcome the many challenges they often face. Your support can go a long way to helping us meet our $50,000 goal that will pair a veteran in need with a service dog to help them recover, and regain independence! If you aren't convinced, take a look at just how much service dogs can really make a difference in a veteran's life! 11 Service Members Presumed Dead In Helicopter Crash It's with a heavy heart that I'm reaching out to you today. Seven Marines and four soldiers were in a helicopter crash the evening of March 10, near Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. And sadly, all 11 are presumed dead. This tragedy should remind all of us of the great risks our men and women of the armed forces face on a daily basis. They are willing to put themselves in harm's way to protect our great nation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these individuals, and we hope that you recognize that there are so many heroes all around us. Sincerely, Joseph VanFonda (USMC SgtMaj Ret.) CEO DVNF

Dear Robert,  "…for the first time, I forgot to be angry." "…he's the best medicine of all." "…I feel safe and more free than I have in years." "…he has given me a reason for being." These are quotes from veterans who needed a special kind of assistance, and found it through a service dog that helped them cope with their difficult readjustment. Today, I'm asking you to open your hearts to the brave warriors who have sacrificed so much for you and me. Even just a one-time gift of $25, $50, $100 ... or more, can help improve a veteran's life! Find out more on how you can make a difference in the life of a veteran, and why your support is so urgently needed. Thank you for your kindness and your unwavering support of our nation's heroes. Sincerely, Joseph VanFonda (USMC SgtMaj Ret.) CEO DVNF
