Thanksgiving is a special opportunity for Americans to reunite with friends and family and celebrate good fortunes. For most Americans this is a joyful time when troubles are set-aside and blessings acknowledged. For others this is not the case. During the year I constantly encounter families led by seriously disabled veterans who struggle to meet ends meet and often fail as they await essential government benefits. Basic services like heat and power are shut off. Evictions are common.  And many families fall apart. For those living in poverty Thanksgiving and Christmas are often reminders of how difficult their lives have become.

This year I am asking my friends and family to remember the sacrifices disabled veterans and their families have made in our behalf and to thank them for making our own lives better. If you also wish to help please make a gift to Rebuild Hope, and you will ensure more families have bright Christmas this year.
