Transitioning back to civilian life is never easy for veterans. Women who serve are often separated from their children, making their homecoming even more poignant.

Imagine if coming home also meant returning to an abusive husband. That’s just what happened to a recently discharged hero in Missouri.

She endured many struggles trying to provide for her young children while enduring unimaginable pain.

Following a divorce, she resorted to living in her car with her children. At the same time, she was looking for work to provide them with a better life.

She sought job placement assistance from a veteran representative at the Missouri Career Center, who contacted DVNF after learning of her situation. DVNF provided this brave veteran with a grant to allow her to pay a deposit and first month’s rent on an apartment.

Thanks to our loyal supporters, this mother was able to protect her children and herself. She continues to work with the Career Center, and her future looks much brighter as a result of DVNF’s grant.

You can be a part of a success story just like this.
