Like all of you, we are hoping to an end to this madness sooner rather than later. The reality is many people are experiencing hardships due to matters outside their control and many more will suffer if this does not end soon.
Another veteran family member sent this to me this evening and I wanted to share the information with you.
If you are a veteran or active duty member and need help due to the Congressional shutdown, please contact the VFW Unmet Needs hotline at 1-866-789-6333 option 1. I just checked out their website and it contains additional information about the grants they provide for those in need.
