Essential Details About Vietnam Vets Donations

By William Fox


Vietnam veterans are soldiers who were serving the armed forces of the United States and the allied countries during Vietnam War. This includes who were stationed in Vietnam and those who were not as long as they were part of it. United States and the allied countries lost the war and had suffered heavy casualties during those battles.

This is why a lot of veteran soldiers are suffering now from disabilities that cannot make ends meet when they were discharged from their service. Some even are having PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder that makes it difficult for society readjustment. This is why the Vietnam vets donation is an important thing for people to do.

Almost fifty thousand veterans does not have any place they can call home and sleeps either on the street or in common houses dedicated to them. This is because they do not have a family of their own anymore or are estranged with theirs. Some reasons of them being estranged is because of their problems to readjust to society.

One reason of their problem is having PTSD which is being experienced by one in five veteran soldiers. This mental disorder is the result of the traumatic event they had experienced like during the Indochina war. Some of the symptoms are having disturbing dreams, thoughts or feelings related with the event that causes the trauma.

Another problem is their disability they got from the time they were serving the armed forces which is making it harder for them to live. The usual disabilities are dismembered limbs either one or more of them so some of them use prosthetic or wheelchairs to move around. This is why there are vet centers dedicated to help them.

Government services are available and is provided to them including benefits such as cash compensation if they were found to be eligible. The factors for their eligibility include injuries received, both mental or physical, during their service in the war. But these benefits are not enough specifically to those not found to be eligible enough so donations are needed.

Donations may come in various forms, either financially or by kind, which is given to dedicated organizations for this cause. The donations are not meant only for the veteran soldier but also for those that are living together with them. Examples are the following, small furniture, books, electronic devices, toys, household items and furniture.

Events are being organized also to raised funds in helping organizations provide services that they badly need. These include funding for medical treatment needed for their injuries as well as buying medical devices or equipment like wheelchairs and prosthetic. These events are a way also for them to see and reunite with their former compatriots to be updated about each other.

So it is important for people to reach out a helping hand to those who had suffered the effects of wars specially the ones who have no one with them anymore. Donating is only a part of this and there are other ways you can assist them. The government must also do their part to provide benefits to those who really need them.
