The devastation caused by COVID-19 is catastrophic

As the commerce of our nation grinds to a halt amid the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), many are finding themselves suddenly unemployed and unable to provide for themselves and their families.

Veterans with disabilities are disproportionately more vulnerable to the impact of COVID-19. For our nation’s 4.7 million disabled veterans, the coronavirus creates a set of unique challenges—not only do service-connected illnesses place these individuals in higher-risk categories, but many now also face a dire financial situation due to lost income.

There are thousands of disabled veterans in need, and DAV is here to help.

In response to this unprecedented event, we are establishing a COVID-19 Relief Fund to provide help to service-connected disabled veterans who have lost employment.
