DONATION
Calling all Veteran Supporters

For a CHANGE will YOU spare your change $ $ ¢ ¢ to help "underserved" disabled veterans and their eliglble family members who are striving to help themselves finish higher education goals and succeed in the workforce!
The "underserved" veteran and other persons with disability, are those who are NOT eligible to receive needed VA and other community services BECAUSE
- they are unable to prove a Service-Connected Disability and/or have a low disability rating that disqualies them from many VA services
- lack access to resources due to geographic location, transportation and a variety of social, economic, psychological, and cultural issues
- need our help to CONNECT to resources in their community
- need us to EDUCATE them about self-advocacy, self-help, accommodations and mediation for discrimination complaints
- need our SUPPORT from qualified Mentors to overcome emotional and financial crisis that impact their performance in the classroom and/or workplace
When YOU or your organization gives a tax-deductible donation of any amount, starts a Sponsorship of our Talk Shows and programs, and/or volunteers time, this is what happens:
- HOPE is restored for those in the struggle to juggle class, work, pain, stress, disability, and even parenting schedules
- Drop-Out from school, work , and life is minimized.
- Transportation/Travel expenses are paid for us to take the White Apple Institute Talk Shows and Programs to college campuses, homeless shelters, food banks, job fairs, community agencies, and Faith-based organizations, or wherever we can find those "underserved".
- You inspire others to focus on what they can do versus can't do by taking a bite of White Apple Wisdom to change their perception of "disabled to "different;y-abled.
