Welcome to Disabled Vets Car Donation. My name is Robert Hess. I’m a 90% disabled Vietnam veteran with 80% of my disability combat-related. Almost half of my disability stems from Agent Orange-related prostate cancer. I know first hand the challenges disabled veterans face in getting their lives back on track.
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, there are roughly 22 million veterans in the general U.S. population. The number of veterans from recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is expected to surge to 3.8 million by 2018, but there are still 7.2 million veterans from the Vietnam war alone.
Roughly 30% of those newest veterans have a service-related disability, while about 8% live in poverty. 16% of other veterans are similarly injured and 7% of that broader group are living in poverty.
There is a huge need in America’s veteran population.
The Veterans Administration now provides medical care for over 5 million veterans and more than 40,000 veterans are diagnosed each year with cancer. That’s a staggering number.
