Military veterans in the Tyler, Texas area will soon receive veterans benefits as a result of the $89,394 donated to help fund the Fresh Start Veterans Residence.

In a recent announcement made by the Disabled Veterans National Foundation, it was made known that the financial support for the housing initiative was aimed at homeless veterans with difficulty finding affordable places to live.

President of DVNF, Precilla Wilkewitz, commented, “Fresh Start in Tyler Texas is just that, a complete fresh start for our heroes who deserve a new beginning in their lives after giving so much to the country.”  Wilkewitz went on to say, “We are so honored to be able to support groups like Fresh Start.

Wilkewitz further pointed out that donations to national veteran services groups are more than just providing a home and food for some veterans; they are providing former military personnel with the assistance needed to get back on their feet.

According to the DVNF website, the organization works in tandem with other organizations with similar missions to provide life-changing services for disabled veterans and their families. The services are geared toward male and female veterans alike who suffer from a variety of mental and physical disabilities including post traumatic stress disorder.
