Today, we have the honor of driving out this vehicle that was donated by a local business. This project was started and finished by veterans. Typically with 1 mentor and 1 Alumni, wrenching it together and going through their struggles and triumphs to get it going.
We are currently working with a Marine Veteran that is restarting his life after many years of struggles. He has the intelligence and strength but could have used a mentor throughout his tribulations.
Part of that journey forward are housing, transportation and work. This vehicle will be gifted and titled to him. It will forever be a reminder of his struggle and his patch forward. This car definitely has a larger front windshield then a rear window iykyk.
I want to thank the local SW Ohio veteran service organizations ( Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW, The American Legion National Headquarters , ) that make donations towards NXTStep Vets to help us provide housing and those little emergency situations for our veteran community.
I want to especially thank Vibrant Nutrition for the vehicle donation and our veteran mentor volunteers that made this possible.
