I was staying in city shelter that was harming my health and service connected disability. When I was in dire need of a safe place to sleep for the night, this agency welcomed me and worked hard to help me get placed somewhere safer. The night volunteer went as far as making a run to the store for over the counter medicine to further relieve my situation and had breakfast for me upon waking. Another fellow veteran volunteer drove me to the VA that morning to navigate resources given to me and later that day I was accepted into veteran housing. I am humbled by and grateful for this organization who made asking for help easy while also empowering me to do the next best thing for myself. Thank you, Veterans Rebuilding Life, for reminding me I’m not alone and helping me keep safe and off the streets that night.

This organization is amazing. I initially contacted them to write a paper for college and upon speaking to one of the staff, Damia, this is all around a very helpful and diverse establishment. They do so much for the veteran community and overall, I would recommend this service to all veterans in need. Thank you Damia for your time!

Veterans Rebuilding life heard me out, helped me feel sure of myself going to school, and made it easy to get the ball rolling again as far as my VA claims go. The staff there is mostly veterans and the non veteran staff was all about helping me get in touch with someone here that would help. The ambiance and professionalism at VRL is unmatched.

I am a college student doing a social justice project on veterans. As part of my project I interviewed Damia (the Project Administrator). She was extremely kind and helpful. Learning about this organization was really inspiring and learning about the foundations of this organization was incredible. This is a true not for profit organization that makes real and meaningful impacts!! Once I reached out for contact they got back to me right away so for anyone interested in volunteering definitely check out their website and apply to volunteer!!

I spent veterans day volunteering with this amazing group of combat vets, 1st responders, church pastors, and students, helping war refugees move into a new home, and start life over. It's good to know that in-spite of all the darkness we face today, there are still good people out there, doing good work.

Literally a life-changing organization, not just for veterans but for the entire community. Not only did they deliver free PPE to my local community center/ food bank, but they also provided food, diapers, baby formula, and even purchased a freezer for future food donations which will help keep fresh produce for those who have limited access in our neighborhood. This is what every donation goes towards and I cannot say that about too many other organizations in our area. Thank you so much for the work you do VRL!

As the proud granddaughter of a Vietnam Vet, I'm no stranger to the needs of America's veterans. I'm also no stranger to how little has changed with unemployment, homelessness and suicide rates among vets. That's what brought me to volunteer with: Veterans Rebuilding Life (VRL). Open 24/7, VRL volunteers assist vets around the clock. Every member has made personal sacrifices to ensure each mission is accomplished. Veterans Rebuilding Life even contacted me to ensure I was safe, during the darkest period of the pandemic. VRL volunteers distributed PPE at the epicenter of the pandemic, in Queens, NY. Veterans Rebuilding Life is by far the most committed organization I've ever had the pleasure of volunteering with.

I got to know VRL's founders long before creating the non-profit when they generously funded the heart surgery of an Iraqi child I referred to them after all other doors closed. She recovered beautifully thanks to them. It's been over a decade now and their enthusiasm and commitment to children in war zones continues to snowball. It is certainly a privilege and an honor to get to know them and work with them.

This organization and specifically Damia has gone over and beyond when I was going through a tough time with my vehicle. Providing me the way to commute around the city has been a life saver while my vehicle was being repaired. As a veteran I am very thankful for the assistance when I least expected it and know you've impacted my life positively. Can't thank you all enough for all you do.

VRL is simply, the best. The organization as a whole and the gracious people who encompass VRL are truly there to help. I cannot say enough great words about this organization and, as a VRL volunteer, I'm grateful to be apart of the amazing community.
