Our Crowdfunding Groups
We are excited to announce that we have met and surpassed our $5,000 goal!
Thanks to everyone who has generously donated and taken the time to share our Veterans Legal Practicum crowdfunding campaign with your families, friends, and colleagues. You helped us raise a total of $5,050 in five weeks, which we will use to continue to help veterans obtain the benefits that they deserve.
Thank you for your generous support!
Many thanks to everyone who has helped us continue to serve veterans by making a contribution to our program. Two weeks ago, students in our program went to Washington Navy Yard to present a discharge upgrade case for a deserving ex-Marine. Last week, we filed a brief in the Court of Federal Claims for a veteran who was unfairly denied military disability retirement payments. And in the coming days, we will be filing two lawsuits in Federal Court to overturn erroneous decisions of the Board of Corrections of Naval Records. Mental health issues among our returning service members are one of the leading causes of early separations with less than fully honorable discharges. Thank you for supporting our efforts to get veterans the benefits they earned by serving our country.
