The Problem

Struggling veterans are missing urgent appointments to claim benefits allocated to them due to the lack of reliable transportation and  it's costing  our communities millions.
When veterans miss their housing appointments, the result is often homelessness which leads to mental / physical health problems.
*The annual cost of services for a chronically homeless person on the street is $100,759.
Missed medical appointments results in poorer health and medical debt, adding to the cost of our national healthcare.
*The annual cost of missed medical appointments in all U.S. is $150 Billion.
Disabled Veterans that can't just call uber, miss life dependent appointments everyday resulting in missed job opportunities, court dates, and more.
Veterans have certain benefits that have already been allocated to them by government, but if they don't claim them because they couldn't get a ride to their benefit appointment, the result is the rampart homelessness, mental health problems, and self harm acts that plague our veterans and our communities.
Shuttles4Soldiers is a non-profit organization offering modified transportation services to veterans in need.

We are leading the charge in combating veteran neglect by providing adequate transportation.

Our veterans have been ignored for far too long. Our work helps veterans who face strenuous hardship keep life dependent appointments with medical offices, relocation housing programs, job or career opportunities, court appearances etc. Keeping veterans housed and living healthier dignified lives impacts us all.
However, we can't do this by ourselves. 
We need supporters to help fund these trips.
Together we can give veterans the dignity and respect they deserve.
