Help paralyzed veterans through Wheels Helping Warriors | Letter

During the holiday season, many find themselves wondering how to honor the men and women who have so bravely served our country. Currently, there are more than 18,000 paralyzed veterans across the country who are members of Paralyzed Veterans of America, with more than 400 living right here in Washington. There are countless stories of neighbors picking up a restaurant tab or saluting a soldier in the streets, but it is often hard to find a way to truly give back to those who have sacrificed so much.

The Paralyzed Veterans of America are making it much easier through Wheels Helping Warriors, a vehicle donation program that raises funds to help provide veterans access to free employment counseling, benefits assistance, advocacy, adaptive sports and recreation programs and more. They take all types of vehicles for donation including motorcycles, motor homes, cars, trucks, boats, tractors, etc., regardless of the condition.

Donations are tax-deductible. More importantly, money raised through donations goes directly back to the veterans who need it most.

This holiday season, let’s truly give back. I urge you to consider donating a vehicle, or spreading the word to others who might be able to donate. You can call (866) 841-2023 and they’ll pick up your vehicle for free. This is an easy and meaningful way to honor those who deserve it most.
