when I came to the vlp, I just lost my job a d have two kids to raise, as a single father I fear that we would lose the apartment and be on the streets. Karen Payne and Mik Bodis help me wit h housing and fi ding employment. They have been a great source of help to me a d many veterans. Providing assistqnce and resources to avoid ma y of us to fall rougb the cracks. I don't know where I and my boys be without them. I support the veterans leadership program and highly recommend i as a source for veterans like me that have fallen interesting hard times. Edwin J. Sostre

Mr. Mercer,
Butch and VLP really came through for me when I was homeless and needed assistance with money. I am a client of VLP. Butch is my case manager and I wanted to tell you all how much I appreciated the Tribute to Veterans even on the 25th. It was very well organized and thoughtful. I was extremely proud to be a Veteran . Vlp is the best and its people are the best.
Regards,
Bob. B

As I sat in my apartment, I looked around and I cried. I know VLP are doing their jobs. Not just doing their job because it takes more than book knowledge to do the job they do. You honestly care. For that this is my way of saying thank you. Mary, Karen and dan are caring and sharing and to the 3 of you and the staff I say a personal Thank you. Last nut certainly not lease, a very special thanks to “the man” my god for putting you all in my life.
Always,
James

I want to personally thank Diane Mandell for her time and hospitality that she showed me when I came in yesterday for my interview for the Housing Case Manager position. It was a real pleasure meeting her and the rest of VLP. The first person you encounter in an organization really sets the tone for the rest of the time you work with that organization. Diane really made me feel at home and welcomed.
Thank you,
Daryl

I have been volunteering for the past 3 years off and on at VLP events. I have never come across a group of individuals who genially care for Veterans the way they do. I have personally seen them come together as a team in a moment of crisis involving a homeless Veteran. They got him off the street into a house and started working on getting him a job. Every Veteran is treated with dignity and respect no matter if you served 20 years and 5 combat tours or 30 days and was discharged. It’s been an honor to volunteer with VLP and I will definitely continue to do so. Veterans served their country, now its time for us to serve them.
Sincerely,
Colleen G.

I want to thank Mike Bodis and the team of VLP. Thank you so much for representing the Military and speaking at our recent Military Day assemblies. It was a privilege to have you and your agency participate in the program and have the opportunity to honor you and all the others who serve our country. Thank you too you and all of your team for the good work you continue to do with Veterans of all kind.
Sincerely,
Daniel Z.

I have been a client for several years with many different housing programs in the community. I am a Army veteran. I also tackle a mental health and drug addiction diagnosis. I was in VLP housing programs for several years. With their assistance and personal caring from all the staff including my case manager Mike Bodis. Karen was amazing with me when I was looking for employment. Butch was the first person I met in housing and was always there when I needed him. I could talk about everyone and how much they helped me, but there isnt enough room for that. I was able to secure a job with the local federal government. If it wasn’t for all the people at VLP and the personal touch they give, I would of never been able to be where I am now, which is helping other Veterans. Personally I thank you for everything.

I am so genuinely grateful for all of the assistance VLP has provided me through their program. I honestly did not know how I was going to finish nursing school, especially as part time employment and a 48 yr old father. It is in no small part that through their offices help that I was able to graduate Nursing School and will soon obtain my Bachelors Degree in Nursing. I have struggled over the past 2 years to work toward being able to provide a stable home for my two daughters. (9 and 6). Now that I have recently been blessed with a position as a Registered Nurse in the Pediatric ICU hospital at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, it was their assistance that helped me afford to finish my education in my time of need and for this I thank them. As I begin caring for the ill children of families that are facing their own struggles I will always be grateful for VLP. The generosity, consideration and caring of the entire team has been a god send. The team members will always be in my prayers and I sincerely thank them for all the assistance.
