My Mom worked for decades with our Veterans in CA, VA, IL and DC. She knew that the best way to make sure our Vets were receiving all of their benefits and ensuring high levels of care was continued involvement and support of PVA. I am proud to continue our family's legacy of supporting PVA.

Thank you for all that you accomplish for our Vets.

My heart goes out to our Veterans and those that help them out. Blessings on all of the work you do for those who have Served our Nation.

I mailed a check yesterday in memory of a family member. I am so grateful to your National Service Officers who helped us during his final illness. You were there for us. We will never forget your thoughtful help and compassion.
Thank you!!!

I am a Vet and continue to struggle with ALS. Your Bay Area service officers have been very helpful as I battle this disease. Please accept our thanks for your patient help as my family and I fight for my benefits and assistance.

The Paralyzed Veterans is the only organization to which I donate. Let's not ever forget our young men and women who suffered serving our country. Their lives have dramatically changed. I cannot afford to donate much, as I am on a fixed income, but I will give when I can. Thank you for being there for our injured veterans.

I donate to several charities each year, ranging from total donations of $1,000.00, all the way down to $25.00. And each one always sends an annual giving receipt. For instance, this year, I donated $25.00 to Toys For Tots, and I received an annual giving receipt. I donated $60.00 to the American Red Cross, and I received an annual giving receipt. I donated $100.00 this year to Paralyzed Veterans of America. I received a letter, dated 31 January, 2019, thanking me for donating "$0.00" in 2018. I called the charity on 12 Feb, and spoke to a woman named Denise. She apologized for the mix up and said she would have an accurate annual giving summary emailed to me in 48 to 72 hours. That meant Friday, 15 Feb, or, at the very latest, Monday, 18 Feb. (What takes a charity 72 hours to generate an email in the first place?) On Monday, 18 Feb, I still had not received an annual receipt, so I called again. This time, I spoke to a young woman named Sierra. I explained the situation to her, and said I needed the receipt because I had an appointment with my tax accountant on Thursday, 21 Feb. She spoke offline to a Supervisor, who assured her that he could see by my computer file that the email was "being prepared for release that day." I asked her to confirm that I would receive the email by close of business, and she did so. I did not receive an email. I called back on 19 Feb. This time a woman named Jasmine answered, and I immediately asked to speak to a supervisor. She asked the reason and I told her. She went offline for a moment, came back, and told me that no supervisors were available, because they were all in a meeting. I asked her is she could see my file. She said yes. I asked her to email me a copy and she refused, saying that she didn't have authorization. I said, "Yes you do, the authorization was granted to send the email last night." She refused to send me a copy of my annual giving receipt, saying that she would have a supervisor call me back.

I am a Veteran myself. I have lost friends, and a brother in the service of this country. I had hoped that Paralyzed Veterans of America lived up to their mission, but sadly, I must say that they have the poorest donor services, and the shoddiest bookkeeping practices I have ever seen. I will not be giving any more of my money to PVA, and I fully plan to file a complaint with the US Attorney General about their poor bookkeeping. I will also negatively rate them at every opportunity I have.

One of the signs of how a charity effectively uses the money donated to it is how efficiently it tracks and receipts its donors. Since PVA fails so miserably at the later, I have to assume that they are equally inept at the former. If I could rate this charity lower than one star, I would.

It is a privilege to donate to something or someone I know really appreciates it, and in return, I have received a wonderful thank you letter outlining their important work. Thank you all so very much!

I've been supporting this organization for over 15 years because they have helped so many veterans. I looked at their financials and clearly see that they deliver their services at minimal expense. There are so many organizations that waste their donations on frivolous expenses. PVA's leadership is solid and membership in the organization is free. Keep up the great work!

I came to the PVA because I thought they were my last resort since the VA had turned me down multiple times for a medical issue related to my 3 tours in Vietnam. Thanks to their guidance and caring support, I was able to receive some medical assistance through the VA. If it weren't for the PVA, I don't know where I would be.

I am so impressed that the Executive committee and chapter Boards are comprised of paralyzed veterans members. If anyone should know the needs, concerns, required services and coordination required with the Veterans Administration and other veteran service organizations, it would be a veteran intimately familiar with the challenges of paralysis. I was able to attend one of their National Wheelchair Games and was moved by the determination and courage of these disabled veterans. They provide wonderful programs, personal assistance and services for our paralyzed veterans.

Your service in support of ALL Veterans is reliable and dependable. Your leadership and staff are diligent and appreciated making our lives easier and rewarding. Thank you!

I have been an advocate for Veterans my entire life. Paralyzed Veterans of America continues to do great work on behalf of all Veterans, especially those with spinal cord injury and disease. As a donor, not only do I receive great stewardship, but i feel that they inform me as to how my investment is actually helping Veterans in their everyday lives.

We stand with you in solidarity and deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by our veteran heroes. Thank you for your continuing work.

Both of us have contributed for years investing in your mission to help all veterans. Thank you for all of your services and hard work on behalf of those who protect our Freedom.

My mother, a World War II Navy Nurse, is a big fan of all of the work you do! She worked in the Washington State Naval Hospital caring for our troops returning from the Pacific. When the War ended she married, raised her family and continued to work as a R.N. She is a life-long contributor and believer is your efforts on behalf of all of our Veterans. Thank you PVA.

My prayers are with all Veterans and this is my favorite charity. I personally know Vets who have been helped by your expert team of National Service Officers. I am pleased to increase my support. Keep is going!

This charity spends almost as much money on fund-raising as it does on programs for the vets they supposedly serve. NOT a 4 or 5-star charity.

Another great year of successes for all of our Veterans. Thank you PVA!

We contribute monthly and are proud to support our Vets.

My husband was proud of his military service. He suffered from ALS and PVA assisted him with making a claim and obtaining benefits during his illness. It was through PVA's expert guidance that we were able to receive the assistance. PVA has also been very helpful to me in receiving survivor's benefits after my husband's death. The staff and their recommendations were kind and compassionate and of a very positive nature when so many challenges presented themselves. We are most grateful to PVA and their diligent efforts.
