Please accept our thanks for all you do for our Veterans! We care deeply about human rights, dignity and those who have fought to preserve our freedom and other blessings. We are grateful to continue our 20 years of investing in your mission.

Thank you!

My heart goes out to all of our Veterans and my sincere wishes for a better life! I am proud to donate to this great mission.

We are pleased to support the great mission of PVA. As a Veteran, I know the value of commitment and service. We are proud donors for over 20 years. We also know many who have been helped by their National Services Officers. We contribute all that we have to give!

As we approach the 75th Anniversary of D-Day, I am honored to be part of your mission. Thank you for all you do for Veterans.

So grateful that PVA keeps me in the loop. My donations at work--advocacy, benefits,jobs,research,education and much more. For every Veteran. Pleased to continue to give when we can.

This year I will be 88 and living on a fixed income. However, I find it gratifying to know my gifts to PVA honor and support any and ALL veterans. Please continue your important work. My prayers are with you for success. Thank you!!!

Through your Chapter in our city and the work of your Service Officers in our area we know how much you do for our Vets. We are proud to contribute!

As a Vietnam Veteran and frequent donor, I am happy to contribute to support a great mission which helps all Veterans. A few of my friends have been helped in their final days by the great and compassionate work you are doing with ALS. Keep up the great work!

I am a vet & find their tactics deplorable!! Trying to put donors on a guilt trip sending crap for donations is awful. I have written the President of this group twice without a response. How unfair to vets that need help!!!!! DISGUSTING!

I view my annual gift as an investment in our veterans and our collaboration to help fulfill your mission. Please continue with your important work and I will continue to invest and pray for your success.

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.
