Review for VFW National Home , Eaton Rapids, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I became aware of the National Home for Children after I won the National VFW Voice of Democracy Speech Competition. What an incredible place. What better way to contribute to the future of America than supporting the children and orphans of veterans. I met lots of the kids who live at the home at the National VFW Convention in Reno, Nevada. They are remarkable, and the home is remarkable. It is like a community of homes, and the children go to the local public schools, participate in little league, and eventually are supported through college. I put banks in all my local stores to raise money for the home. Now I am a junior at Princeton thanks to my VFW Voice of Democracy scholarship. As soon as I graduate and start working, I will definitely contribute to the National Home. Please give now; and go visit: it's awesome.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

meeting some of the children who live there.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

get more public awareness of the National Home and what it does.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

incredibly fun and kind.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

build more houses and take in more kids.

Ways to make it better...

I could have donated more money.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

getting the word out. Not many people in America know about it. I wish President Obama would visit there.
