We are raising money to benefit Canine Companions USA (CCUSA). We, along with Corporate Sponsors, Partners and other Community Based businesses are working together to build Independent Veterans Villages in Florida. These villages approximately 20 Acres each and provide all Veteran services including, but not limited to:
- Fully trained service dogs
- Canine support and training
- Veterans benefits
- Housing help
- Medical equipment
- Community based job training and placement assistance and more
These sites will have 600 to 800 sq. ft. cabin-style housing, full private living quarters for the Veterans and their canine companions, a centralized gathering space for food, entertainment, recreation, gym, outdoor activities and places for quiet thought and reflection.
We have onsite professionals from Kennel Masters, Master Trainers and a host of other Veteran Support Services who reside on-site full-time to assist. Each home will house one Veteran and their canine companion, who will become qualified as a service dog and handler team (CCUSA Team).
Once a CCUSA Team leaves us, it’s not over! We help with other various costs from food, to veterinary care, equipment and ongoing training.
Our veterans will also have assistance in filing for benefits, access to medical staff and licensed professionals for mental health or physical therapy services and 24/7 access to counselors, should the need arise.
This transitional housing is for veterans at any stage of their military career or life stage. We will provide assistance in getting back into the community. Each veteran is paired with another more experienced Veteran who is already half-way through their program to assist and guide new veterans through to beginning a new life and whole new world of opportunities.
We also offer onsite recreation. We have a community based club house equipped with exercise equipment, pool table, darts, television, wi-fi, outdoor jacuzzi and lap pool for rehabilitation and relaxation. Socialization is crucial to recovery.
The site is monitored 24/7 by onsite staff and video surveillance, as well as a security gate and granted access.
Your donation is a blessing and will help change many lives. Our goal is simple; provide quality services to veterans and their families, give them a judgement free environment and refuge. We also provide solace and relaxation to rebuild and strengthen from within.
ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED 100% FREE, TO ALL VETERANS. ALL BOARD MEMBERS WORK AS VOLUNTEERS AND TAKE NO SALARIES.
