Deshalamar CDC 501 c 3

As President of Deshalamar Community Development Corp. , I myself am a Honorably
discharged Veteran. Having personal experience, working one on one with displaced
Veterans, at a local Veterans Residence Shelter on Long Island New York. I see the
needs of my fellow Vets, and I see the urgency to meet those needs. Many of the men
and women who have served our country return home to find that they do not have
the same stability they once had before deployment. It’s a fact that post traumatic
stress disorder when left untreated causes many of our Vets to be homeless, while
many turn to substance abuse. 1 in 4 of the homeless population is an American
Veteran. After taking office, President Obama affirmed his commitment to ending
homelessness among veterans, saying at an appearance at the VA Central Office,
“And we provide new help for homeless veterans, because those heroes have
a home – it’s the country they served, the United States of America. And until we
reach a day when not a single veteran sleeps on our nation’s streets, our work
remains unfinished. Deshalamar Community Development Corp. is dedicated to doing
our part to reach that day.
Please contact us today and see how you can help a Vet in need today, we owe
them more than we will ever be able to repay.
Be blessed!
