Greetings all,

I received the information below directly from the home office and was asked to spread the word. So here it is for your reading pleasure.



=======================================

As you may be aware, Rebuilding Together and Sears Holdings have for combined forces to assist veterans and military families in need with free home repairs and modifications through the Heroes at Home program. I am hoping you can let these heroes in need know that help is available and direct them to their local Rebuilding Together affiliate.


We are actively seeking more veterans to assist. The program is open to low-income and disabled veterans of various military backgrounds, military widows and active duty military families. We are writing today because we need your help in spreading the word about our services.


Please ask veterans in need to contact their nearest Rebuilding Together affiliate as soon as possible. Affiliates can be easily found at http://www.rebuildingtogether.org/content/organization/map


Since the inception of Heroes at Home in 2007, we have completed nearly 300 projects across the country with a combined market value of over 3.8 million dollars. In 2009, we plan to complete hundreds more projects and we need your help to find more veterans who need assistance. If you would like to learn more about our program, or if you have a veteran to recommend for our services, please contact any one of Rebuilding Together’s Veterans Housing team, Vanessa Georgeson <mailto:vgeorgeson@rebuildingtogether.org> , Hyewon Kim <mailto:hkim@rebuildingtogether.org> , or T.J. Cantwell <mailto:tcantwell@rebuildingtogether.org> , who will be happy to assist you. Also, feel free to visit our website at www.rebuildingtogether.org/heroesathome With the assistance of people like you, we will continue to help our veterans and service members remain comfortable and safe in their homes and give back to those who have given us so much.

Thanks you for posting this. Here is the action it created on my behalf. This went to my local chapter and I know I can be of service.


Kevin, thank you for your effort in helping veterans in need! I received notice of your effort thru Military.com. I own a real estate company in Worcester and would like to know how I might be of service.

I already have a program called ‘Public Safety Program’ where I contribute $500 towards a veteran’s attorney fees however, if I can help my fellow veteran further, I am willing to get involved.

I can be reached at my office at (508) 792-**** or on my cell at (508) 335-****.

Let's all get together and help those in need that had the courage to raise their hands and defend the rights of other! They earned our help.

18470400, If you haven't already go to the veteran sites and talk to some people. Sounds like reason enough for me to get a claim going if you don't have one already.

There are more just try the search command (find button) to see them, I put in Lejeune water.

This is what I sent to this outfit:
Hello I have head about your program thru Military.Com a Monster internet program.

I am a vet, I served from 1966 to 1974. Have a honorabale discharged. I was wondering if there were any income limits, My wife and I have a combined income of right at $xx,000.00.

At this time I am trying to make payments on a powered chair due to really bad and very painful knees. I would kindly like to request any information that you may be able to send me..

This is the reply I received:

Please check with your Area Office on Aging. We make home repairs and are restricted to Franklin County at this time.

So unless you live in a major city your still out of luck... I figured this sounded too good to be true...

Thanks anyway Rob you tried...
