Bob Woodruff Foundation Awards Second $100,000 for Jericho's Veterans Initiative
ReMIND.org, a Bob Woodruff Foundation initiative, has awarded its second $100,000 grant to Jericho Project for use in helping veterans from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who sustained Traumatic Brain Injury and/or Post Traumatic Stress. Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness roughly four times faster than veterans of the Vietnam War, within a few years of returning versus nine to twelve years for veterans returning to the States after Vietnam.
“We need to support our veterans in recovering their physical and mental strengths, but also the social acuity that creates a quality of life,” said René Bardorf, Executive Director of the Bob Woodruff Foundation.
