I WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE CHRISTINA ROOF, DEPUTY LEGISTRATIVE DIRECTOR AT AMVETS. CHRISTINA HAS REALLY DONE A FINE JOB WITH A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT VETERANS' AFFAIRS, LEGISLATION, AND PROBLEMS.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS CHRISTINA AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE YOU REPRESENT AMVETS ON THE HILL.
I have been trying to navigate through these organization as a female veteran who is homeless and pregnant at this time; searching for some kind of help, all I get is well we can't help you because you don't have some kind of substance abuse and since you are pregnant you don't qualify for the rest of the program we offer or we don't have that much program for women vets but if you were a male we would of been able to help. I hear of so call help for women veteran where is that who are they and what happen to women vets who are pregnant who don't fall in these obscene rules that makes it impossible to get help to those of us that don't fit the norm. I have been trying since I gotten pregnant now I am 9 months pregnant and all I still get is unfortunately we can cant help with your current situation,or there are no program out there for people like you in this situation. It looks like to me what these program are made for is not help those of us who just need a little help to get on our feet, to wait for you to loose all hope, self respect, pride, self-worth before they say well OK now we can help you since you no longer feel like a human being.
