The following sites help veterans exposed to asbestos during military service who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma. We connect with Veterans Service Officers, training and assisting them in working with veterans with mesothelioma and asbestos-related diseases in their communities.
As a result of the military’s past reliance on asbestos, countless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening diseases caused by asbestos exposure. Our organization provides free information, resources, and personal assistance to those who have been affected by these diseases and can even help veterans file for their VA benefits.
We’re dedicated to helping veterans and families who were stationed at Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1987 which had two contaminated water supply systems. Nearly 1 million people were exposed to toxic chemicals that have been proven to cause cancer and other serious health conditions. Due to the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, we’re now able to get justice for the victims. Our veteran’s page gives a great breakdown of VA benefits and steps vets can take if they’ve been impacted: https://www.
Veterans with special needs children may qualify for VA benefits such as Tricare or Echo. The Cerebral Palsy Guide is proud to support our military families through education, support resources, and much more.
