No Warrior without Help serves every veteran and service member who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service. We believe that ALL veterans that honorably served their country should be entitled to support. The veterans we serve struggle daily with the aftermath of their sacrifices they made on the battlefield. Most of us take for granted those sacrifices made and for those coping with visible and invisible injuries, we are here ensure that they are provided with a service at no cost. We advocate with local professionals and non-profits to partner with us to ensure the hero receives the best services available to ensure safe handling of a service animal in public. In addition to the physical wounds, it is estimated as many as 400,000 service members live with the invisible wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Another 320,000 are believed to have experienced a traumatic brain injury while on deployment. So involvement in a non-traditional therapeutic setting with other veterans have proven successful many times and long lasting. We have been founded on the principles that should a veteran need help and we have the ability to step in for a brief moment and truly assist with an issue, we will certainly attempt to make a difference in a heroes life. We believe in honoring the donors faith in us to use their contributions to our organization exactly where we say we use them. No Warrior without Help will not attempt to derail the trust given to us at face value and provide meaningless support that does nothing for our veterans. Nor will we use these contributions in a manner that conflicts with the values we believe in. No Warrior without Help is 100 percent volunteer and there is not a single wage earned for the tireless effort given to us by our team. Our volunteers receive compensation far greater than any financial gain can provide. We guarantee that we will not use any portion of our funds to support or promote violence, terrorist activity or related training of any kind, either directly or indirectly (including through support of other organizations or persons engaged in such activity). In addition, our organization affirms the nonprofit is not a charitable organization designated by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control as Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons. We have Non-Discrimination Policies that apply to all projects or programs funded by the organization. We will not discriminate against a person or group on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, gender identity, disability, status as a disabled veteran, political preference, sexual orientation, pregnancy, membership or non-membership in any lawful organization, or other basis prohibited by local laws or regulations.

Operation Love Our Vets serves, supports and honors Veterans of all eras who served our nation in both war and peacetime. Our goal is the dignified reintegration of the Veteran into their larger community through compassion, encouragement and collaborative service.
