Greetings, Team Whoa, Record number of Clinic Veterans Asking for help!
Our TVLC Legal Clinic Thursday 1.29.26, at American Legion Sauls Bridges Post 13, featured our volunteer Team of 22, including 7 attorneys (same number as last week), BUT working with 28 Veterans and family walking in and 5 others by phone; Veterans volunteered with set up, intakes, etc. even though their court-ordered community service requirements have already been completed. (Khalid, Charles, Gregory, Shane).
This week the Leon Co Tax Collector’s office helped at the Legal Clinic and assisted several Veterans in moving forward next steps toward Reinstating their Driver’s Licenses! They have been coming once a month, similar to the Leon Co Property Appraiser’s office. Several participants this week were able to get non-invasive colon cancer tests right there in the Legion Hall during clinic, thanks to the creative participation of Guardant Health, waytogo, Jonathan Everly! Hope you two will be able to return to offer the free testing to other Vets and families visiting the walk-in clinic.
Veterans will be visiting the Capital this week to remind Florida Legislators that many of us are watching what they are doing for and TO Veterans. Numerous Veteran-related bills were heard in Committees last week and more are scheduled in the coming week. See www.flsenate.gov for info on the now three dozen Veteran-related bills proposed this year. Let us know if you want our “tracker” listing of the ongoing status of the bills, which we update daily. Please volunteer to help if you can.
Leon County Veterans Treatment Court will be in session Monday, February 9, , 3 PM in the downtown Courthouse, Courtroom 2E. The quarterly Graduation Ceremony is coming up on February 23, a great opportunity to be inspired by the successes of Veterans concluding their Court obligations. Please consider coming to observe/ maybe becoming a Veteran Mentor for the Vets working their way through the program and recovery.
TVLC’s truck and trailer load of food was delivered Wednesday to several places and was worked by Veterans Khalid Shafi, Charles Robinson, David Martinez, Gregory Howard, Chris Bodiford and Eddie McMillian. Other friends donated food, clothing, and handwarmers to help meet the colder weather these 2 weeks. Thanks, Chris Moore, Susie, Linda Broga and others for the extra effort/sharing.
Donations to TVLC from various events in recent months and ongoing supporters are helping Veterans successfully reinstate their Driver’s Licenses, sometimes after years of being unable to lawfully drive. The donations also provide gas for the weekly Food Delivery trips to Quincy for the various Veteran housing facilities around the region.
What else?
Thank you,
