Serving Those that Protected Us
Ask any psychologist, and they will tell you “The first problem a patient brings you is never the real problem.” Ask any sales manager that trains new salespeople to overcome sales objections and they will tell you they teach the same philosophy. Ask your pastor, doctor, lawyer even your auto mechanic. All learn to ask more questions. HOW CAN I HELP?
2nd Chance Foundation acts as the NEXUS in our mission to help Veterans’, First Responders and their Families guide to helping.
Number of Veteran & Military Non-Profits
There are more than 45,000 military and veteran non-profits in the United States. It’s hard to know which ones are legitimate, and worth giving your time and hard-earned money. You need to know whether your donations are funding services for those in need, especially with so many recently exposed scams.
Where does a Veteran or First Responder go for help? Our challenge and even theirs is knowing the challenge.
