“I am grateful for this organization, They made asking for help easy. Thank you Veterans Rebuilding Life, for reminding me that I’m not alone. Thank you for keeping me safe and off the streets that night.”

Kia Shiever, Air Force Veteran

It was approaching midnight on Sunday evening, when the phone began ringing. Military veteran: Kia Shiever, seeking solace and a lifeline, reached out to Veterans Rebuilding Life headquarters in Queens, NY.

Her journey had led her through a series of sudden personal tragedies, leaving her adrift in an unfamiliar city. Isolated and without the comfort of friends, family, income, or a place to call her own, Kia’s voice trembled with the raw emotion she could no longer contain.

Guided by compassion, the volunteers at Veterans Rebuilding Life first offered a calming presence, then swiftly secured temporary housing for the night, a haven where she could safely rest. Simultaneously, a dedicated group of volunteers collaborated to develop long-term solutions on Kia’s behalf.

Within 48 hours, the unwavering commitment of Veterans Rebuilding Life bore fruit. Permanent shelter tailored for veterans became Kia’s reality, a sanctuary procured through the quick and meticulous collaboration of Veterans Rebuilding Life, the Division of Veteran Services, and Beacon House.
