Are you familiar with VFW Auxiliary Cancer Grants?

The VFW Auxiliary offers cancer grants to members who are battling cancer.

Eligibility requirements:
• Applicant must be a member of the VFW Auxiliary for one (1) full year.
• Current dues must be paid before applying for a cancer grant.
• After twelve (12) months have passed from date of diagnosis or last treatment, application will not be accepted.
• A member is allowed two (2) grants during lifetime. Twelve (12) months must elapse between new diagnosis and/or treatment from date of first grant for a second application to be considered. Continuous treatment which lasts beyond the twelve (12) month period will qualify for a second grant.
• Application will be rejected if member has been deceased for longer than 30 days.

The grant amount is currently $550.00 and funds are paid directly to the member or, in the case of a deceased member, to their estate. Funds are dispersed 2-4 weeks following the acceptance and approval of the completed and signed application.

Please read the instructions carefully before submitting an application. The most common reason an application is denied is due to missing information from either the member or physician.

To access the application, log into your MALTA account.

This week's Wisdom Wednesday quote was written by renowned mystery author Agatha Christie in her autobiography, published posthumously.

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

September is National Su***de Prevention Month. If you are having thoughts of su***de or self-harm, please know that help is out there. We will be sharing resources throughout the month on our social media and in the E-Newsletter, not only for veterans but for the general public, too.

The Su***de and Crisis Lifeline is 988. Veterans, press 1. For Spanish, press 2. LGBTQIA+ youth (under age 25), press 3. American Indians and Alaskan Natives, press 4. All other callers, stay on the line.

Please note, if you are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, there are 988 Crisis Line options for those using video phones, or you can reach out online for other options and technical support: https://988lifeline.org/deaf-hard-of-hearing-hearing-loss

As we turn the calendar to September, our thoughts begin to turn toward a day that changed our nation 25 years ago and toward the lives, service, and sacrifice that followed.

On Saturday, September 12, Pikes Peak National Cemetery will join Carry The Load’s National Day of Service & Remembrance, giving our community an opportunity to turn remembrance into action.

Join us as we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and all those who have answered the call to serve our country.

September reminds us to remember. September 12 gives us an opportunity to serve.

Remember. Serve. Honor. Carry the Load.
