The G.I. Go Fund
Where Veterans Go Forward
The G.I. GO Fund is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization brought together for the purpose of serving our
most honorable and selfless Americans: our nation's Veterans. Our Veterans put the well-being of the
country ahead of themselves through the selfless service they gave to our nation. The G.I. GO Fund believes
it is our turn to repay our debt to the heroic men and women serving in the Armed Forces.
G.I. GO has found that the majority of our veterans experience a poor transition from military to civilian life.
Whether veterans experience challenges post-deployment or after completely separating from the military,
our veterans undergo a transition that no other Americans ever experience in their lifetimes.
In addition to the transition back to civilian life, our service men and women face other obstacles that
compound this difficult period in their lives. Many veterans are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD), which can compound to a them feeling disconnected from their families from being
separated for so long. Also, many veterans accumulate debt upon their return from a deployment, and this
in itself serves as a difficult and discouraging hurdle. At the same time, they struggle to secure employment,
enroll into college, or start or re-start their businesses. In the process, many veterans put off enrolling into
the VA Health Care System, which can be a tragic mistake since many veterans ignore signs or are unaware
they need medical attention.
We do not need to look any further than our streets to see what a failed transition can look like ten years
down the road. One out of four homeless Americans have one thing in common; they once proudly wore
our country's uniform. Today, almost 200,000 homeless veterans live on the streets not knowing the next
time they will eat, take a hot shower, or sleep indoors on a bed. This is a national disgrace and we must
never let our veterans fall through the cracks again.
We have an obligation to our veterans and must ensure they have all the support they need in the pursuit of
happiness in the country they fought so bravely to defend. Whether they are suffering from PTSD and need
some medical or financial assistance or are seeking employment and need help with job searching and
planning, we will do whatever it takes to help them transition to civilian life.
