The Tri-County Veteran Support Network serves our local veterans and their families in crisis here in the Charleston Tri-county area. Resolved to provide more comprehensive and holistic service to our local veterans, we have formed a collaborative network of veteran service agencies in our area called the Tri-County Veteran Support Network. Your partnership will support the continued efforts of the network based at the Tri-County Veterans Support Center at the Naval Weapons Station.
The network serves as a clearing house and focuses on proactively identifying and seeking out those Veterans and their families in our area who are in the midst of crisis. The network assesses their needs and ensures the Veteran and their families are connected to the relevant services necessary from over 175 Veteran Service Agencies within our community.
Tynaya is a US Marine Corps veteran and was at her lowest point in life. The mother of two beautiful boys, she found herself destitute with little options other than couch surfing and living wherever someone would be good enough to give her a roof over her and her boy’s heads. Desperate and feeling very much alone, Tynaya felt helpless and didn’t know what to do. She reached out to a friend who told her about the Tri-County Veteran Support Network. As she had tried to get help with several other resources without any success, Tynaya was wary and skeptical. “From the first call I knew my life was going to change. They were empathetic and sincere. I am so thankful that the Support Network was placed in my life when I needed help. Now my two boys and I are in our new home and loving it!” Not only is Tynaya in her new home but she now has a good job and has recently been accepted into a school that will further her career in the medical field. “Things are looking up for me and I couldn’t have done it this way or this fast without Tim and his team’s help.” This is but one of many success stories of veterans we have been fortunate to serve here in the Charleston Tri-County area and with your help we can reach many more.
