Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Disabled Veterans Committee on HousingVeteranOwnedBusiness.com is proud to welcome Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing of Winchester, Virginia (Frederick County VA) to the Veteran Owned Business Directory Non Profit Section.

Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing Details: I am John S. Lewandowski; President/CEO of the Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, also I am 100% disabled veteran with loss of use of lower extremities due to a service connected injury. I like many of you when confronted with my injury didn’t know where to turn and it became almost impossible for me to get around my home, so I had to turn to outside help in this matter. Boy, little did I know how expenses and how time consuming it became; it took over 3 years just to get a contractor that didn’t want to take an arm and a leg for their work. Here is the list of categories that the Veterans Administration will provide grant assistance to our veterans.

The categories are as follows:

  • Debilitating injury such as loss of or loss of use of lower extremities,
  • Loss of or loss of use of upper extremities (paraplegic and quadriplegic),
  • Loss of or loss of use of one upper & lower extremities,
  • Severe burns over greater than 70% of their bodies,
  • Blindness,
  • TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury),
  • ALS and many more…

I said that there should be an easier way for us veterans to eliminate all this hassle, so I started an agency that can setup a “One Stop Shop” called Disabled Veterans Committee on Housing. Our Board of Director’s is made up of Disabled veterans like ourselves and we have made the work of getting your home either remodeled or a newly accessible and affordable home built to your specifications.

This inspiring event was one of the primary catalysts for the creation of ConcertsForTroops.Org and we’ve found the morale boosting and inspiration to be a two-way street. “There’s seriously wounded troops here that are missing limbs who amazingly and selflessly just want to get back with their combat units in Iraq or Afghanistan, and they’re giving us a great, great feeling with such a great response, it’s just amazing”, said Founder and Music Director Bobby ‘Blue’ Perry, who also serves as the bandleader and guitarist of the houserockin’ band Blues Unchained. Blues Unchained has donated profits from their bands t-shirts sales to help raise funds, and singer Eddie Crowe adds, “the feeling you get playing for the troops is incredible, I’ll play for them anytime, anywhere”. The Washington Redskins, the University of Maryland’s Athletic Department, The Baltimore Sports Museums (Babe Ruth Museum, Sports Legends Museums), ESPN Sportscaster Scott Van Pelt, Fox Sports Radio, Blues Unchained, and others came together to contribute donated t-shirts, souvenirs, autographed banners and more that was distributed to the troops at the concert. Read more about our awesome and humbling experience at this inspiring event here.
