MOAA is seeing an increased demand signal to help those in our uniformed services community facing the aftermath of natural disasters, financial struggles, and health issues they encounter through no fault of their own.
 
The MOAA Foundation’s Crisis Relief Program provides financial grants to military and veteran families when they need it most, often after they’ve exhausted all other options. These are individuals and families who may not be eligible for support from service relief societies or the VA, whose lives have been upended due to job loss, medical emergencies, and natural disasters.  

What we often see is heartbreaking, and it’s why this program matters so deeply.
 
Here’s just one story of how your support makes an impact: 
 
D’Juan served six years in the Air Force. He lives in Georgia with his wife, their 13-year-old son who has ADHD, and his 80-year-old mother-in-law. Earlier this year, his wife became disabled and could no longer work. Without her income, their financial situation quickly spiraled as bills piled up, the mortgage fell behind, and a fallen tree led to costly septic repairs. 
 
With the weight of being the sole provider and caregiver for his entire family, D’Juan felt overwhelmed. Thanks to support from MOAA’s Crisis Relief Program, he was able to catch up on critical expenses and breathe a little easier while continuing to care for his loved ones.

September marks National Preparedness Month, so we’re asking our community to stand with us and ensure The MOAA Foundation is prepared and ready to respond to the needs of our community.

Every applicant tells a story. A family seeking safe housing after a flood. A wounded warrior with PTSD unexpectedly without a job. A disabled veteran’s home and wheelchair ramp damaged in a tornado. MOAA can step in quickly, providing financial relief at just the right time, while also restoring hope and dignity.  That’s the kind of impact your gift can make. 
 
Your donation to The MOAA Foundation means a military family won’t have to wait for help. It means a survivor knows they haven’t been forgotten. It means someone who served this country receives the same loyalty they gave in return.
