Absolutely. Our government has created an emergency fund precisely to respond to urgent requests for which we do not have a specific envelope.
Veterans may apply for funds in order to meet various needs. For example, these funds can be used to pay for medical services, a month's rent, or a hydro bill. They can be used for any emergency that arises. A person can apply to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the request will be assessed, and the person can receive funds.
I also have to say that there are a number of legion branches or community groups that work with veterans. Often, they will contact us directly to make sure we are able to send them money.
