The Power of Partnership
How WMVC Connected a Veteran to His Reunion
The West Michigan Veterans Coalition (WMVC) was contacted by a social worker from the Home for Veterans regarding a resident of theirs requesting transportation to his class reunion. The resident did not normally go outside of the home but this time the veteran wanted to go.
With the need of an accessible van that can accommodate a motorized wheelchair and an additional staff person to accompany the veteran, the WMVC contacted their partner, Feonix Mobility Rising. Feonix Mobility Rising is a national organization that focuses on finding solutions to transportation issues. Through the partnership, the WMVC was able to provide the necessary transportation for the veteran to attend his class reunion.
