and services in place to help with their needs after services , especially when they are injured or suffer a disability . While there is much room for improvement in these services , many countries provide little or no support to veterans once they have served .
Kaag also knows you cannot do it all alone , so sometimes you need to collaborate . The IM ABLE Foundation has collaborated with other organizations in the past on events and also started “ Operation Lead from the Front ” where IM ABLE teams vets with their adaptive population . The integration forces attention to the adaptive population and not the challenges vets themselves may be facing . Many veterans return from service with burns , paralysis , loss of limbs , traumatic brain injuries ( TBI ), or other forms of trauma .
The IM ABLE Foundation has come a long way . Once providing adaptive equipment grants to now having adaptive programming and more expansive ways to provide opportunities for people of all abilities to thrive . While the Foundation can really use your financial support to help all of these programs continue to benefit the veterans and adaptive participants served , Kaag feels the best way to support the Foundation is to get involved and volunteer . “ We like to have emotionally connected donors .”
