OAKLAND/MACOMB COUNTIES Zaneta Adams’ experience with the Michigan Veterans Trust Fund extends back to her time in law school, when her car broke down and she was in need of support.
She didn’t have the funds for the repair, but she knew she couldn’t miss classes or other appointments. If she did, her spot in school could be taken and her future would be jeopardized.
She wasn’t aware of the trust fund, but another veteran informed her about the resource. The MVTF was able to get those funds to Adams, who is now the director of the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency.
Isolation and misunderstanding could be part of the reason for this statistic for veterans: Between 17 and 18 veterans die by suicide every day in the U.S.
