Make Homes of Disabled Veterans Safer Through Home Modifications and Accessibility Upgrades

Disabled U.S. veterans often struggle to move safely in their own homes. Narrow doorways, unsafe steps, slippery bathrooms, and poor lighting can lead to dangerous falls.

They need:

- Ramps that make entrances usable
- Grab bars that prevent falls
- Safer bathroom features
- Brighter lighting
- Other essential upgrades that protect independence.

Many veterans rely on their dogs for stability and emotional support, yet their homes are not set up for safe daily living. When the house becomes unsafe, both the veteran and the dog are at risk.

Your gift helps fix that.

Your donation provides practical home safety improvements that disabled veterans urgently need. A safer home means the veteran can stay where they feel secure and continue living alongside the dog that gives them comfort and strength.

Many veterans live on limited income and cannot afford even simple safety installations. Your donation removes this barrier. You make daily life safer and less stressful. You reduce the chance of preventable injuries. You help a veteran stay at home with the dog they depend on.

Your support has an immediate impact.

A small improvement can prevent a fall, ease daily movement, and restore confidence. You make home a safe place again.

Thank you for helping disabled veterans stay safe at home.

Help family caregivers who give so much

Family caregivers of disabled and elderly veterans give their time, sleep, and strength every day. They lift, guide, steady, and support their loved one from morning to night. Many are exhausted. Many feel alone. Many worry about safety in their own home.

We surveyed the family caregivers of elderly and disabled veterans, and this is what they said they wanted:

- Respite

- Transportation

- Supplies

- Emotional support

Many also requested a safe ramp at the front door, grab bars in the bathroom, railings along stairs, and modifications that prevent falls

These interventions help caregivers keep going.

Pawsitivity Service Dogs for Veterans created this project because our work has always centered on supporting veterans and the families who care for them. When a home is safer and easier to navigate, the entire family can breathe again. The caregiver can rest. The veteran can move with confidence. Everyone benefits.

Every improvement you fund makes a real difference. You lighten the burden on a family that carries so much. You help a caregiver feel supported. You help a veteran move safely in the place they call home.

Why this matters so much

Most family caregivers do not ask for help. They quietly give everything they have. Many care for veterans who live with mobility challenges, medical issues, or PTSD. The work is constant. The risk of burnout is high. A safe home reduces stress for everyone.

Your donation gives hope to families who rarely receive support.
