This is the first post. My name is David Almaguer, I work on Air condition, and heating, I started in 1969 with an uncle who is still in the business.  I hope that I can help some of you, I have been known to fix them on the phone, you just have to hold the phone close to the unit (hahaha). please feel free to contact me. It is not about the money, it is about helping one another. Not long ago I met a vet who is on his death bed whose unit had died. I did not know who to go to for help.

Robert Porteous was one of the lucky ones on May 5, 1975 when he was discharged from the Navy after 15 months of service. It was the last day of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.  He came out without a scratch, but it was just a few years later at age 39, that Porteous suffered a massive stroke.

Here at Veterans' Outreach we constantly strive to offer assitance to veterans and their families- working to provide services vital to success and reintegration into our society. As a growing institution looking to expand through out the nation, we are actively taking the steps necessary to secure our transactions, so that we may help support our troops in anyway necessary.

   On Friday, March 9 Veterans’ Outreach finally received a much anticipated grant of $6,000 from Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine in recognition of its outstanding service to veterans and the greater Ohio community. 

   Along with other Ohio veterans charities, Veterans’ Outreach was informed of the award on Veterans’ Day of 2011. Teri Ely, Executive Director, remembers the day vividly.
