Who We Are & What We've Already Done

Led by Ric Burleson—a 100% service-connected disabled veteran with Special Operations experience—VA Helper provides immediate, pressure-free help through vahelper.org. Our free self-service tools have already assisted 500+ unique veterans with no cost or signup required.

We cut through VA confusion with plain-language resources built by veterans, for veterans—because no one should face the process alone. (Proverbs 31:8-9 guides our commitment to speak up for those in need.)

Our Free Tools (Live Now)

• 2026 VA Math/Disability Rating Calculator: Estimate potential ratings instantly.
• VA Compensation Checker & Common Claims Info: Quick reference for rates and high-success claims.
• Step-by-Step Claim Checklists & Guides: Plain-language downloads and walkthroughs.
• Interactive Military Base Finder & Job/Career Resources: Practical tools for transition support.

All resources are 100% free, accessible 24/7, and require no personal information.

Next Phase: Motivational Care Packages

We're launching a pilot program to send personalized care packages to service-connected disabled veterans. Each package includes:

• Custom challenge coins symbolizing shared service and resilience.
• Motivational sticker packs for daily encouragement.
• Printed plain-language VA guides and checklists.

Starting small (10-package proof-of-concept with photos and testimonials), we aim to scale to hundreds of packages per year—reminding veterans they are seen, valued, and have brothers/sisters in their corner.

Partnership Opportunities

We're seeking partners to help us grow impact:

• Grant & Funding Partners: Foundations/corporations supporting veteran QOL, mental health, or community programs.
• In-Kind Supporters: Printing, shipping, coin/sticker suppliers, or packaging volunteers.
• Referral & Outreach Partners: VSOs, veteran service organizations, or local groups to spread the word about our free tools and packages.
• Volunteer Collaborators: Help pack/distribute packages or enhance tools.

Every partnership amplifies free access for veterans and supports our transition to full-time operations under veteran leadership.

Transparency & Accountability

As a lean, founder-led nonprofit, we operate with minimal overhead—every dollar goes toward tools, packages, and veteran support. Financial reports and impact updates will be shared openly as we grow.
