Veterans' Benefits

The link below explains Veterans’ Benefits, documents you need to file any claim or sign up for VA healthcare. It explains the red tape and the pitfalls. Please pass on to all Veterans that will benefit. The caveat is that if you are going to file a claim with the VA MAKE SURE that you get an accredited Veterans Service Officer (VSO) to help you with the claim and act as your advocate.

The Diveheart Foundation was founded in Early 2001 and is a non-profit tax exempt 501 (C) (3) national organization chartered in the state of Illinois.  The purpose of Diveheart is to provide and support educational SCUBA diving and snorkeling experience programs that are open to any child, adult, or veteran with a disability with the hope of providing both physical and psychological therapeutic value to that person.

It is the "CAN DO" spirit that Diveheart hopes to instill in all its participants by giving them the confidence and independence that allows them to face their own life challenges and overcome barriers that before might have seemed insurmountable.
Through SCUBA diving, the Diveheart Foundation supports and facilitates programs that teach children and adults with disabilities to fly. Thanks to the wonder of the water column, the oceans and lakes of the world become the forgiving weightless environment of outer space, giving perfect buoyancy to a child or adult who would otherwise struggle on land.
