The koru (Māori for '"loop or coil"') is inspired by the appearance of new unfurling silver fern fronds. The koru symbolizes new life, growth, strength, and peace. Its shape conveys the idea of perpetual movement, while the inner coil suggests returning to the point of origin. Our founding board members felt that this was the perfect representation of our work with veterans and their families. We are inspired each day by the growth, strength, and peace of the combat veterans that we work with. It is our honor to serve those who have served. |
Our story
In 2008, Dr. Theresa Cheng, inspired by the story of a local Iraq veteran, gravely injured by an IED, decided to provide free dental care to the spouses or moms who are caring for our Heroes.
She quickly found out that most of our veterans do not get dental care from the VA. Dr. Cheng is inspired by many dentists who stepped up to help when given the opportunity. Currently, we have more than 400 dentists, plus dozens of specialists and dental labs across the United States who have provided volunteer services to our low-income veterans.
As she gets to know the veterans, she is convinced that all services and goods in any local community can provide tremendous impact in making a difference in the lives of low-income veterans, e.g. marriage counseling, gym membership, sporting goods for healthy habits and so forth, can improve their lives. Most businesses and the local residents would like to help low-income veterans, so Everyone for Veterans (formerly serveourvets.weebly.com) is formed to empower that.
