Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I’m eligible?
Any veteran who meets the following criteria is eligible for the Wingman Program.
  1. You have served in combat or imminent danger areas.
  2. You are struggling with financial hardship​
Can my family be included in this program?
Yes, a qualified veteran’s spouse and children are also eligible if you meet these requirements:
  1. Currently living with your spouse and/or children.
  2. Able to provide a valid marriage license. 
  3. Your child/children are less than 18 years old. 
What types of requests can I make?
The most common needs from veterans typically fit within one of these seven categories, but are not limited as such:
  • Health and Wellness
  • Education
  • Essential Needs
  • Transportation
  • Residential
  • Employment
  • Medical
  • Other
What types of items are NOT provided?
We are not able to support the following requests:
  • Cash, credit cards, military charge cards, or retail store cards.
  • Cable, internet, or secondary phones.
  • Cosmetic or investigational medical procedures and expenses.
  • Taxes—property or otherwise. 
  • Any other expenses that do not fit within the seven categories mentioned above.

This list is not all inclusive. Each request will be carefully reviewed for its own merits.
How long does a Wingman mission take?
The Wingman volunteers will try their absolute best to get you what you need, but we can’t 100% guarantee we can satisfy all requests. Depending on the ask, the turnaround time could be between 1 week to 3 months or more.
When will I be partnered with a Wingman?
We aim to pair veterans with a Wingman volunteer as soon as possible, but timing could vary between 10 days and 3 months. We make our best effort to have both within the surrounding community, but this is not always possible. Therefore, veterans may be assigned a Wingman who lives in a different state.
How do I apply and when will I hear back?
Here are the best ways to apply:
  1. Visit our website at www.everyoneforveterans.org/veterans to complete the application.
  2. Email the Wingman Program Manager at wingman@everyoneforveterans.org 
    ​
We usually respond within 7 to 10 business days, depending on when required documentation is received.
What documents are needed to apply?
We would need the following:
  1. Copy of your DD214
  2. Current copy of your VA award Letter
Who can I contact if I need help applying?
Feel free to reach out to our Wingman Program Manager:
Megan Fritz
