Marine Veteran RO Gonzalez
Executive Director
As a Veteran and Executive Director of VVCAZ, RO Gonzalez knows all too well how hard it is sometimes for veterans to get back on their own two feet. He, like many other veterans, struggled financially, physically and mentally. He knows how some are too proud to ask for much needed help. He thought what many veterans think today, “I am strong enough to handle anything that comes my way,” only to soon realize the hole you were digging yourself into, just keeps getting bigger and bigger. But veterans aren’t just going to set aside their pride and ask for assistance from just anyone. Trust is a huge thing in the military and it’s extremely hard for veterans to find trust in people as they make the transition into civilian life. They’re just not going to open up and trust just anyone and that’s what VVCAZ strives to do. VVCAZ is a place where veterans can go for support, build new relationships and to hopefully find some of the assistance that they so much need.
