Generations Life, Inc. provides home-based medical and mental healthcare to low-income and disabled veterans in metropolitan Atlanta. It aims to fill the gap for the over 85,000 local veterans in need by coordinating benefits and advocating for patients' rights, as the VA office processes claims for only 33,000 veterans despite a population growth of 91.5%. The organization seeks to raise funds to increase its capacity and serve thousands more veterans who face long wait times for the healthcare and benefits they deserve.
