| Passing of Vietnam Veteran, Jay Fink

Passing of Jay Fink, Vietnam Veteran on Monday, January 29th, 2024Photo: Jay Fink and Roy Tschudy at VVA Pig Roast
A note from Roy Tschudy: Jay was a man who loved his fellow veterans. Present at each and every chapter event helpful in fundraising. Jay would be the very first to drop a twenty dollar bill into our donation box at these events. Always with a smile or a laugh, always an extended hand to offer help, always trying his best.
Jay served our country for nine years in the Navy, one of those in Vietnam. Jay delivered much needed supplies for those on the front, without men such as him, others would be without necessities. Jay had a 30 year career as a N.Y.C. Firefighter, a most dangerous profession. Then again, to know Jay, have him as a friend, you would not be surprised at how much he volunteered, how much he gave back. His final chapter has come to a close, leaving all of us who loved him, admired him, wishing Godspeed in his heavenly reward.
Rest in Peace, Jay….you will always be remembered.

| Veteran Directed Care Prevents Nursing Home Admission
|
|
|
What is Veteran Directed Care (VDC)?
The VDC program helps Veterans with long-term care needs remain safely in their own homes and prolongs/prevents nursing home admission. It is designed to empower qualifying Veterans to hire, train, and supervise Personal Care Attendants. A Care Advisor will conduct an assessment to identify service needs and develop personal goals. Once assigned a budget, the Veteran and their Care Advisor will work within the approved budget to create a person-centered service plan.
VDC can provide the opportunity to direct your own care.
This program offers you the ability to choose the services you need and can help maximize your independence by providing help with home-based care and supplies that
are not currently available through traditional VA benefits. Your Care Advisor will provide assistance with your care plan and the program’s fiscal agent will assist with payroll and tax compliance.
Veteran (or Representative) must:
• Accept the role of employer
• Recruit, interview and select staff. Personal Care Attendants (PCA) or Caregivers can be family, friends, or community members.
• Design your own service plan with your Care Advisor
• Designate duties for the PCA
• Provide training and supervision
• Manage your service plan within the approved budget including scheduling employees and managing timesheets.
What services?
Services are based on the
Veteran’s assessed needs.
Activities of daily living examples:
• Bed Mobility
• Transferring
• Walking
• Toileting
• Dressing
• Grooming
• Bathing
• Eating
Instrumental activities of daily living examples:
• Preparing meals
• Light Housework
• Shopping
• Transportation
• Using a phone
• Laundry
• Medication reminders
• Managing finances
To learn more about the VDC program, contact BRIDGES at 845-624-1366 or fill out the form on this link: https://www.bridgesrc.org/home-care/veteran-directed-care/

Faces of Freedom -- Oral Histories and Portraits of the Men and Women that Defend Our Country
I never served in the military, and I never had to make the sacrifices US military veterans have made. I decided I wanted to do something to show my gratitude to our veterans and I began my project which I call Faces of Freedom.
The project consists of interviews and photographs. I meet with veterans, record
their personal history, and take their photo. I print the photo in black and white, frame it and present it to each veteran at no charge. The interview covers each veteran’s life before, during and after their time in the service. Each veteran has the opportunity to make any changes to their bio before it is finalized. I make no money from this project and the photos are free to each veteran.
Currently these photos and bios appear on my website www.facesoffreedom.us. They also appear on my Facebook page and the photos and stories of the WWII veterans have been sent to the National WWII Museum for their archives. There are currently 80 interviews and photos on the website. I hope to make this into an exhibit for universities, high schools, community centers, libraries, etc. to help increase awareness of the 3% of the population who is doing the heavy lifting so the rest of us can enjoy all that this country has to offer.
Every veteran has a story. Some stories are about combat, some are about funny memories, some stories are sad, and some are about things accomplished after their military service. All are about service to country and making sacrifices.
You have a story and I want to tell it to the rest of
the people in the United States. Let’s pick a date and get together to record your history and tell it to our fellow citizens.

As with all good books, be prepared to experience a lot of emotions with this: you will be intrigued, angry, surprised, maybe shed a tear or two, and laugh out loud at some of the shenanigans in this enjoyable tale of fact, fiction and myth. All proceeds of "Endless" go to help veterans. The book is available in paperback or Kindle edition from Amazon:
