During the summer I work a lot but like right now my vehicle is broke down and I don't have the money to pay for it and can't always afford an uber so I miss a lot of appointments.

Doesn't the VA have a program to help Veterans get their vehicles fixed?

Many veterans get cold feet or feel embarrassed about going in person to a VA clinic for therapy

This is a great idea especially in more rural areas like PA. Only concern I have is related to the safety of these interchanges. I continue to have real concerns about security.
