Press
Release
As
a
disabled
vet,
and
the
product
of
a
broken
home,
things
haven't
always
been
easy
for
Jeff
Powell.
But
having
things
difficult
has
helped
him
sympathize
with
others
who,
like
himself,
have
needed
a
helping
hand
from
time
to
time.
That
sympathy
led
to
a
desire
to
want
to
do
something
for
others.
And
that
desire
is
what
helped
him
create,
and
continues
to
fuel,
his
idea
of
VerifiedSupporter.com,
an
on
line
program
he
hopes
will
tap
into
the
generosity
of
the
American
people
to
help
not
just
Vets
like
his-self,
but
others
in
need
as
well.
For
a
membership
fee
of
$29.95
made
on
the
Verified
Supporter
Web
site
(www.verifiedsupporter.com),
a
member
will
receive
an
Memorial
Day
package,
Platinum
Silver
Coated
Coffee
Mug,
T-shirt,
a
Bottom
pin,
and
A
Car
Magnet,
alone
with
the
rights
to
use
the
official
Verified
Supporter
logo
on
their
own
Web
Site.
Powell's
thinking
is
that
using
the
logo,
which
verifies
that
the
user
has
donated,
thus
showing
that
the
donor
cares.
These
are
tough
times,
says
Powell.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
in
need,
and
people
want
to
do
something
to
help.
Their
donations
will
do
just
that,
and
they
can
then
use
the
logo
to
show
others
that
there
are
people
who
are
doing
something,
not
just
talking
about
helping,
but
actually
doing
something.
Hopefully
the
logo
inspires
others
to
donate,
too.
And
so
on.
We're
hoping
for
a
viral
phenomenon
that
will
just
continue
to
Rain
Down.
The
donations
will
go
to
various
Veteran
Agencies
and
Hospitals,
as
well
as
other
Charities.
In
fact,
the
Verified
Supporter
Web
Site
links
to
a
long
list
of
other
Charitable
Organizations.
We're
not
only
here
just
for
our
own
[Veteran's]
causes,
explains
Powell.
We
want
people
to
come
to
the
site
and
start
thinking
about
all
of
the
ways
they
can
help,
and
all
of
the
places
they
can
put
their
donations.
We
know
the
American
people
are
generous
in
tough
times
and
we
just
wanted
to
give
them
a
place
to
come
to,
to
channel
their
efforts.
The
money's
out
there.
We
just
want
to
make
it
easier
for
it
to
circulate
and
find
the
right
spots
where
it
will
do
the
most
good,
in
addition,
VerifiedSupporter.com
visitors
and
members
can
purchase
T-shirts,
coffee
mugs,
pens,
as
well
as
other
such
merchandise
and
apparel,
each
item
with
the
official
Verified
Supporter
logo.
Again,
the
listed
donations
will
go
to
various
charities,
and
Powell
vowed
not
to
receive
on
dime
from
his
actions
in
helping
his
fellow
Americans.Powell
also
states
that
even
doing
this
measure
of
helping
in
a
time
of
crisis,
he
may
lose
his
100%
Veteran
Pay
and
Benefits,
Powell
Say's
he
felt
compelled
in
doing
something
since
losing
everything
he
every
owned.
Even
though
losing
everything
in
a
unjust
matter,
Powell
promise
to
continues
pushing
forward
vowing
in
going
the
extra
mile,
even
well
beyond
the
call
of
duty.
By
vowing
to
Donate
well
over
$800,000,000.00
from
all
the
supporting
Online
Businesses
and
the
sells
of
VerifiedSupporter
Items.
As
far
as
the
matters
of
hardship,
Powell
saying
was
one
of
the
strongest
that
I've
every
heard.
Powell,
vowed
not
only
to
forgive
everyone
that
brought
matters
of
hardship
unto
him,
as
he
forgive
the
person
that
murdered
his
Father,
he
vowed
to
reach
out
to
those
that
continue
to
show
matters
of
hardship,
by
showing
them,
that
there
are
ways
in
coming
together
during
a
time
of
crisis.
Powell
ended
his
statement
by
saying
it
is
forgiving
that
we
are
forgiven,
and
it
is
a
matter
of
helping
that
we
are
helped.
