COLLABORATIVE RESOURCES
Founded in 2021 by Matthew Simoni and Jade Pinto, Bravo Foxtrot United Veterans Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting homeless veterans and those battling severe mental health challenges. Through innovative and compassionate outreach, we connect veterans who have fallen through the cracks—those overlooked by traditional systems—with the resources and benefits they rightfully deserve but have long been denied.
Matthew and Jade launched the organization on a foundation of inclusivity, advocacy, and determination. By addressing the root causes of veteran homelessness and mental health struggles, they have created a mission that not only provides critical support but also drives meaningful change in tackling systemic issues.
The work we do is not without challenges. Serving this vulnerable population often means facing resistance and setbacks, but our resolve never wavers. We continue to fight for those who have served our country, helping them reintegrate into society and rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. Together, we are paving the way for a future where no veteran is left behind.

We've Raised Over $100,000 to Help Veterans Across Long Island
Your tax-deductible donation to the Bravo Foxtrot will make a meaningful difference in the Long Island military/veteran community. Approximately 80% of every dollar goes directly to programs that ensure our heroes and their families thrive today and tomorrow. The Bravo Foxtrot Board Members and Volunteers do not take salaries.
We have a comprehensive, proven process for selecting impactful programs that meet the immediate needs of the veteran population, while also addressing deeper-rooted barriers to their long-term stability. We fund the programs that are changing and saving lives and work tirelessly to ensure those programs are effective.
Bravo Foxtrot also accepts physical donations 6 days a week. Please schedule in advance by calling.

Long Island Veteran FAQs
Do you have questions about Bravo Foxtrot and the help that is needed for our veterans?
What services does Bravo Foxtrot provide veterans?
The assistance we provide includes essentials such as food, clothing, hygiene products, talk groups, virtual meetings, and advocacy. In addition, Bravo Foxtrot is sponsored by Fusco Branstein and Rada law firm in order to provide the deserved legal aid for these veterans and to fulfill the “financial stability” aspect of their mental health/social status recovery.
How are the donations used?
Bravo Foxtrot United Veterans Inc. was formed for the purpose of establishing a residential program(s) that will provide temporary stable housing and holistic therapy (meditation, self-awareness, mind/body/spirit cohesion, etc.) to veterans in order to facilitate their successful reintegration back into their families and communities.
Bravo Foxtrot is approved by the OTDA (Office of Temporary Disability and Assistance) to house 20 or more veterans (known as an adult shelter). Our goal is to implement this in the form of temporary and stable housing in a rural or semi-rural area. Healing modalities such as meditation in motion (by working with plants and the land), working with animals, meditation, and other holistic means will be heavily promoted as well as veering off traditional Western medication as a sole treatment plan.
The donations received go to fulfilling this mission.
What percentage of monetary donations go to veterans?
After operating costs, 100% of all donations go to assisting veterans! The Board of Directors are all volunteers and do not receive salaries.
