Capt Daniel Goodman 5074240 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;ve been trying for some time to be allowed to volunteer with VA, as I&#39;ve sent stuff in about for awhile now, to be able to assist with ongoing VA clinical research. I&#39;ve submitted to the purely volunteer/goodwill, unpaid VA voc-rehab and educ (VR&amp;E) mechanisms, as well as spoken with God only knows how many VACO staff about the whole thing, on both the VBA and VBA sides, incl. at the VA hospital near us, about my seeking to be so allowed. I could really use any possible help, advice, whatever, in trying to help speed by bureaucratic/admin train along; I was emailed back a cpl of days ago by one of those I&#39;d chatted with in VACO, I was told it&#39;s being looked into, that for sure. I&#39;d just love to find out if anyone on here is sufficiently high up in the VACO food chain to be able to yak with more about my whole thing, for whatever other possible help I might be able to find through the group here, honest. For whatever any of you might be able to do to try to answer, whether you&#39;re up there in the VACO food chain, as I&#39;d said, know anyone, or have any other sage words of wisdom, my wife and I would obviously be most indebted. I know, I&#39;m Don Quixote tilting at the windmill, looking for a Sancho Panza, however, if nothing else, hopefully, you&#39;ll all at least give me an &quot;A&quot; for creativity, if nothing else, you know? Much appreciated, many thanks.... 2019-09-29T19:54:04-04:00 Capt Daniel Goodman 5074240

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Have you tried reaching out to the Red Cross office in the area of the hospital you’re trying to volunteer with or the Red Cross office in the VA clinic? A lot of the volunteers at VA and Military hospitals go through Red Cross office....
