testimonials

Our work speaks for itself.

(But the people we work with say nice things, too.)

The Peer to Peer support provided by Clear Path in Onondaga County is pivotal to help improve the lives of our veterans, military members, and their families. Clear Path provides support that would not otherwise be available to many of our claimants. This support is needed when navigating the VA Claims process, which can be time-consuming and emotional.
