In the bustling city of Las Vegas, where the glitz and glamour often overshadow the struggles faced by its residents, a remarkable organization called Vegas Stronger is quietly making a profound impact. With unwavering dedication, Vegas Stronger, Chairman Dave Marlon and President Debra Leavitt are leading the noble mission of helping homeless veterans overcome addiction, rebuild their lives, and find hope for a brighter future.
