Many people may not know this about Jon Bon Jovi, but he really gives back. He has donated over $500,000 to help to build 70 new homes for homeless veterans around Washington D.C. He has done so, with his band, through the JBJ Soul Foundation. While speaking on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” he explained his motivation.
“Oftentimes, they’re [veterans] left to deal with PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] and the issue of coming back to the workplace after leaving the battlefield … Life as you knew it is going to be different, and sometimes, people need that extra help.”
His band’s new song, Unbroken, just dropped as well and is written for the document called “To Be Of Service” about veterans and their service dogs. All proceeds from the song will benefit the Patriotic Service Dog Foundation.
