Citizen Nine26 is a very small nonprofit with very little funding, but we have big hearts. We come from tragedy and compassion. If you are hurting, please know this. You are not alone. - Executive Director Jim Leighty

We cannot promise justice. But we can help you find a path toward healing. We can help you find resources. We can help you find community and people who will listen.

Over the past year and a half, we have supported people who lost loved ones to police violence, were wrongfully convicted, mistreated by the courts, abused by employers, or harmed by other serious injustices.

If you need assistance registering with the VA or have questions about benefits, please reach out to us. You have benefits that you should be accessing!

One service that the Vanessa Behan Nursery offers is free child care at the Spokane County Courthouse. If a parent needs to go to court and has no one to watch their kids, they can bring them to the VBN center next to the courthouse and the staff will care for the children while the parent is busy.

Together, we can make this resource a powerful tool for those in need. Submit your recommendations through our website, and let’s build a stronger network of support, one connection at a time.
Thank you for helping us create a more compassionate and connected world!

We know that navigating the VA system can feel overwhelming, and it’s common to feel unsure about where to start. That’s where we come in. Citizen Nine26 is here to help you every step of the way.

Beyond medical care, registration opens the door to other programs like the VA’s Whole Health Program, as well as a variety of online tools and resources to support your health and lifestyle.

Your disability rating can further reduce your copay requirements, and veterans with a rating of 50% or higher receive additional cost reductions and benefits.
Registering with the VA also provides you with a VA card, a valuable form of identification to confirm your military service.
