When the System Fails You — Ask CFW for Help
If you or someone you love has been abandoned overseas, ignored by the institutions that should be helping, or left without support after serving U.S. interests, this is where you ask CFW to step in.
The Covenant for Forgotten Warriors handles cases involving stranded veterans, government contractors, silenced whistleblowers, and journalists at risk who have been abandoned by U.S. agencies overseas.

- Complete the form with as much detail and documentation as you can safely provide, including dates, locations, agencies involved, and any prior attempts to get help.
- Our operations team reviews your request, triages urgency, and follows up if we believe CFW is the right organization to help; all CFW forms are encrypted to protect your information.

General Assistance Request
Standard intake for veterans and related cases where there is government abandonment, bureaucratic obstruction, benefit denial, or an overseas situation that may require CFW advocacy. Use this form for non‑emergency cases so we can collect basic intel and determine whether your situation falls within our Services & Scope.
If you are not sure which form to use but believe your situation may fall under CFW’s mission, start here and provide as much detail as you can.
Family Member Assistance
For family members advocating on behalf of a veteran, U.S. government contractor, or American overseas who cannot submit directly. CFW can work with designated family contacts when the primary individual is unreachable, incapacitated, or unsafe to contact openly.
Confidential Whistleblower Submission
For insiders, government employees, contractors, or witnesses with information about systemic failures, cover‑ups, or deliberate abandonment connected to CFW’s mission. Anonymous submissions are supported, and secure document uploads are accepted so you can provide evidence without exposing your identity.
Before submitting, review our Services & Scope and Evidence Documentation Standards to understand the types of cases CFW can responsibly engage.
