Summary/Abstract: From the first to the last day of the existence of the Association, one of its major challenges was to provide help for its impoverished members. Finding a job was a priority for the still active women. The Association also tried to help the veterans’ families, with varied success. What is not very comforting, similar problems were experienced by the other organizations belonging to the Federation of Polish Associations of Homeland Defenders (FPZOO). The unemployment and material worries also struck the veterans in other European countries as well as in the United States.
