Wounded Army Soldier Needs Support For Basic Living Expenses
A Wounded Warrior has been waiting for VA compensation for an unbelievable 15 months. After his separation from the Army, due to his injuries, he was able to secure a part-time job, but was laid off just last month causing his expenses of living to outweigh his income. These unfortunate circumstances have put him in extreme financial hardship, so much so, that his children's mother will not let the children stay with him due to the instability. Considering the emotional distress of the situation, this Wounded Warrior has maintained a positive outlook and has not lost the determination and the will to succeed. This wounded warrior is in need of support for basic living expenses including rent, car payments, gas and food.

Wounded Marine Needs Financial Assistance
Operation Homefront received a request from a military officer with the Wounded Warrior Regiment in South Carolina regarding one of their wounded Marines. When this Marine returned home from deployment he was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder as well as Traumatic Brain Injury received during combat. He has applied for benefits but is yet to receive full pay and is struggling to make ends meet. This service member does not have an automobile and this is causing extreme hardship on him as he is forced to take taxi’s to and from doctor and VA appointments. The cost of doing this is becoming overwhelming. If he can obtain a donated vehicle he would be able to better budget his money and be able to get back on track.
