Who you can help - the Jackson Family

Army National Guard PFC Auther Jackson (Veteran)
"When Author returned from his last tour in Iraq in 2005 he was a very different man, husband and father. Before he recently sought and began treatment for his dehabilitating posttraumtic stress disorder (PTSD), his entire family continuously struggled with his extreme and unpredictable emotions and behaviors. The Jackson Family has turned an important corner in their lives but needs help dealing with with its short term financial problems."
