| Current Situation: | I have served this great country for 22 years. In 2005, my team was hit by an IED blast and I suffered numerous injuries. After returning to Ft. Bragg, I underwent ten months of physical therapy and PTSD counseling. I am now facing surgery to repair nerve damage in both legs. After I returned home and began a four-year divorce that financially ruined me. I have taken financial planning courses and my fiance and I are operating almost on a break even basis each month. Once we pay off a car loan in a few months and my fiance finds work we will be in a healthy financial position. In the meantime, Rebuild Hope has helped us create a realistic budget and is helping us pay for essential living expenses . |
