Supported youth soccer in America through programs such as the Olympic Development Programs (ODP) while stationed abroad serving in the Army. Always willing to volunteer his time to support worthwhile causes and public events throughout the various channels in his community. |
| Current Situation: | Eli has aggressively dealt with the financial challenges of living on a greatly reduced income since leaving the military. He has trimmed his living expenses, is working as a substitute teacher in two districts during the school year, and expects to earn an alternative teacher certficate in August 2009. Eli has also worked evenings in part-time jobs to supplement his regular income. After successfully filing for service-connected compensation from the Veterans Administration he expects this modest income to start in 3 months; he is also appealing the VA's current ruling. In the meantime, Eli needs help paying for basic living expenses and replacing a well-worn old car. |
