National Guard Sergeant Quentin Richardson (Veteran)
"Quentin re-enlisted in the National Guard in November 2001, ten years after he had retired from the Marines. He served as a detainee supply sergeant at Camp Bucca where the Army reported he saved the US government $750,000 in supply distribution costs. When detainees at the prison revolted and non-lethal suppression methods had failed, the military police opened fire killing many rioters. Quentin participated and was responsible for transporting the dead to a morgue."

| Current Situation: |
Quentin has not been employed since his discharge in November 2005. His PTSD diagnosis by the VA indicated that his reliability and productivity were likely reduced and his social functioning moderately impaired. Both he and his working wife have managed to get along but recent events have placed them under severe financial stress. In August their oldest son Richard Elliot Massey was murdered in Anniston, AL after he had recently lost his job and went to Alabama for the funeral of his uncle. During his visit he was shot and killed over a set of car keys. He was not insured. The Richardsons have depleted their savings and taken on a great deal of financial responsibility for their three (3) grand children ages 2 through 4 years. Financial support through Rebuild Hope will provide funds for basic living expenses. |
