Hi folks. I'm a Marine Corps veteran who's had just a few too many hard hits in life recently that's left me with nothing but the clothes on my back. Not long ago I had an apartment, a truck, some nice things, decent clothes and even a burgeoning reconciliation of my first love on the horizon. But a couple of deceitful roommates, a whole lot of scandalous new friends and some just plain old bad luck later and I'm now about three years into being homeless as a result and just recently I lost even the last few items I still had to my name. Namely my car a laptop some clothes and a bicycle. And I just can't keep up any more it seems. Im a tough old bird but at the moment I have to admit defeat. I hate asking anyone for anything but at the moment I can't even keep my self warm at night without at least a vehicle to sleep in. And I can't get around very well in order to keep appointments with my doctors and stuff. I'm not asking for a large sum of money to change my life or anything like that. I just hope to get a modest hand up to help me get a good vehicle that I can rely on to get me around, keep me warm at night when all else fails and hopefully some day help me get my business going again God willing. I'm working close with the VA and other institutions to help me try and find an apartment and stuff too so like I said I'm not asking for much. But if any of you have a good truck that you would be willing to work with me on getting it paid for or if you wouldn't mind donating to my fund so I can find a good deal in one some other way I would be eternally grateful and promise to give you all the blessings I can muster in exchange. I'm not without skills and companionship that some people have found useful and needed in the past. Thank you for hearing me out and God bless you for being the kind of person who looks at these fund raisers to find something to offer assistance to. I hope your days are full of love and your nights full of peace.
