Help a Disabled Vet & His Family

I am a father of 2 and a disabled veteran after 9 years of being 37F (psyop specialist) in the Army, now, a musician/artist/entertainer full time thanks to my medical preventing me from working a normal 9 to 5; however I can’t book paying gigs even due to my medical situation and not being able to guarantee making half of the shows I book between my ptsd, diabetes, insomnia as the big 3 of a page and a half of medical conditions. I love people (making them smile and seeing them have fun) but I can’t even leave my house more than an hour most days. So, I write, produce, and pop out to open mics/karaoke nights to manage. I’ve filed for unemployable with 2 Psych recommendations (off a 70% noncombat rating), I can’t get my diabetes connected from getting it from the Anthrax Vaccine at a 1/1000 odd on a congressional report (even)x and stuck. I have a hard time asking for help, especially money, but we’re facing eviction, food pantries, 2+ behind on bills and collections, and some. We really need a blessing right now while waiting for the filing process to produce a decision letter and updated rating. Thank you so much for anyone who helps.

Tranding Fundraisers

I’ve created this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friends, Sarah and James, who are enduring every parent’s worst nightmare — the loss of their beloved son, Leo.

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.

Hi everyone — Angela here, writing on behalf of Matthew (for now). On December 6th, completely out of the blue, Matthew suffered a severe stroke.
