Help Homeless Veteran, Help Others

Donation protected
Hello Everyone, 

My name is Alexandria. I am USAF Veteran, Registered Radiology Technologist that has been struggling since Fall of 2012 to make ends meet. For the first time in my 55yrs on this Earth; I find myself unable to support myself. A friend suggested that I post an account here to ask for help that I need. I have a plan. I need Help. I am becoming completely homeless by the end of April 2017. I was raised if you work hard then you will do well the economy have changed that - I want to feel safe and secure.

The economy killed my career (as an EMR Consultant) and I have been struggling to support myself since then; I used my savings to start a Self Defense business (with a focus on helping women), which did not work out, and I lost everything. I have tried many entry-level jobs that did not work out. 

Last March my PTSD spiraled out of control and was hanging on my fingernails and my chronic pain was settled in at a 7 or 8 pain level, then the Divine led me to find CBD, which helped me manage my everyday Brokenness and Chronic excessive Pain. I became a sales rep for the company and quickly was brought into the company family fold. I spent most of last year traveling the country and working company sponsored booths. This year I will be doing the same thing with more responsibility. I have started a website alexandriaelkwood.com which has gathered information about natural healing methods. I have always worked in service of others no matter what my situation is at the time.

This is a grass roots movement of education on the healing properties of hemp. I consult for a local alternative method doctor to help her cancer and chronic pain patients with the CBD and other plant medicine. Everything I am doing right now and for the last year has been a long-term benefit for me and everyone I meet. It will be very hard for me to help others if We have to live in my truck. 

The plan involves a safe living environment (which we do not have now) for myself, Heidi my service dog, Frankie my 15yr old cat and Helen the kitten someone left in the front yard last year. Buy a RV that We live in full time that I can travel in and work the shows and live in the off season (if my income flexs at least we will have somewhere safe to sleep and eat) to continue helping people in need for a better managed life through health both spiritual and physically. I have found a converted bus that would be perfect for our needs long term. We (me and the furbabies) need a safe and secure place to live so We do not have to sleep in the truck. I have been on my own since before I graduated high school, I joined the Air Force as a Crew Chief on F-16, completed College as a Radiology Technologist, had a few side businesses over the years, EMR Consultant all with managing debilitating PTSD, Chronic Pain, Migraines, TIAs/Stroke, Asthma.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I thank and Bless all of those donate to help me. Please know that I appreciate it and it will be paid forward. Folks I have been helping with their pain and cancer tell me that I am on a mission from God and the help I have provided unreplaceable. I truly feel that I am helping and I am doing what was meant to do, just need help to get there. If that was true, it would be good to continue the work.

Blessings, Alexandria
My Website

I have done a partial trade/cash deal on an older motorcoach that is mechanially sound and needs some remodeling and a lot of cleaning. I take delievery March 25th, 2017 and have a place to park it and plug in for a small fee to have a safe place to do the remodeling and cleanup. The guy I am getting this from is going to install the generator and do a brake job on it for me over the next month including a few other minor things. My move out date has moved to end of April 2017. So this motor coach is much cheaper then the other one I was looking at so I need less money help so I have lower requested help to $9000 from $14000.
