Coast Guard- Unpaid & Unfair, Please Help!

Please help support unpaid Coast Guard families. My older brother is a proud hardworking member of the United States Coast Guard, who due to the government shutdown is working without pay. He has two beautiful children that he helps financially support. He is also newly engaged to an awesome woman. They met through her brother, who is also serving our country as a proud Coast Guard member. He and his wife are also struggling in a one income family with a special needs child. Please help. Every little bit will help cover the cost of bills, rent, groceries, etc.
Depending on the amount raised this money will be dispersed to as many families as possible.
