Hi, I’m Francis. After years of service in the Army, I’m now recovering from two herniated spinal discs (L4 and L5) confirmed by two MRIs.

The pain is so severe that I often can’t walk. I just received my DD214—a critical step for getting VA coverage—but I’ve been told it could take 6 months to a year for my claim to be reviewed.

Until then, every MRI, ER visit, medication, and therapy session is out of pocket. Thanks to incredible generosity, we’ve raised nearly $3,000, which has helped me start chiropractic care and cover some urgent bills, but my costs are still overwhelming. Your donation will go toward: • MRI and emergency care bills • Pain management and physical therapy • Living expenses while I’m unable to work

 I served proudly, but right now I need your help. If you can’t donate, please share my story—every share makes a difference. Thank you for supporting me and reminding me that veterans are never truly alone. With gratitude, Francis
