Hello, my name is Alex. I'm a 38-year-old Army veteran, and I have previously worked as a welder/fabricator. In the years since my military career, my health has become an ongoing issue: I experience daily headaches/migraines with light sensitivity and have a history of stomach ulcers. As a result of those two combined issues, I have not been able to work very much; my job had physical and mental requirements that I'm unable to perform at this time. So, I'm asking for a little help making it through the month until my local VA can see me and I can find a new job. Thank you for reading about me, and thank you for any help you can give me.
