<div><strong>This is Cari from Nebraska’s story…</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"My mother, Cari, is the strongest person I know. She served in the United States Air Force for seven years during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. From 2005 to 2006, she was deployed to Kuwait. After her service, she returned home carrying both physical and mental health challenges that later led to her medical retirement.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even after leaving the military, she never stopped pushing forward. She raised me and my severely autistic brother while putting herself through college. She earned both a bachelor’s degree in business management and a master’s degree in organizational and economic development. During this time, her health declined, and she was later classified as 100% disabled due to combat-related conditions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite everything, she remained strong. She has gone through 16 major surgeries related to her service and still faces ongoing health challenges. Through it all, she continues to show up each day with strength and determination, never letting others see how much she carries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, she lost her mother, just ten years after losing her father. This has been one of the hardest chapters of her life. With more medical procedures ahead, she is facing both emotional and physical challenges all while being $100k in debt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is my hero and my role model. She has given everything to her family and never asked for anything in return. I want her to have peace, comfort, and the chance to rest. Supporting her would mean helping someone who has spent her life being strong for everyone else."
