This is Juan from Missouri’s story…

"My father, U.S. Army retired Major Juan R. Saavedra, needs help. In 2019, my parents were forced to leave their longtime home. My mother, a Veteran of both the U.S. Navy and Army, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and had to stop working. With rising costs and declining health, they moved to Joplin, Missouri, hoping for a safe place to settle.

They trusted a builder to create a home where they could rest. Within three months, the foundation began to fail. The slab cracked and split due to poor construction. There was no proper reinforcement, and a structural engineer confirmed the home would need to be rebuilt. My father tried for months to reach the builder, but received little response. The home flooded when it rained, and the damage continued to worsen.

When he contacted the warranty company, he learned the policy had been canceled just days after it began. There was no coverage to help fix the damage. As the foundation shifted, the floors became uneven. One day, my mother tripped, hit her head, and suffered seizures. She passed away four days later. Our family was devastated, and my father lost the love of his life.

My parents spent their lives serving others. They fostered over 400 children with special needs and adopted nine. My father served 33 years in the Army before retiring due to cancer. He has always been strong and selfless, and he would never ask for help on his own.

I am asking for him. He is grieving, exhausted, and facing a home that is no longer safe. He would fix it himself if he could, but he is no longer able. Any support will help repair the foundation and give him a safe place to live again."
