Our youngest son, Joel, is a decorated Army vet suffering under the burden of complete psychological disability due to his Gulf War PTSD. At present, he is in custody in Rikers Island awaiting a psychological evaluation for fitness to stand trial. After Oct. 16 of this year, he may be further remanded without representation or any means to raise bail. We are therefore humbly and prayerfully asking you to help us raise additional funds for his bail and $30,000 legal defense.

Thank you for anything you can give. As you can imagine, his jail time is extremely dangerous as he has been in law enforcement himself, so the sooner we can get him bail, the better. May God richly bless you as you help free this vet, who in a 6 month span, while he was out on bail, saved the lives of two in a Seattle city park. This included life giving wound care to a victim stabbed in the chest, until medics arrived for him.
