My name is Randy, and I’m a Marine Veteran who recently had 25% of my left lung removed due to injuries I sustained while deployed. I’m currently on a fixed income, and some unforeseen expenses have come up that I’m struggling to cover on my own. It’s not easy for me to ask for help, but I know that sometimes we all need a little support from our community.

One of the biggest challenges I’m facing right now is that my stove stopped working, and the cost to repair it is more than getting a new one. Having a working stove is important for me to follow the diet my doctors recommend, which is essential for my healing and rehab. Being able to prepare healthy meals at home will make a big difference in my recovery.

I also need new tires and a couple of motor repairs for my truck. Reliable transportation is crucial for me to get to my follow-up doctor appointments and rehab sessions. Without my truck, I have to rely on others, which isn’t always possible. Any assistance you can provide would mean the world to me. I know times are tough for everyone, and I truly appreciate any support you can offer as I work toward getting back on my feet.
