<div>My name is Bev Hoskins, and I’ve proudly served our nation for 27 years through active duty and reserve military service, including 18 years as an Air Reserve Technician (ART) assigned to the 916th Air Refueling Wing, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was on track to retire honorably at age 60, but everything changed on October 2, 2024 when I experienced a seizure &amp; was flown to Wake Med. On New Year’s Day I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma — an aggressive and terminal brain cancer. Despite undergoing two brain surgeries, I am now facing a 3rd craniotomy tomorrow morning, on September 11th at Duke Brain Tumor Center due to the tumors coming back &amp; are now pressing against my brain stem. I continue to fight with faith &amp; strength. Now, I’m also fighting to survive financially.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why I’m Asking for Help:
</div>
<div>Because of my GBM diagnosis, I’m undergoing a Military Evaluation Board (MEB) determination caused by exposure to toxic burn pits during deployments to Turkey, Qatar, and Al Udeid. Until the MEB decision is finalized — which could take +/- six months — I receive no military/or civilian pay. As an ART, I’ll also lose my civilian GS position if I’m deemed medically unfit.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve gone from proudly serving in uniform every day to being completely cut off from income. Fellow military and civilian federal employees have generously donated their individual paid leave to keep me going however, leave donations are all depleted now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Your Support Helps With:
</div>
<div>Your kindness and generosity will help cover: - Medical care expenses not covered by insurance - An organic, healing diet that supports my recovery - Housing, transportation, and utilities while I’m unable to work - Safety upgrades to my home after brain surgery - Basic living costs as I await the MEB decision.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My Heartfelt Request:
</div>
<div>I’ve never asked for help like this before. As a single mother who raised three daughters on my own, I’ve always carried the weight of responsibility. Now, they are caring for me — but we can’t do this alone. I served with honor in environments that may have changed my life forever. If you can give — even a little — it would mean everything. If you can’t give monetarily, please share my story and lift me in your prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with me. With deep gratitude, Bev Hoskins
</div>
