Veteran Doug Needs Your Help
Donation protected
I'm Doug an 81 year old 100% disabled Vietnam veteran. I lost my right leg in combat and nearly my left one too. I have had a total knee replacement in my left leg and I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes due to exposure to agent orange in Vietnam. Both my hips are arthritic.
On top of all that, a few weeks ago, I fell and broke the femur in my left leg. I have several months of rehab to go. I am not cleared to drive and my wife doesn't have a license as she is legally blind. The good news is that nearly all of my medical needs and expenses are covered by the Veterans Administration. Neighbors are helping take her to the store to buy food.
My challenge is paying off our main debts so that my wife (who is nearly 15 years younger) will be secure after my time. There are two major debts I would like to eliminate:
1. Our house mortgage now $33,000 ($500/mo.) Taxes and Insurance would continue, so, this amount would pay off the principle and interest.
2. Our vehicle loan now $40,000 ($700/mo.)
So, my goal is to raise $15,000 or more.
