Gerald's VA disability fund

Donation protected
My name is Gerald. I served in the Navy, attached to the Marine Corps through Desert Storm/Desert Shield. I was a combat medic, a Corpsman. I served my country honorably.
    I have been in a battle with the Veterans Administration for over twenty years. This conflict has come to a head recently, as the system to maintain my wellness has begun to fail. The conditions under which I am now being treated have become exponentially worsend by bureaucracy and malpractice in its lowest form. There is a brand new clinic here in Montgomery, Alabama. They put it on the East side to gain visibility to the upwardly mobile on that side of town. It is a house of bones. The facility, responsible for the treatment of the entire region, employs only 3 (THREE) doctors for thousands of veterans.
    Please read my story on Facebook for regular updates. I have had to limit my work due to my illnesses, causing me great financial strain. This stress, combined with the already disabling conditions that put me there in the first place, cause extreme depression and angry outbursts at inappropriate times. Both symptoms have been  exacerbated by being turned away. The wait time for appointments is at least three months long or longer.
    I am asking for just enough to keep me from going into debt as I fight this corrupt system, and gain the "award" of full disability. Those that know me personally know my struggle.

    Please consider donating any amount to help me reach my goal. The support of family and friends is essential to the recovery of wounded wariors. I am asking you to become part of that support system. Veterans deserve better treatment.

    Please donate, then call/write your elected officials and let them know that you are aware of this issue.
