The Kindest Donors and Supporters, Thank you so much for your generous donation in support of my family and myself during the hardest financial times. You and organizations like yours continue to save millions of veteran's families like mine. Thank you for I am so thankful to have been considered for this assistance. As you already know, I have had financial hardship which had struck my family in unprecedented ways. The hardship has resulted from my military service to our great country. It's such honor that you found it within your hearts to save us. With your generous support, my family will have a roof under our heads for a whole month. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and assistance but I pray that the good Lord bless your hearts and the work you are doing through Modest Foundation. Thank you again.

Transitioning Veteran with Combat Related PTSD Needs Rent Help

My Story:

I am a USMC veteran who separated from active duty military service in July 2016. I suffer from combat related PTSD and have begun to receive a small amount of disability compensation through the VA. I am newly married and am also a father of one 3-year-old son from my previous marriage. My new wife and I are expecting a baby. She works on a part-time basis, and I am going to school using my GI Bill benefits.

I have not been able to find civilian employment yet, and have relied primarily on my educational benefits from the VA to pay for our rent each month. Due to the gap in semesters, I did not receive any housing coverage last month, causing us to fall behind on our rent payment.

I am asking for Modest Needs to help us with our rent. I am worried that my pregnant wife and I will become homeless if we cannot find assistance to bring our rent back on schedule.

Your help will ensure that we are not evicted from our home and will give us stability during this phase of transition to civilian life. I am in the process of seeking a part-time job that I can mange around school to prevent this situation from occurring again. We are very thankful for your help.
