We're working hard to help our wounded veterans. I have sooooo many new ones each week. Their stories will tear at your heart.
One such wounded husband and wife were trying so hard to make ends meet, but you see the VA is 2 1/2 years behind in processing paperwork that they don't have money for food or a roof over their heads. So they cut out cable, internet and phone. However, that didn't help all that much. Do the next thing they did was take the change they had , went to the grocery store and bought a big bag of white flour. When they got home, she mixed the flour and water together as if you were making duomo longs but she didn't have baking powder or even salt. Next she dropped the spoonsful of flour and water into boiling water to cool it. They ate just that morning, noon and night. He is now down to 137 pounds and she is down just like that. Of course, when I heard about it, I sent them money for food. This is just one example of what is happening to these valiant men and women who have sacrificed their bodies, minds and spirits that you and I may be free.
