Home Buying Grant For PTSD Disabled US Marine Veteran With Severe Depression
by Ralph
(Mount Vernon, Illinois, USA)
I'm a 45-year-old veteran of the United States Marine Corps. I was honorably discharged.
I'm a single father of four kids. Two of my kids still live at home. They depend on me for everything.
I am being treated for PTSD and severe depression. This occurred when I was with my unit. I witnessed a horrific explosion. And saw people I knew die.
I am still going through the rating process for my disability. I am permanently disabled for life.
The hardship on my family is very difficult for me. We have rented houses, sometimes a bit too small for us, but we are grateful for what we have.
I have never owned a home or a new car, as could never afford one. But we don't complain.
I would just like to be able to walk into a home and say, "We are not renting anymore. We are buying."
I tried to work and for many years I did. But now I cannot. I get a VA disability pension and SSDI.
My needs are grants of any kind of assistance that would help me buy a home.
If I had the chance I would like to have my own business. My idea is to buy some land, dig a few ponds and raise fish to sell.
