Partially Disabled Marine Veteran Seeks Business And Home Repair Grants

by Terry Wiederich
(Gary, SD, USA)

I am a 44-year-old partially disabled veteran who is trying to start over after a very bad year.

In 2007 I suffered a heart attack, resulting in the loss of my wife's and my business.

Then 10 days after suffering my heart attack, our daughter passed away. Two months later my adopted dad passed, resulting in the sale of the family farm (due to greed of other family member).

I have since been trying to get grants to start a new business in the organic raising of beef. Every avenue I have tried I have run into dead ends.

Our credit is not good enough to get loans from the banks and every other organization we contact tells us we don't qualify or we need to have a bank on board before they will even talk to us.

In March of last year, our son-in-law was deployed over seas resulting in my wife and I taking on the raising of our three grandchildren for the year.

We have since discovered the need for a new roof and a new foundation for our house, and again cannot get a loan or any kind of help.

The original plan with the family farm was to save it for the grandchildren as the will had stated.

Due to what actually happened, I would like to be able to start this business to pass on to the grandchildren to make sure they are provided for when the time comes and no one can take it away from them.

Not what he seems...
by: Anonymous

Ask the disabled vet how much child support he has paid in the past and how many jobs he has quit when they started taking child support out. I could go on, but just know he is not what he seems.
