Vehicle And Housing Grant Money For Service Connected Disabled USMC Veteran
by David Ericksen
After four years in the USMC, I was wounded on active duty and given a medical discharge. I have very serious medical conditions and need a vehicle that is safe to make the hour and a half trip to the VA. I am in the process of obtaining 100% since I have not been able to work for 20 years due to my SC. I am service connected for injuries to both my knees. My other disabilities include: - High blood pressure that has caused seizures, heart attacks and a stroke. - Damage to the venous structure in my right leg - Deafness and tinnitus - Hepatitis C - Thyroid cancer These conditions require me to travel back and forth to the VA quite often. My vehicle is very old and unreliable. I have my family staying with an old friend. This is coming to an end soon and I may be on the streets with my family. I need a helping hand with a good vehicle and some help finding a safe place for us to live together as a family. I have been told there are government grants available for such situations. This is a real emergency because I need proper treatment and care for several health issues. I have been unable to work since 1992. All my disabilities are getting worse. I also suffer from chronic pain. I tried to get jobs and due to my health and physical disabilities it is impossible. I get SSDI, which I received on my first try. I have never received a grant or church help or donations. I am looking for a grant for a newer safe vehicle so I can make my medical appointments. I go without so much and have been told by doctors that I will die if I don't address some of my issues. I need help or a grant for affordable housing for my family and myself. I also need legal help getting my 100% VA service connection for unemployability. I think 20 years is long enough. I struggle every day just to barely get by. Any help would be a blessing.
