Campaign Story
Christopher Petree; decorated veteran, father of two small boys, husband, and friend.
There are many words you could describe him with. He has been a service to his community and a proud soldier of the United States Army, carrying burdens few who have not on the front lines could even fathom. After his most recent tour Christopher returned home to Roswell, GA to recruit the next generation of War Fighters.
Then some detestable coward felt that the best way to thank Christopher and his family for his service and sacrifice would be to destroy their family cars. As covered in this news story from WSB.
As the project update stated, both cars were totaled by the insurance company. One vehicle was paid off, but unfortunately the other wasn't. After paying off the note, Chris and his family are out $5,000.
Our goal is to raise enough money to cover this cost as a "Thank you" to a long time veteran and dear friend.
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.
