Campaign Story
John is a 31 year old wounded warrior. John has served in both Irag and Afhganistan for a total of 3 deployments. During Johns final deployment and just a couple weeks before getting to return home, he and his crew were on patrol when a male subject they had stopped to gather intel from blew himself up. 6 soldiers in total were hurt and John was the most serious. Not expected to live John pulled through and put up a fight as he always has. After multiple surgeries and losing both legs, John is still with us today by the Grace of God. John is continuing rehabilitation and trying to get fit for prostetic legs. As the military and his insurance cover most cost, John is still needing money for his bills,non-covered medical costs and children. He has 3 children ages 3,7,11. John is a very family devoted guy who is struggling to keep up on bills, food and every day items for his family. As his wife has to continue to transport him to appointments and rehab and be beside him through all these struggles, she has had to leave her job to take care of him and the family. We are asking for any and all help possible to give back to this soldier who has protected our freedoms and nearly gave his life for our Country. Any donations are accepted and John and his family are very thankful for them.
