Homeless Veteran Again!!!!!!

Donation protected
Last night, at 2:00 am, while I was sleeping, I was forced out of my hotel room, that I was temporally living in, for no reason at all.  I was sick with a 100 degree temperature and was dead asleep. The police said I had to go now and my stuff would be safe. I believed them and left. With it being late at night and recovering from the flue,  I forgot my wallet. My wallet had $4000 cash in it to get my truck out of the shop. I withdrew that money due to my debit card not working and being re-ordered.  When I returned in the morning everything was gone. My wallet, my ID, my money, my cloths my life.  Wanting to scream and cry I chose to leave wondering, "Why me again?"  Once again, homeless, sleeping in  my car, no where to call home.  I had a choice get mad, get sad, blame  somebody, or grow  up,  get my head out of my ass, and move on. 

So here I am, homeless, broke again, and truck in the shop.  I  get it, no cares to hear wine, be right, stop complaining and move on.  My goal, get a new home, get my car out of the shop, give  back to giving it back.  I can't do so with out my  truck, with out a home.  As my dad has always told me, "If it were not for bad luck, I would have any luck at all!"

So my truck bill is $3900, I need it to find a place to live,  with a place to live I will be able to return to work at the Veterans Hospital in Palo Alto. I have been off work due to injury and my homelessness since May.  In order to go back tom work I must be stable and have reliable transportation and that transportation is in the shop. With out it I  am in a bad place.

So humbly, I ask you for your help. Help me find a place to live by getting my truck back. Getting my truck back will help me find my housing, once I have a home again, I can return back to work, recovered from my injury's, my homelessness, and just down right bad luck. 

I could give up, I could blame somebody, I could fall off the wagon and just plain give up. But I am not a quitter, I want to do right and stop the blame and feel no shame.  I am not ashamed, I have done nothing wrong, it is what it is! I can't change it, I just to grab myself by my bootstraps and do it.

It is for this reason, I ask for your help; I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Help me get my truck out of the shop, which helps me getting a new home. From there, I will continue to give it back to my fellow veterans and others like me.  The compassion that has come to me, while I was down, I will give back ten fold.

I just need a little help and with that, "I got this and get it!" I have always been willing to sacrifice my needs to help somebody else. Now, I humble my self, realizing, I can't help anybody else, until I fix myself.

So  as I move forward, and  realize I can do this by myself, It will be ok for me to ask for help, from somebody else. 

In thank you in advance I thank you for anything that you can help me with.  And anybody that knows me, I  will sacrifice my needs to help somebody in need.  However,  I am truly in need  of just a little  bit of help.  I get it, stop blaming, complaining, and whining.  No one wants to hear it!

It is what it is, but I got this, I think! 

Thank you and God bless.
